Advice on flush fitment (pics)

[pakistani]

ok guys, so my friend got his wheels and kit on.
i forgot the brand name of the wheels.
They are 19x8.5 up front with 255/35/19
Rears are 19x9.5 with 275/35/19
He might drop it an inch with the eibach pro kit but what do you guys think? Anyone else runnin a similar setup?

they're decent, the rears could come out a bit more though in my opinion.

I like it, fitment on the kit seems dead on. Eibach Prokit would be a good choice, low though so be careful driving around! Also those wheels have to go.

Whoops! With that KurumaZ front bumper you can't lower that G much unless you want to avoid driveways, speed bumps and intersections....

what are the offsets?

[idrive_MD]

they look like they're probably +35 offsets front and rear. I would say spacers would be much needed to get the flushness he is after, maybe 15mm bolt-ons in the front and 20mm bolt-ons in the rears. They come in pairs, so buy the 15mm set first and see if he prefers that in the rears as opposed to the 20mm. He can also see if the 15mm is too much for the front as well. If it is he can go with 10mm bolt-ons up front and 15mm bolt-ons in the rear. So buy a set of 15mm spacers and see where he likes them and then order the other set in either 10 15 or 20 depending on what direction he thinks it needs to go.

+1.. I have a Kuruma on stock 350z springs and I barely make it doing angels. It gets annoying super quick.

I am. Currently on 350z H-Tech, I don't really scrape at all aside from getting out of my garage if I'm not careful. Although it does limit where I can go especially gas stations.

Gonna be on Bilstein PSS9 coils next spring, trying to get maybe 1/2 finger gap front and back. We'll see how that goes.

so how much of a gap do you have at the moment? front and back

No pics, sorry.

350z H-Techs will give you a little over 1/2 finger gap in front and about 2 finger gap in the rear. It's a pretty lame drop to be honest, if you have the funds go with coilovers. I'm going with Bilsteins in the spring.

If not, the Eibach Prokit is the PERFECT drop for the G35, with 19" wheels they will totally eliminate wheel gap without tucking. It's really ideal, but like I said, your setup is really low to begin with so you may have trouble driving around with Eibach Prokit.

Hence coilovers are going to allow you to get that perfect balance of looks, performance, and driveability.
