I was looking at the ADR m-classic love the look debating if I should run 19 or 20 but not staggered. I saw them on here http://www.bigwheels.net/index.php?l...bold_id=192491
My question are they the right offset, I am running z in front and coupe in rear.

The perfect offset would be +38 all around but a +40 should work also you might need to roll your fenders. I would post up in the wheels section just to make sure.

I had a +40 offset 19 inch wheel with 245/40/19 all around w/ z-springs and I only had a rubbing problem when I have 5 people in the car. If you were to go with 245/35/19 I dont think that you will have any problem.


Does anyone have any pics of what the X looks like with z-springs in the front and coupe springs in the rear?

I will when I get my car back today. I will post them up soon, but they will have the stock 17 on there. Oh btw are you not going with the vrt coilovers. I email JIC so see if they can do some custom one but still no answer.

I really want to go with the VFT coilovers but they are a little more than I wanted to spend. I still might end up going with them.

Would it look the same as a RWD G, since the springs were changed out anyways?

After




Ok coming from a Honda Civic with aftermarket spring and struts I dont mind this ride at all. Yes you feel bumps and yes it does feel floaty sometimes, but most of the time is still as comfortable as it was stock. But of course I am riding on stock and the tires take alot of the shock away. I am happy with my choice and hopefully will get some wheels soon or maybe contact Koni to do my struts. I never thought I would mod another car again since my civic got stolen. Well I was wrong. Oh btw I forgot, I am on 03 350z and 03 coupe springs.

after reading this whole post and looking at the pictures it appears that tein gives a more even drop visually speaking compared to the 350z springs. The z springs make the back look lower then the front.

Its not that the Z-springs lower the rear more than the front. Its just that it lowers the rear too much creating a lot of negative camber and rubbing issues. The Z-springs drop the X approx. 1.5 all around. I loved the look of the Z-springs I just always have people in my G and I hated rubbing.

Anyone ever try the H&R Sport Springs for the G35 Sedan on their X?

The stated drop for the RWD Sedan is 1.1" F, and 1.0" R.

Which is about 1.5" F and 1.4" R for the G35X right?

Thanks.
