i think 19's are the biggest id go on the G because im planning to keep the body stock so im gonna need to fill up the gap as much as possible. if i go wid 20's, id be able to fill up the gap, but the car will still be kinda high, unless i get a bodykit. but 20's also look good on our G's, let me know when u get yours.

im dropped on the same springs. it's almost a "perfect drop" i only wish the front was about .2" lower, but im just being picky... ur rear will settle in a couple weeks and go down about .3 inches more..its truly almost a 2" drop after it settles... if you're not gonna get both camber/toe kits, i would at least get the rears, you can find an eibach(really made by spc) for about 160 shipped so at least you can save some life on the rear tires.

No Problem. you know how u can slide about 1 finger into the tightest spot btwn the rear tire and the fender, it may not fit after it settles, unless you have small hands.

The 20’s will not raise height by much. With 245/35/20 on your fronts you’ll be about .4” more off the ground in comparison to your OEM 19’s with 225/40/19. The rears should remain the same height if you go with 245/30/20.

Here’s the exact change in wheel and tire radius:
FRONT: 225/40/19  245/35/20 equals to R13 inches  R13.4 inches
REAR: 245/40/19  285/30/20 equals to R13.4 inches  R13.4 inches (no change)

I’d still love to see a DF210 w/20’s pic.

I will get my wheels next week, so I’ll post some pics when I do.

i think the ride quality is OK. close to stock, but just a lil bumpier. but i still like it. but yea u got some pretty thin wheels, so i dont know how that would work out.

+1 on the rear camber kit, its easy, cheap, and actually NEEDED. After I lowered by car with Tein Basics, after about 7k miles I noticed a lot of uneven wear in the back. Camber kit seems to have corrected this problem.


As for the fronts, in approximately 10k miles of driving, I've not noticed any uneven side-side wear. IMO, front kits aren't needed unless you want to dial in more NEGATIVE camber.
