Upgrading from stock 17's to some 19" wheels, confused on suspension height
I have 113k miles on my 2004 g35 coupe with the stock 17's and stock suspension.
I bought some 7 series BMW 19" wheels with adapters.
I'm confused how much it'll raise my car height, it won't raise 2 inches right? Probably a stupid quesiton...
Depending on how much the car raises, i'll want to get it back to the original height or maybe .5-1 inches lower. Nothing extreme, just very minor.
I've looked at the whole springs vs. coilovers debate and i'm decided on springs as my car is a daily driver on normal roads and just casual driving.
What springs should I get? Get shocks too and a front/rear camber kit? Don't want to spend a lot as I don't want to lower it a ton

My wheels are 225 front and 235 rear
The bmw wheels are 245 front and 275 rear
So to calculate the rear for example, extra 40 mm = 1.57 inches and since it's a circle, half it? So the rear is going to raise up .785 inches?
Am i making this complicated?

Will I be needing to get some lowering springs if it raises the car too much from my height right now?
