New Wheels: Volk to Advan (20" RS-D's)

I posted this in the V36 sedan section, but I am assuming most of you don't check that out.... I have been waiting on tires for over 3 weeks, but I just got back from Taiwan yesterday and they came in today (good timing). Here they are mounted up. I am still waiting on center caps, and I will take better pics when time permits. I need to dial in a tad more negative camber on the rear, and I have an appointment setup at Cobb tomorrow to do so.... Enjoy.

That is what I am thinking. I'll get in touch when I am ready to do something.

I am going to some coilovers (Tein SS-P's; I have Eibach springs now). The only real issue I have is I am barely clearing my driveway as is in the front, so I am not really sure how much lower I can go. My stupid neighborhood has these big curbs/humps going into the driveways, and I am already scraping if I don't hit it at the perfect angle.... I would love to slam it down, but I don't know how realistic that is given my driveway issue.

Looks great man! Congrats on the new rims & the front lip. Car is comin along great!

I personally would've gone w/ a diff color to show off the details of the beautiful advans tho. But that's me!

Anyway, I think a nice rear lip spoiler & a roof spoiler would compliment your other mods nicely.

I hear ya bro... I scrape on the streets I have to take on a regular basis... but whatever, do it!
I cringed every time for the first couple of months, now i have gotten used to it.. just make sure you have your undertray in place to take the hit! My undertray is jacked up big time.
And you need to change your sig.

Looking good, get some AVS slim window visors.

I don't think the G35/350Z coils will fit on the 07+ sedans

And you need to change your sig.
The front lip is the only thing I am worried about at this point. I am use to the under side scraping, but I would like to avoid having to fix the lip every 6 months. The low point of my car is actually the resonators and flex section of my Invidia exhaust, but so far they are holding up. I'll take care of the sig....

As Will mentioned, the MDU's don't fit the 07+ sedan. I am likely going with Tein SS-P coilovers (and some SPC front control arms). Let me know when you do another shoot. I am down. I still need to get my center caps though, and I will be on vacation for the next week....
