I have seen your FX at many shows via the internet and magazines and while it is a truly amazing show vehicle, I do like this particular stage for everyday use.

Thanks in advance for your help and I can't wait to see the future progress of the FX as I am sure you are not done ......

That was 22x10 +20.5 I think, the suspension is a little blurry. This was prior to the coil overs so Eibachs, 1/2 coil cut in the fronts. H&Rs are better though, still cut 1/2 a coil and shave the rubber spring mount in the back and it's pretty much perfect.

I'm not familiar with the sizing or back spacing on the FX's, so is that 22x10 in the front or rear? and what is the +20.5? I'll give you a little example of what I am used to.

I run IForged Daytona wheels on my Audi, 19x8.5 all the way around. The front has a 35mm offset while the rear has a 28mm offset. If you could give me the front and rear size wheels you are running along with the offsets, that would be great.

I read on one of the threads that you posted on, that you were running 22x10 front and 22x12 rear, but I am not sure if that was before or after the widebody conversion. If it was before then all I would need is the front and rear offsets and thanks again for your reply.

Yeah, sorry ........

I am in the market for an 07 FX35 and I liked the particular stance and wheels offset Rookie had at this point so I was just asking some questions as to what he did to get there.

Any other pictures of FX's lowered with springs would be appreciated. Are there any other selections beside Eibach and H&R?

It was 22x10 all around +20.5mm offset. 7.5 inner 2.5 outer for the front. 6.5 inner 3.5 outer rear. Its a 10.5F 12R now. Go to infinitiscene.com for more lowered fx pics. Much more fx stuff there.

Thanks for the info and suggestion on IS, (I already joined ) and thanks for the wheel information as well. I like to plan things out and do a lot of research before I buy anything and your help is appreciated.

I already bookmarked a lot of informative links on IS as far as suspension and handling.
