I've been using the forum for a little over a year now and just wanted to thank you all for all the help. I've never actually had to post a question, just searched and found what I needed. So here's my first post of what I did to my G today. Finally found a nice set of 19" Rays, had them powder coated, and mounted them. Lowered on revised Z springs with Tokico Blues on all 4. Clutch is starting to slip so it looks like that's going to be my next project.
19x9.5 and 19x10.5 oem rays. i think ima make my own thread. weighed these. 23 and 24. the bands themselves dont weigh that much. 1 and 2 lbs respectively. stocks are 22 and 23
Did someone fabricate those to get them to that size??

Yes the holes line up. But the thing isn't level, so it doesn't bolt down correctly. Hence the "wobble" in the video. Its like an inch off. So the seat is tilted to one side and sits about an inch higher than the drivers side.

That's how they should have came from the factory. What's size tires are you going to run.
Finally lowered my car and installed my toe bolts. The HKS coilovers don't go very low, I really wanted to go a bit lower but I'm maxed out all the way around. Going to get an alignment to fix my stupid amount of rear camber. I'll obviously snap some better pics tomorrow.
Got an alignment and washed her today. My right front caster is WAAYYYY off, but it drives fine at speed and doesn't pull so I think I'm just going to leave it. Any tips for doing my own caster and camber up front for next time? No shops around me know / are willing to adjust it.
Could be your compression rod bushing on that side.
It is indeed the comp rod bushing; caster is not adjustable. The only way to adjust caster is to "tweek" the frame, but on our cars we have one piece that connects the frame to the suspension: the comp rod bushing.

You will want to fix that asap.. You will eat through tires quick
SPC camber arms have castor adjustment. Something is damaged on your car for it to be that far out, others are correct, there is no factory adjustment. Lower arm bushings are likely culprits (compression rod, or lower inner arm).
