Rubbing issues

I have an 04 coupe with stock suspension. Got my wheels from a 350z and they are 19x9.5 +12 on the front and 19x10.5+12 on the rear and my rear tire of 285/40/19 is rubbing. Will a 275/35/19 not rub for that setup?

Is this acceptable?

VERY small play.

I can't imagine it'd be a problem. Once the nuts are tightened it should be enough pressure to even it out. How come you went with V1 spacers? What size are they? 20mm?

15. The purpose of the hubcentric is to bear the axle load away from the lugs. I kept getting grief from the v2s. But now after I ordered the 20mm V1, it came with lugs only 17mm longer. So I said I'll get 15mm and gain 2mm instead of loosing 3mm. Now I have this problem. Shud have stayed V2. Hence I have boo koo spacers for sale. I didn't install these completely as I contacted the company I bought them from. It's an in house brand of a reputable company. The ichiba rings were actually perfect.

How much should I expect to pay for OEM 18" 7 spoke rims?

I'm not a flashy guy but I am looking to upgrade my 17" OEM rims to the 7 spoke 18" OEM ones. I won't have the spare cash for a few months but i was curious as to what I should expect to pay for em? I am also looking for a DG trunk with the OEM spoiler for my 04 coupe. Same question as to how much will one go for? Thanks for any info guys!

Hey guys my 04 coupe was running rich (very bad mpg and lots of carbon coming from exhaust) when I bought it, so I did an oil change and the problem was the air filter so I changed that, now the mpg is better but there is still carbon coming from exhaust also I checked my oil level and saw that it was half...how can it go to half after 300-400 kilometers? and also the exhaust still has a lot of carbon in it, I clean the tips and go for a drive and come back and they are black again. When I did the oil change (amsoil 5w30) I did not do a flush, so I still had some old dirty oil in it, could this be the problem? what can I do to fix this oil burn issue?

Thanks

Are you waiting 20-30 minutes after the engine is off before checking the oil?

Use 20w50. Either way there's no wayto stop it unless you get new rings. Wasn't this a recall?
