well well i recently bought as new set of coupe wheels for my sedan. ive decided to start my own thread on this because the answers im looking for seem kind of scattered and i keep losing them! i wanted to get some feedback from some other sedan drivers with the forged (coupe) wheels. i currently have a set of tein h techs i believe which lower my front 1.3/rear 0.7. the problem im having is some serious rubbing in the rear only when i have 3+ people in my car. i know its b/c of the rear forged wheels so ive thought up a few solutions...
1) putting my oem rear springs back on since the drop was only .7 i think this would solve it?

2) someone told me the x springs will lower my g .5 instead of .7? i still wouldnt doubt if my rears still rubbed though? also would getting a stiffer strut help out lets say from g35x as well or coupes? tokico?

3) replacing my rear oem tire size 245/40/19 to 245/35/19? but i think they are size 40 for a reason maybe it smoothens things up??

4) getting another pair of FRONT coupe wheels and putting them on so they are all the same size lOL ??

5) and of course ROLLING MY FENDERS but i dont think it would clear still? those rear wheels on the coupes are chunkier than i thought!

dont kill me

 

did you install a wheel spacer ??

 

Rolling the fenders and getting a less wider tire (235/45) might solve your problem.

 

I have shaved my rear fender with s-tech drop and coupe wheels and i have no problem at all. about 1/4 inch of the tire is under my rear 1/4 panel and still no rubbing what so ever. Best solution is roll/shave the fenders and problem is solved.
Here is a pic.

 

definately no spacer installed?

maybe a 235/35 instead of the 235/45?? that possible?

 

I plan to go with 255s or 265/30/19 on my next set of tires.

 

man thats silly 255!? you have to rub when theres people in the back?? how much do s techs lower front/rear?

 

my rear tires seem to pop out the sides this why i dont think rolling my fenders wil solve this?

 

As i said earlier if u shave the fenders there will be more room than u expected. With 5 people in the car and going into turns there is no rubbing what so ever. There is 1/4 of my rear tire that is under the panel and no rubbing!

 

yo klubbs u got the 350 struts!?? are those more compatibel with the lower stance of our g's?

 

Last time i checked infiniti didnt change the rear 1/4 panel on 05s right?

 

thats gangsta! i def need some sways and def need my fenders rolled now...know of any great south fla locations? =)

 

well the stock z-springs lower the G sedan about an inch. I have 1.7 lowered in the front wich is .7 difference from the z and 1.4 in the back wich is .4 difference and the s-techs spring rates are not that much stiffer than OEM z springs so i think shocks should handle the drop fine.

 

ok b4 anyone tries me or calls me retarded its compatable....

pretty sure the 1/4 panels are the same

and are those the revised z struts?

 

it was off of 2004 350z touring.

FYI I also have about -1.8 camber in the back, but even with 0 to -0.8 camber u shouldn't have any rubbing issues if the fenders are shaved.
