They will be tucked in a little. With a 7.5" I would go for an offset in the 32-35 range.


I would go with the 8.5" with the +38 or +43.

your photoshop looks more like the 19-20 range the 18s will not look anywhere near as aggressive asthat...

I like these wheels a lot, especially the black with chrome lip model.
They are relatively cheap too.

It's a pity they don't come in anything bigger than 18"

the one thing i have to add....
BS is a tough car for "similar" colored wheels.
i got lucky and my painted rims look VERY close to the BS color so it looks good. i've seen others where the color is similar but not right....
BS is a tough color if you ask me to have a silver rim on

look at my cardomain you will see my 20s zenetti on my G

then look at my OEM 18s... those 5zigens have a small lip so will look smaller than normal.

18's aren't THAT small. If you're going for a more sporty look and want a lighter wheel for slightly better performance, then I'd go for it.

These are kind of similar, and they're 18's. The front bumper in the pic below is a little too much for me, but thats just me.

Size: 18x8.5
Offset: +45
Bore: 66mm
Color: Silver

Thats rijen1013 's car. I think he's lowered on Tanabe DF210.



"The Tanabe Sustec DF210 coil spring offers a large drop, while retaining superb ride quality characteristics. The spring rate is raised 10-15% to compensate for the shortened amount of suspension travel, without over stiffening the spring rate and affecting ride quality and shock lifespan.

The Tanabe Sustec DF210 is unique in that it provides an excellent range of benefits, from it's extremely low stance, to performance and comfort. Overall, the Tanabe Sustec DF210 is extremely well balanced for those looking to lower their car, increase handling potential, and comfort. For those who want the lowest drop."



Gsedan35 has them listed as:

Tanabe DF210 G35 SEDAN progressive springs 1.7”/1.5” drop on G35 sedan
Spring rates in LBS 286/280
Softer then oem springs by F-9% R-18%

Tanabe DF210 G35 COUPE progressive springs 1.7”/1.3” drop on G35 coupe, G35 sedan drop will be higher
Spring rates in LBS 308/353
Stiffer or softer then oem springs by F-2% R+3% (see note at top)
