Got 19" Rays today!

I'm thinking bout just storing them till I drop my non-sport suspension sedan. I have a feeling If I put them on my "G" it will look like a monster truck. I also could be completly wrong! What do you guys suggest I do?

Still looks clean but would be better when you lower.

Its up to you man. I ran my Coupe 19s for a couple months before I dropped my car on Eibach Pro Kit Springs. Couldn't stand the 4 x4 look so I went with a mild drop (now I'm sittin' looooow) It looks 100x better with a mild drop.

Do the drop at the same time, you'll thank yourself in the morning.

BTW, Marcus, you are a picture ***** (but you're soooo good at it! haha!)

I think it still looks good not dropped. Obviously dropped is better, but I wouldn't have a problem not lowering my car with those rims.

I plan on picking up a set and have no intention of ever dropping my car, so good to see it still looks decent.

Although I agree that a drop looks great, there are some of us that bought an x to get us through the winter (I'm in Canada). Since I need all of the clearance that I can get in the winter, I have no option other than to keep the stock suspension.

Personally I still think that the car looks good with the 19" coupe Rays and stock suspension. Here are a couple of pictures of my 2006 G35x.

Thats good to see. I want to get Rays for my X and probably wont lower it because all the stupid rain gutters and of the snow we get here. I think it still looks good without a drop. Personally, i dislike the slammed look, but half an inch to an inch wouldnt be too bad.

I know it's a shamless plug, but this can really help you out!

That's my reasoning as well since i've regularly driven in snow deep enough that my front bumper actually pushes through it.

Kinda why i didn't get an OEM front lip either
