spacer question
so currently running g35 sedan sport rims 2nd gen, the offset is
Front: +45
rear: +50
if i want the coupe offset i would need 15mm front and 20 mm rear correct? any other tools i may need when getting spacers?
also, would this be my better choice or should i have my tires a little more in?
Front: +45

You must also consider the widths of the wheels when doing this calculation.
The 2nd Gen Sedan wheels are:
Front: 18x7.5 +45mm offset
Rear: 18x8.5 +50mm offset
The Coupe 19s are:
Front: 19x8 +30
Rear: 19x8.5+33
Fronts are 21mm more agressive, rears are 17mm more agressive. So to get close to the Coupe specs (without exceeding them) you would need to run 20mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers out back.

im talking about the coupe 18s
the offset to my understanding are
18.8 +30 all around
wouldnt it be 20mm in the rear, but what about the front? i doubt it its 15mm

from what i know is u have to take into consideration the front width of the sedan vs coupe
coupe is 18x8 +30 all around so 20mm in the front would fit more flush than 15mm
another member here (kevcog35) is running 20mm all around and this is what he has
this is the specs on his wheels

Front & Rear: 18x7.5 +45mm offset
Front: 18x7.5 +45mm offset
Rear: 18x8.5 +50mm offset

I have the same wheels and am running 235/45/18 tires and 10mm spacers on front, 15mm on rear. When I got the new tires on, the guy accidentally put the 15mm spacers up front and it looked really goofy (not including looking at the rear), but 15mm looked like too much for the front.....?

they seem like they could be poked out a bit more.
