I thought Akebonos come on the new body style?

 

I plan on getting 18s and a 1" spring drop, would I need to get my fenders rolled? idk if tire sizes matter with this but I plan on having them on 255/35's in the rear and 245/35's in the front.

 

Wheel width's and offsets?

 

uhh...

idk, I have very little knowledge with wheels. I kinda understand the point of wheel widths and offsets but I dont even know the G coupes "tolerance"(for lack of better words) when it comes to widths...

I guess my revised question is, at what point do you have to roll your fenders, and why?

and what widths would i need? I know my OEM 17s are 8.5 rear and 8 front, would I need spacers at all? from what I have read i see +33 a lot, i guess thats the offset but why offset wheels? looks? performance? I really wanna learn this stuff but its confusing lol

 

haha yeah I was right there with you a couple years ago, still dont know too much but... Most guys have +33 because they run the stock 19's from the coupes and it's a great offset for our sedans (im about to go pick mine up from the shop, getting my 19's mounted and balanced). As for rolling fenders, you would only need the rears done but its really hard to say without knowing specs. Your OEMs are 8.5 rear 8 front, same as the 19 Rays, but the offsets on the Rays are why they "stick out" more, flush with the fender. Some people will say its for performance, but its really about stance/looks. Just try to get the specs and then come in here and ask, someone will be able to tell you about the roll.

 

these are actually off of a 2008 G37S, so they are much larger than the brembos, figured it might need different lines

 

Those should be Akebono's then... There's prob tons of info about them in G37 forums?

 

yes, it is definitely the akebono kit...I know the kit, i specifically ordered the akebono's, but i just want to know if different brake lines are needed

 

I popped half of the cover off and just squeezed it in

 

 

Oh, didn't read all of your posts, you have the same avatar as the guy who posted between yours, I got confused. My bad, cant help you with your question then.

You have to take the light housing out completely. There's a power wire that you can unplug in the back. Once you have the housing off, you'll see there's a single screw that's holding the cover in place. Unscrew it and you can pry the cover off.

 

besides a bent wheel, what could cause the steerwheel to shake at 40mph+? I do have a slight bend on the outer lip of one of my wheels, but they balance to 0.

 

looks to be so. TY
