Even if they are balanced to 0 they can still cause vibrations....

Has anyone plugged in an OBD2 scanner and watched the temperature reading to know what our cars normally run?

Shocks

I have a g35 coupe with 20x8.5 lexani LX-7 rims and 245/35 tires. I just wanted to know if I wanted to change my shocks would there be any rubbing issues and what shocks would you recommend?
Thanks

^Yeah, if you're driving your car tomorrow, or if you have already done this in the past and can comment... what is the average range of temperatures reported by the computer, once you're up to temp? Idling and on hwy if you can manage it.

Shocks as in just shocks? Or full coilover setup.

I doubt you would rub with 20x8.5. Pics of the car.

what wattage bulbs are you using and it could be the projectors themselves. might not have the proper cut off for the light glare
