Yea this is only my 2nd set of wheels and Im not 100% sure what the offsets are but seem to be correct since I test fitted a +12 and had rubbing issues. It could be fitted with camber but I wouldn't know for sure unless I do these calculations or test fit a +17.... The origin owner believes that it was +22 front and +17 rear, but it very well could be the opposite. So, after reading through your theory and from my previous research that the rears will most likely be +22.
Now the question is the first gen Xs have the same clearance in the wheel wells as the RWD?

UPDATES!!!!!
Front: 25 1/8 Damper set at 0
Rear: 25 1/4 Damper set at 8 from Hard
*still need to camber front and maybe keep rear at -2.0





this is the lowest i can go but will not keep this ride height in the front....
will raise it 1/4 of an inch and camber will naturally make it about 1/4 of an inch lower.
CURRENT ride height is too low for me to drive around and under tray scrapes at low speeds....
i think raising it up 1/4 of an inch will fix the scraping and might have to raise it again after cambering...
another this is that some parts of my under tray is loose and hanging lower than the rest and TOLLBOOTHWILLEYS' under tray may fix the scraping issue??
still dont want to take that chance of scraping that as well... will keep you posted on set up... thanks!

I have a tollbooth willeys undertray and it seems to be a bit more snug. Won't give you a ton more clearance or anything but it's definately more solid and will offer more protection.
I am 25" in the rear and 25.5" in the front, I had to also raise the front a tiny bit. Since I've raised the front I very rarely scrape now on my g35x.
Also looking great my friend!
Ps. I see you have the same damper settings as me
The hardest setting in the front definately helps from banging down the frame, which is the only thing that seems to be scraping on my car because y pipe once and a while. Mostly undertray or frame under engine whatever its called

Could you take a pic of your front? I want to see how low it is from your lip to the ground since I have the same lip as yours.

Thanks Cana! Raising front up close to 25 1/4. Ordering tray in process....
Kayvee will post pics tomorrow. But I cant even fit my shoe under the lowest part of the lip... I'm too low for an X.
I really wish I could stay at this setting bc it looks a whole lot better then gaps between my fenders and tires.

Actually I was at 24 1/4 all around before i lowered the front today and it looked good but I couldn't help dropping the front to make it lower than the rear bc I've always been a fan of that look.... Plus with everything even the front always looks higher!
aaahhhhhhh... Too much thinking and not enough action...

What's your tire specs?
Looking at your pics (+17/+19) tucking a lot for those offsets.... Hmmm.. Now Im starting to believe mine are +22/+17. The Xs may be able to fit more agressive offsets than RWD.
