2004 G35 Sedan AWD Agressive Wheel/Tire Specs.
I'm running 10k front 8k rear spring rates and Full hard front dampening and 8 clicks below full hard rear and I am 25" fender to ground rear and 25.25 front.
Measure your fender to ground and tell me your road conditions and some people should chime in on what spring rates to get and what dampening to set to.

Yeah Mike, those don't look like +17 at all. You would be poking a ton given that you aren't running a lot of negative camber. And you should be rubbing with a 255.

most definitely believe you guys... i think these off sets are between +22 to +35... but im not 100%.....
damn i wish i knew my offsets....
would you know if the Xs have the same wheel wells? bc Gtz has +19 in the rear and he tucks pretty good.... that is the only reason why i kinda leaned towards the +17 in the rear bc im pretty flush... plus iiiiiekoiiiii ran 19x10.5+17 in the rear and looks VERY similiar to mine.... but I'm not 100% since you guys know more than me... im honestly just going by what ive found from my research.... check it out..

G35x Aggressive Set Up
ok... sorry it took so long to post my updates, so here it is!! hope this helps...
ok my situation on my SPC front camber arms was that the driver side was fully adjustable, the passenger side wasn't bc when i installed it i didnt set the washer for the camber arm bolts identically with the driver side therefor -1.2 was the most negative i can set the passenger side.. at that point i just decided to match the driver side at -1.2 and call it a day... (<note this was 16 months ago on 18x8.5+35) in the rears i have SPC camber arms and toe bolts and set rears at -2.0...
previous specs on 18x8.5+35 all around
Front -1.2
Rear -2.0
took it to a alignment shop that specializes in lowered cars and raised trucks last friday. the front alignment cost was $100 and the rear $100. i wanted to set front at -1.5 and just leave my rears as is, well that was the plan
........ so the technician put it up on the alignment rack to check the alignment and called me out there to take a look at my specs and the specs from before was slightly different... (bc i lowered the car more since the previous alignment) the front was -1.25 and the rears was at -2.2. technician told me that to get the front alignment the way i wanted was going to $250-300 bc of the time it would take to adjust the camber arm washer to replicate the driver side for full adjustability.....
so he recommended to just leave it as is bc $300 for -.25 more difference wouldnt be worth it and wouldnt be vittually noticeable... plus he showed me the specs on my car and its with in the leeway ranged of spec, so it pretty much means my fronts are in spec! the rears was in the leeway range as well!
new specs 19x9.5/19x10.5 offsets unknown
Front -1.25
Rear -2.2
all in all im happy with the outcome bc it was $20 for the alignment, less tire where and its all with in OEM SPECS!!! if i need more camber i would most definitely do it, but its not NEEDED.. if i was RWD i would have a meaner stretch and a bit more aggressive offset... but my build has definitely flipped flopped over the 2 years ive been in the game.... as you can see i have both performance parts and stance mods.... i have an "X" so i have to be some what functional due to the "front crossmember bar" being extremely low! =( so the plan is to have the best of both worlds!! semi stanced with FI!!! hahaha.. stance/performace. i have my stance the way i want it bc thats really the lowest i can go! lol. now im working on more bling and saving up for a vortex sc. heres some pics my homie snapped of my car after going to the alignment shop....

as you can see its pretty damn flush... i wish i was 100% sure about my offsets.... i asked the previous owner owned a coup and hes 90% sure the the offsets are 19x.19.5+22 19x10.5+17. the only thing i can think of is that the AWD has different wheel wells in the rear?? me and two other Xs i know of Gtz and iiiiekoiiiii both ran +17 or close to that in the rear and stance in the rear look very similar...

Looks perfect fellow AWD'r ! Are your fender to grounds almost the exact same still?
I'm trying to decide on wheel setup rite now pretty tough.
Either 19x9.5 +12 or +22 or +30 front and choose any of those 3 offsets for the rear and have similar tires because of awd. What do ya think assuming I want to run similar camber as you.
