I am a future G35 sedan owner. That is, depending on what I can learn from you guys. My supercharged 99 Civic Si will be up for sale in about a month. I want a G35 sedan because not many people mod them and I want to have one of the few sexy ones. I had planned on getting 19x8.5 fronts and 19x9.5 rear with a 1 inch drop. Are the rears guaranteed to rub with that setup? I hope you guys can help me.

 

I think if you get a 45mm ofset for the rear, you would be okay. I have a 35MM offset with 9.5" rim and I had to roll the fenders to keep them from rubbing

 

My sedan has 9.5" rears and lowered about 1" in the rear.... no rubbing at all

 

ZXIman, mind if I ask you about your offsets? Great looking car.

Thanks, guys. I suppose the worst that could happen would be to get 8.5 all around.

 

With the set-up you will need +45mm rear and +35 or bigger (+38, +40) fronts. Lots of guys running 9.5 in the rear no problem.

 

If you get +45 mm rears, know tha oyu can't put Tein Coilovers on it, as the tightening 'nut' (or whatever you call it), rubs against the rim.

I have 8.5 +42, 9.5+42, and i am experiencing this problem. Part of the reason could be the fact that I have a bigger than 1" drop, and the wheel is hence pulled in a bit too much... I also have a -2.25 degree camber.

 

What size tires are you guys using?

 

19.9.5 rear with +45 mm offset. Lowered 1.2" 275/30/19. No rubbing whatsoever.

 

Ditto.
