2008 g35s lower springs?

i need help figuring out what lowing springs i need to get on my G because im runnning 20's 275 on the backs and my tire sticks on from the fender by .5/1 inch if that... so im looking for springs that will drop it nice and make a flush fit in my fender... and what springs give the best natural camber tuck

I was +27 and I pulled all my fenders to make the rims fit the car. Not to sure about +30 if springs will fix the issue.

Thumbs up

im just guessing dropping it by 1.5 inch and doing a fender roll will make it look tucked in and not scrape when i drop it..as of now my sitting in my trunk drops car by like an inch and fender comes down to the outside of the wheel so just a fender roll will seal the deal... thank you tho

Get some eibach lowering springs. I believe its 1.4 inches in the front and 1.7 in the rear. I could be wrong but I know these springs offer the most minimal drop for our cars.

Might have to get camber arms to give excess negative camber to tuck that much into the fender. FWIW a 10.5 +30 is about 15mm too aggressive, so like you said about 5/8" is outside the fender right now. Springs alone won't get you enough tuck as you'll get camber about -2 to -2.2, to get that much into the fender you'll need camber around -3 I think.

WOW! -3 will eat your tires up for sure. You can alway pay a body shop to pull your fenders out like i did. That will not be a cheap job but if you like your wheels that much it might be an option for you.
