nice setup. aggressive offsets and that rear lip! I don't believe the pictures do it justice. You had to roll your fenders though right? (at least the rears?) How much did your suspension setup lower the car?

the 30 series on a 275 are not like rubber bands. They actually have pretty good sidewall height. if you dip into the 2x series tires, now those look like rubber band on 20's.

You have such wide rims front and rear, why not the 255/285 setup? Will that setup rub?

Congrats on your new wheels.

Nice job!

Yeah, its funny how different people say different things. You figure the guys you're buying from are in the industry and should know their stuff, but a lot of them are no more knowledgeable than you or me. I've had shops tell me that 19's rolling on 255/285 will rub and i will have to roll fenders w/ stock suspension. That's on a +26 offset. Maybe a way to make money on the services?

No fender rolling at all. I am on an Eibach Pro Kit (350Z model), with Tokico D-Specs. I also purchased the SPC camber arms and toe bolts for the rears. I don't think that 255/285 would rub either I just wanted a little more of that stretched tire look, plus from looking on these forums and everything that is what most people go with. The springs lowered the car about 1.25" front and 1.20" rear, the springs are the 350Z model so the car is lower than going with the Eibach's for the G35.

Have you had 4 people in the car yet??? Do you think it would rub with 4 people?

Do you think the stock shocks could handle those springs???

Yeah I have had four people and a full tank of gas, still no rubbing, went on about an 120 mile road trip this weekend, car rides like a Cadillac. Yes the stock shocks could handle the springs, I would recommend getting something aftermarket though. Much improved handling yes, with absolutely no compromise in ride quality, I have had everything from a Integra to a Lexus IS300 and nothing rides better than my car now!
