This thread inspired me to pick up a set this weekend. What tires sizes is best? For a clean flush look?

Im running the stock sizes with Z springs F and R


F- 225/45/19
R-245/40/19

Not many selections though in these sizes. I thought Potenza Re760 Sports were a good tire, Now im running Pilot Super Sports and am happy with them.

a 235/35
255/35 might be a good option but do your research on the tire guide thing.

Dont fall for that 275/35 **** for the rear.

I still have thoughts of painting these GTR gunmetal.

glad to see the drop on this car. my plan is to use the z/g combo drop. your drop looks good. i just wanna make the drop nice and even. from what i've read i'll wanna end up going lower after the drop and coilovers would be my best bet but, i don't wanna get that low for a daily driver.

also, is it possible to powdercoat wheels the same color as the oem wheel color? i like the slightly darker colored silver tone of the oem wheels. i think the g37 wheels would look better alittle darker on my IP sedan.

I had the Z/G combo and it gave my car a bit of a nose down drag racer look which i didnt like so i put revised Z springs in the rear to level it out which also have the higher spring rate. I recommend going this route

If your now having naughty thoughts of going lower i would just save for coil-overs. Save you time and $$ in the long run. In the future im going with Tanabe Pro-Five coils you cant really see in the pic but i have a good inch at least of fender gap.

You can get Tanabe Pro-0c for a good price. Or H&R springs offer a bit better drop


I would paint rather powder coat because the color selection of powder-coating is shitty and people that do it think they are god and want a arm and a leg to do it. Paint is stronger than most people think and you can get just what you want for 200 bucks. Some ********* here quoted me 800 bucks to powdercoat my wheels.

I want something more aggressive than the ionic lip. I'm just having trouble deciding which exterior combo will look best with the g37 wheels and my DG.

option 1: kurookie/nisrookie/nismo rear lip

option 2: hikkatadori front/hikkatadori sides/nismo rear lip

option 3: ionic lip/nismo sides/nismo rear lip



edit: bought the kurookie front/side and the nismo rear lip. should look great with the g37s wheels
