i know this thread is old but, did anyone find out what setup this car is lowered on? looks perfect.

also, what size spacers are used on these wheels for them to sit nice?

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
