My 04 sedan with G37 18's

Just thought I'd share. This is the staggered setup with 18x8 in front and 18x8.5 in back. I bought these with the tires; the 245/45/18's in back sometimes rub on super-heavy bumps, so I'll probably replace those when they wear down. Notice how far the backs stick out--just a tad past the fender. And no, I'm not gonna drop the car--have kids to tote around.

Thanks. I like the look. Slammin' it might bring too many complaints from the wife and kids.

They look GREAT from the sides - OEM but kinda not, very classy. Too bad about the 'poke' in the rear (no homo), IMO it would work great with four fronts.

FWIW, I don't get any complaints from the wife & kids about riding on Z/coupe springs. A mild drop like that would improve the look a lot, but probably worsen your rubbing issues. Fender roll time?

WHAT!? I ran 265/40 on 18x8.5 without a drop and it doesn't rub...

only when i lowered it with Z springs it rubbed with 200lbs in the back only on the pass side. I switched with up coilovers and no more rubbing.


the wheels look nice and works with the car.

Nice to see more modded sedan around chicago on the boards.

looks good but if you do any heavy body mods in the future they're gonna have to go (too mild)

He's running a 45 on a thinner tread width, pushes the tires up^

Offset probably has something to do with it. These are G37 Coupe offsets (not sure of exact measurement).
