Plans for wheels?

IDK guys you gotta remember these are the coils that just came out for the X, so they arent quite the same as the RWD, and im positive they are maxed out because i took the fronts OFF the car, and spun it all the way in, so they are maxed out.

You really think it doesnt look even? I lowered the front more because i felt the back was a tad lower than the front....which it was a half inch lower. Now my front and rear, from the ground the aprox the middle of my fender is 25inches

As for wheels, i saw pics of stromtroppas(prolly not spelt right) and loved how the 350z anniversery rims looked, so im driving out 2 hours on wensday to pick up a set that only has 12k on the rims and tires :]

Also i dont know much about but offsets but i asked stormtroppa if he was usuing spacers and he said no and they still looked pretty flush...flush enough for me that is ahah.

Just trying to give it a clean look without spending a fortune on rims since im only 18 and work my *** off for pennies :/ (which is why im staying in school haha)

Not knowing what your camber it at, but given your ride height, I would suggest adding spacers. I'm not sure how aggressive of you want to go but I would do a 15 or 20mm spacer up front and a 10 or 15mm out back to get them flush. If you are running more camber you can go with a larger spacer. If your camber is closer to being within spec then you'll have to run a smaller spacer.

I'm deffinitly going to try and keep put my camber a close to stock as possible, just for my tires (and pockets) sake. And it doesnt have to be the most agressive set up but still want it more agressive than what i have, first time even getting rims for a car, so im going to have to experiment from now on in.

^Ok, if that's the case then I would try 10mm spacer F/R. I ran 5mm F/10mm R spacers when I had Coupe 19s (same widths/offsets as your wheels) and my camber was within spec (at least out back). I think you can do 10mm up front though because you will have a 225 tire and I had a 245 up front.

Just get quality hubcentric spacers and you'll be fine. Been running spacers for more than a year now, no issues here.
