Hello fello G drivers, got an 06 coupe and was looking at es2's, the car came with the sport 19 package, sold those and now has 370z sport wheels, 20mm spacer up front, i want to go down a size to 18s(yes i know there small) but i want the better ride, i have htecs that have yet to be installed which i believe will drop the hieght only an inch all the way around which will be perfect to me, the the stecs were too much of a drop. question is i dont know what et's to go with, i was kinda set on the widths 8.5 front and 9.5 rear, i wanted to do 9.5 front 10.5 rear, but dont know what offsets i need to be flush and if so will i need to do any rolling if i go with the bigger widths, i plan on doing 245 front tires and 275 rear so would they fit better on the smaller widths? ill be honest i dont know squat when it comes to rims and tires help! what width and offsets would i need to look good on Htecs to be flush up to the fenders without spacers and rolling!!! i dont mind doing a little bit of camber and rolling if thats what needs to be done for the bigger width rims, just dont know what offsets i need, i also plan on doing akebono brake kit in the future so hopefully these will clear the calipers, i dont want spacers, thx!!!

 

You're asking a lot, dropping a wheel size and wanting to add a BBK plus lowering your ride too! Lowering springs won't help your ride and down sizing to a smaller wheel diameter won't make that much difference. What condition are your shocks in, that's all part of how your car rides/drives! You can easily run 245's and 275's with the wheels you currently have! Be aware by installing springs you'll also need a camber kit/alignment, make sure that's in your budget too!

Learn the disk size of the wheel
Offsets do not matter in clearing bbk
