I've only had the car for 3 months and it has 86k on it. I'm sorry, I'm new to the G forum and to auto modification/maintenance in general. The day I get it back from the shop it starts burning oil...I'm beginning to understand the VQ frustrations...
Can you answer my question, though? I've read many posts like yours all over this forum and I've also read countless threads of people satisfied with even coils alone. I just want to know the math, I'm not hovering over the "buy" button. I thought this was the thread for questions, not the thread to get a lecture on the everlong coils vs. coilovers debate.

I didn't reference brands once man. The point of my post is this: if it's not in the budget to get a camber kit, then lowering the car shouldn't be either-regardless if using coils or springs. Why? Well I'll tell you. When you lower the car, and especially without a camber kit, you're setting yourself to go through tires faster, increasing stress on all suspension parts and that's right- it'll cost even more money. Point is, take into account all the factors and even consequences of lowering the car and realize that if not done properly, you will be looking at even more money to fix the issues
Edit. I did reference a brand lol-but I posted not to bash any brand per se but to make the point I did above^^ lol

I just like to write things out on paper first because it helps me prioritize. Like back to what I was saying, that offset/spacer stuff still confuses me somewhat. I mean factor in camber and toe and it's like you gotta roll your fenders if you carry a full 3 passengers (not counting that dude in the trunk...)
I'm just gonna do my research like a real mothatruckin' G and in a couple of weeks I'll have a budget for the parts that are worth what you pay for and won't redestroy my alignment.

Hey everyone. I'm looking to get Varrstoen ES6 and I have 2007 G36 V36 Sedan.
The car is not currently lowered but will be in the near future. Possible Ksport coils or BC (recommendations)?
Front: 19x9.5 +22
Rear: 19x11 +25
Will these sizes fit without major fender work? I'm fine with getting fenders pulled.
Also what kind of tire sizes would be optical for those wheels?
Thanks for the help.

Ummmmmm, no. He's rocking a sedan my brother.
Armis unless you're talking about doing a massive drop with some crazy camber those wheels won't fit. The fronts are better than the rears and are slightly off but the rears are too wide and have a way too low offset to fit. My advice would be to head over to the second gen forum and do some searching before you ask them what they think. Good luck........

So 19x9.5 squared would be fine and +12 for the rear and +22 for the back.
Or the other way around?

I have been going through all the forums to try to figure out what the best looking tire / wheel combo I can put on my 2003 G35 Sedan, im going to keep it stock height and I dont want to roll my fenders or have any rubbing as its my daily driver. I think the staggered setup looks better, but I am open to suggestions as Ive read this can cause issues with the VDC.
I think the safest bet would be 18x8 30mm offset with 245/40 tires however I wonder if I can get a slightly more aggressive look without any rubbing or modificiations, such as maybe a 255/35 all the way around? It is my daily driver but I do plan on attending a track day or two in the future.
Any tips, ideas will be greatly appreciated.
