Yeah I hear you Jason, he told me he would get me "taken care of" but I just got tired of waited and just did it.

I am happy that I did too. I will PM you what I am thinking for the wheels and can take some pictures over the weekend if you are interested.

Post some pictures with it on the car at least, so we can "ooh" and "aah" at it before you go all conservative on us.



j/k, but do please post some photos.

haha I will be sure to post up some pics just waiting on the spacer to come in for the front wheels. I am going to at least wait until I get my alignment next week before I make my final choice about selling or not. Really don't want to sell as I love the design of the wheels and of course inexpensive forged Rays.

Maybe if I play around with the camber a little more it won't be as bad..

Five day update:

I wanted to hold off a little while about my impressions on the new setup until I was able to put some more miles on them. I also drove through some less then wonderful roads this morning so I got a good feel of the comfort levels.

To start I can only compare this to the Stock setup vs. Eibach/Tokico HP because they were installed together. As some of you may know I was very worried about bouncing with the springs. Honestly, I believe that with the Tokicos it is just as stable or a little bit better then stock. In the corners it feels more balanced and flat, keep in mind I haven't done any track driving so I can't give the impressions off the street. However I would expect coils to outperform in that type of setting.

When it comes to comfort.. yeah of course the ride is a lot firmer and you hear more road noise. On normal roads to me a least it doesn't feel much different then stock. I have to say that I was very pleased and surprised about that I was expecting it to ride much harder. However when the roads start to get a little rocky I can feel a big difference over stock, it is less forgiving and it shows.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my choice of the Eibach springs and the Tokico HPs. When it comes to price, performance, and looks I don't think you can go wrong with this combo.

Thanks guys..

I just put up the 370z Rays for sale if anyone is interested.

https://g35driver.com/forums/19-inch...ml#post5771525

They are just too aggressive for my taste but I am sure someone would love to snag them right up.

Looking for some advice from you offset experts. I am looking at a non-staggered set of wheels which are 8.5 +22 but I am concerned they will be just as aggressive as the 370z Rays that I am selling.

The front I am not worried about too much but the rear of the 370z is...

19x10 +30 and the new wheel is 19x8.5 +22

according to this http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp I should have 11mm more room on the outside.

Do you guys think this should be enough to keep my wheel inside the fender if I reduce my rear camber from -2.75 to something like -2.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Mike,

You should be able to run those offsets no problem. Just get smaller tires. Your best bet is to go with 245/35/19's.
