2 for 1, Wheel Size and best drop?!
Hi, as you can see, Im new here.
And I ask noob questions. I've done a research for tire and wheel size but I can't find the correct awnser. Maybe I will help other with my questions.
so here:
I need new tires for my 2003 G35 and I'm thinking to change the stock wheel as well, I would like to go with 18'' inch wheel.
I don't know what is the best, have all same size all around or get a bigger on the rear. ?! I want large tire, more then the 215 stock but I don,t want to roll my fender. I would like to know what is the best size of the wheel including offset and tire spec. If I get better control with large tire on the rear, I would like a setup that give me a large lip distance like I can see on some picture (Wheel look like deeper) It look very nice!![Smilie](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
My other question is the drop. I've change for this car (g35) to get a comfortable car. my last car was dropped with Tanabe GF210 and I was very disappointed. It handle like a go-kart but every hole on the road was a nightmare. I've look on my G35 and look like I have sport shock (red one). As I can see tien H-tech give a small drop and keep ride quality as original.
Again, I don't want to buy a camber kit, I want it simple. If I play with ride comfort I will stay stock, but I would like to remove the big gap between fender and wheel just a little bit.
Sorry for my bad english, and I hope someone can understand what I'm asking![Wink](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Thank you.

For the price, I don't have alot of money to spend on that. for the wheel I'll take no name brand to save money, and for the drop, I was thinking on only spring option, I don't have the money to spend on a 800$ coilover kit like tein basic. I want a nice look for a cheap price
.
I know is hard to find quality a small price but with my experience with my last car, I was able to make something good for low price.

Here are some wheels that are staggard and less than 1K they are 19" which I think will help get rid of some of your wheel gap and would look great with a set of 350z springs

I've done a research on 350z Spring, as I can understand the best for the Sport shock sedan is the unrevised version on z spring. But, what is the exact drop. 1'' front 3/4'' rear or 1'' front and 1'' rear ?!
I don't want to go lower because here in Quebec We have alot of Crapy road. and I don,t want to feel it more. For the moment it's perfect with stock setup, but with the Z spring does it lower dramatically the comfort?

Here are the measurements:

Comfort level is unchanged. A z spring drop is about as mild as they come. Unrevised z springs have the same spring rate as the sedan sports suspension.
