Question about 20 inch rims on a lowered G35 Sedan

Hello,

I have a question. I just lowered my sedan with the eibach sportline springs 1.6 Front and Rear. Will the 20 inch rims still fit on my vehicle? and what else would I need to do to make it fit i.e. roll the fenders, what size tires to run staggered and offset? I plan on getting Sevas S7s which have a +40 offset.

Thank You

That is going to be very low and your fronts might rub. Since the eibach 1.1/1.1 kit drops you to just above the top of the tire on 20's you are going to be LOW.

If you got the 10" +40 rears you are going to have to roll your fenders. Tire size 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. Other than that, good luck!

So am I going to have to roll the front also. I already know possible I will have to roll the back if I plan on having people sitting in the backseat.

I am pretty sure the fronts are already roll in, right?

Right, the fronts can't be rolled much more.

Your problem is more that you are going to hit the fender liner and inner fender. I would go with the pro kit.

Im on Tein S tech, which I believe is lower than the Eibachs and I have no rubbing in the front...I did roll the rears but it still looks like I have a bit of room. I dont even rub with the back filled with 3 ppl...

^^^ Same with me but i do rub occasionally in the rear with 3 ppl in the back and my big sub too. but only on speed bumps. And yes the S-Techs are lower than the Eibachs.

you shouldnt have any problems with rubbing. I slammed my sedan on Tein Basics (about a 3" drop up front) with the S7's and only had rubbing going up driveways. Other than that, like Tim said, roll your rear fenders and run 245/35F 275/30R and you'll be all set.
