Wheel Question, please help....
I've been looking at some of the Sedans with staggered wheels and I must say very VIPish and sexy. What I would like to know being an 06 Sedan owner, is this.... is staggered an issue with the Sedans? I know I've scene many enthusiast with the staggered wheel set up but is there a process into securing the fitment or is it as easy as bolting on an going? I would like as much viable info that everyone can share. This is my first G and I wanna do things right so when people see it there thought would be "Damn that's HOT" .
Sugeestions or info based on personal experience is very much accepted. I would like to know if I go with 19in staggered would I have to roll the fenders, will they rub, do I need a camber kit, etc etc. I do know what I like and want, the Sedan is Blk on blk and so I would like to go with some blk rims with a chrome lip. I want to murder the car out but still retain some comfort in driving. If I get staggered, would it be wise to go with a smaller tire size? I have an idea of the pros and cons and am willing to make that choice ( even though I live in the city of ****ty road...WooHoo Houston!! ) and be happy with it, but overall I need your input guys...and girls.

Going staggard on a RWD sedan is fine. If you have an X, I don't think you can run staggard since the all wheel drive. However I have seen some staggard rims on X sedans before.
Running staggard of 8.5 in the front and 9.5 is what a LOT of sedan owners get, which I think, is the best staggard setup. However there are 8.5 and 10's in the rears out there too
It is not an issue what so ever (unless you have an x) and will only increase the stability and performance of the car. It will huge turns better and feel more planted to the ground.
Running a staggard fitment is as simple as bolting up any other wheel. However, having a staggard setup will ultimatly cost more in the long run from buying more tires. Reason to that is because you won't be able to rotate the wheels/tires all around the car. Just the fronts can switch with eachother and same for the rears. So you won't get as much travel with the tires as you would if you had the same width all the way around.
Only way you would have to roll fenders is if you drop the car. Dropping it to an inch or less, you will usually not need to roll the fender unless you have a 45+ series tires on there. However, if you have 19's you shouldn't be running such a thick tire anyway.
Only time you would need to roll your fenders is if you drop below 1" and would also intoduce camber problems, which you would need to get camber kits to get the camber back into OEM specs to prolong tire wear
If you run a staggard setup of 19x8.5 and 9.5 go with a 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 tire. It's what most people run on staggard set ups.
Hope this helped somewhat

lol. rims can make or break a car.. same with lowering. Trust me I planned on not lowering but eventually the gap killed me and had to pick up some springs and suspension to lower a bit
I wouldn't say you only need a camber kit and rolled fenders if you drop over an inch. Some people need to roll the rear fenders because of a thicker tire or they get some rubbage on tight turns or bumps. But you have to remember, EVERYbody's car is different. Not all drops are exactly the same, not all camber is the same. You got to try it all out first and see what you got and then go from there
The 19's can fill up the wheel well, but it's mainly the tire that fills it up. If you don't plan on lowering and going with a 19 staggard set up, go with a 40 series tire to fill the gap up some more. If you plan on lowering get 35 series tires
If you want to be safe and lower it... go with what MANY of us sedan guys go with, including myself. Some 350z suspension and springs with g35 coupe springs in the rear. It gives it a nice 1" drop in the front and .75" drop in the back and in my eyes, is PERFECT for a drop begginner. It gives it added performance with not as much sway on S turns and has a sportier feel to it. Also it gives a noticable aggressive stance
