Depends on your offsets.

no it won't rub, you'll need to be worried more about being too low. 225s are pretty small.

i have 18x8.5 w/ 245/40 all around slammed to the point if i go any lower id be permanently scraping!

thats what I'm upgrading STANCE with 19s.

I have a 2007 G35x and I'm planning on purchasing a set of WORK VS-XX in 19's. I want the wheels to sit nice and flush with the fenders but not a "hella flush" look. The car is lowered on Eibach springs. What offset and width should I go with for the front and backs? And what tire size? I want a minimum of 2.5- 3.0 in lips.

I see, I think I'll be fine with those specs, SD Genius used same tire widths just a different aspect ratio (40) front and rear on his wife's sedan, paired along eibach prokit front rear and it looks fine. Thanks for the input

5MM Spacers

What up guys. I have a dilema. I want to put some 5mm spacers front and back on my 03 g35. My issue is that i am not sure whether i need longer studs or not. I have had many different responses. I dont know what to think anymore.

most companies who sell spacers say anything over 3mm need extended studs.

edit: blain, when you see this. your recent pics look like your wheels still poke a lot at your drive height...but, do they still tuck in the fenders on huge dips? your ride can't possibly be that stiff...

edit2: also, you happen to have any saved pics of jeff's 225/245/30 stretch, or any really? google images and rimtuck were all mislabeled and couldn't find anything. I think that's what I'd move to when I get bags.

What about if I want more of a square set up with 18x10.5+20 all around, with a really light stretch?

Most likely not.

My rear is 18x8.5 +33 265/40/18 lowered down to about 1.5 finger gaps, i had to roll the rears if people was in the car. But after the ROLL, no issues period, i've actually went down to 1 finger gap now.

First question, Bump stops!

I'll have to fig up some photos but if you take a look at Jeff's Stance Nation feature those are all pretty high res.
