thanks man! i contacted him and he gave me a $80 quote to roll rears. the only thing is i have to drive 2 hours to get there lol i appreciate it!

the only thing that bothered me about ohella's fzero blue te37s was the front looked so much wider than the rears for some reason

His camber is about -3 if I recall and he had some room to play with the 235/35 (it was a test fit)

Therefore, you should be ok with the 275/30, -3 and go the rest of the way with fender work.
Thanks for that, I thought 275s wouldn't be too bad considering some of the guys are running 255s and 265s on 12. Hope to get away with -3.5 or -4 camber. Little poke is alright, but want 275s as a minimum. I did have a look through the thread but only found a few guys running 12" widths. I know the fronts will fit but just want to confirm anyway. They will be 20x10.5 +12 and probably going 245/35s

All three are good choices, if you're going for a dedicated summer. Everyone on here seems to love the Hankook Ventus V12. They are priced well and are petty solid tires.

Bilsstein PSS10: 370 Front and 280(I think)-420 Progressive rear

and

Tein Comfort Sport: 390 Front and rear
Ok, you got them mixed up with spring rates in metric and imperial.

You said 5k they are actually 7k! The 392 is the spring rate in lb/inch and the 7kg is kg/mm

That's why I tripped when you said they were 5K, 5k would be a really loose and bouncy ride.

I know the rears are going to tuck because as of right now i have 1 finger gap with -1 camber in the rear ( I set it like that when i had oem wheels). Now that i'm gonna go lower, i plan to set my camber a little more negative like at -2. My question is how many mm spacers should i get for the rear to flush it... also what negative camber do you suggest? Thanks.
If you go to -2 camber you can probably run a 15-20mm spacer as long as your fenders are rolled properly.

You definitely need to roll your fenders though.

Nissan hub bore is 66.1mm

Axis penta hub bore is 73.1

So you'll need a 66.1 - 73.1 hub ring, they can be had on ebay for like $10 (for four) or like $20 if you go to a tire shop.

Agreed, not sure why that was.

The front will be fine.

What wheels did you pick anyways?

Ya, what i mean was stock springs of tein cs is 7k while they give me an option to go 5k without revalving! Theres a member on here that says that on stock it comes close to oem in terms of ride comfort so i was thinking of getting lower spring rate springs! Would going 6k still be unadvisable?

I personally would not go any lower than 7k, if you get even remotely flush you run the risk of eating a fender with that soft of springs. (unless you run some negative camber)

I don't think you'll be unhappy with the ride quality with the 7ks.

Lol true that! Adding 15mm spacers to the rear.. putting the offset at +8 with 275/35 tires is not considered more aggressive right?

Do u have any coilover recommendations? Most comfortable coils in the market right now so to speak other than tien cs and bilstein pss9/10? Looking currently for the best bang for the buck and im not planning to probably lower more than 1.5

BC Racing is typically best bang for your buck in general but Stance is super popular (and super out of stock for a lot of people too unfortunately...).

4DGS may have some other suggestions as well depends on how comfortable you really need/want it to be. PSS10 would be my choice if I had the cash. I'm in the market as well but want to get the front and rear camber kits as well (likely SPC or SPL... def not an area I want to cheap out on).

This is why I am making that coilover thread haha.

Check that out in the suspension area. There are quick reviews on several of the well known coilovers, but it just started so it's still growing.

I suggest SMA, mine have been great and ride amazing. Only reason I'm going to stance is because they didn't go low enough for me.

SPC not recommend, they tend to knock and make noise if you got fairly low.
