SRRY IF ITS STUPID but i know nothing about this subject. i recently picked up tokico D-specs w/ tein s-tech springs for a 350z. considering i have a g35 the drop should b lower than on a Z. the rims i want to put on are 19x9.5 +17, 19x10.5 +22. so my question is, has anyone done somthing similar and could tell me wat to expect? ie do i gotta rollin fenders, stretch tire, +/-camber...etc. AGAIN im srry if its stupid and i appreciate all the help.

First thing, what size tires do you plan to run?

Those specs are a pretty common set up.

The Z s-techs will drop you roughly a half inch lower than what Tein says they will drop the Z. (For example, if the box says drops the Z 1.5" expect a 2" drop)

For that set up, I recommend a rear camber kit to bring the rear camber in spec and then 245/35 (front) and 285/30(rear) tires. Rears I would recommend rolling but you could get away without rolling them if you let the camber go naturally and not adjust it into spec.

And this is the place for the "stupid" questions. I'd rather help you in here than for you to make a new thread asking the questions.

Got a question. What's the general consensus on wheel spacers? Good? Bad? The main reason I want to get new wheels is just so I can have a smaller offset thus making the wheels flush with the body, but that means 1000-2000$ in wheels just for looks.

If wheel spacers aren't that bad for the car, I may get some and just get the stock wheels painted black.

Are the specs missing on the ASAs? Or am I just not seeing them somewhere.

The TSW come in a nifty 9.5 rear which is nice.

I'd go with the TSW, slightly lower offset and better specs. TSW are higher quality wheels as well.

I've done a lot of searching and using offset calculators but am having difficulty making a determination on this.

The setup:
F: 18"x8" +35, 225/50/18
R: 18"x9" +30, 245/45/18

The question:
Will the rear poke past the fender and/or rub?

Nope, you'll be nice and flush and problem free.

But I would suggest doing 225/45 and 245/45 (which is OEM sizing)
