I have a stock 03 G35 sedan. I was thinking of getting a set of xxr 521 in 18x10 offset 25. My idea was to have a h tech setup because its a daily driver. Is that going to fit right?

No. You'll need the 18x8.5 +20

I have the 521's in 18x10 +25 all around with 215/45F 225/45R tires and 10mm spacers all around (so +15 effectively) I'm lowered 4" with -2.5/-3 camber.



You'd have to run a 245/40/18 which is still a decent stretch on the 18x10 and they'd stick out of your fenders about 2"

^ +1 if you want to run 10s with only a mild drop look for the offsets to be in and around 40mm.

My eyes crossed looking for this one, what's the lowest offset to clear the stock brembo's on say an 18x9/18x10 setup on a coupe the end result being a track stance. Danke

Yea that's what I thought too but just wanted to confirm. Thanks guys.

So would a 18x8.75 +20 work just fine or still too much of a poke?

There is no offset that clears brakes. Only a pad size.

What wheels are you looking at?

Honestly looking for a guy who just bought his G35 a few days ago, just trying to give him a general layout to look at, not sure what wheels or what kind of budget he's gonna sport. +1 on pad size tho, I should have thought of that but I've never been in the racing mindset with this car myself Danke

Just post wheels up in here and I'll tell if they fit.

Most manufacture can tell you though.

I am thinking of running 245/40 (R) and 235/40 (F) on my stock sport sedan 18s. Good idea? They are currently 235/45s all around. What do you guys recommend? I want wider tires in the rear without going too much out of spec. THANKS

Why do you want to stagger such small tires?

OEM sizing on a coupe is 225/45 front and 245/40 rear. You could do that and be perfectly in spec.

Or you could buy coupe wheels and go to a 255 rear.

What kinda drop is that like 2" and 1.5"?

Your going to want a spacer up front since the rear is waaaay more aggressive than the front. I recommend a 10 or 15mm spacer.

Tires, Front: 235/40 Rear, 265/35

I also recommend buying coils and going lower, you're working with weird widths and offsets that don't match at all. Did you by any chance buy these wheels off someone with an MK4 Supra?
