#2356
Hello ladies and gents. My first post ever on g35driver and excited to be a part of the G community. Only natural that i have some newb ?uestions.
Purchased an 07 g35 ob coupe w 20 inch (basic stock offsets) enkei rims over a year ago and have been hit with the mod bug. It all started out with a co-worker who sold me his black AME Circlar Spec-r:
Front 19x9 +10 (w/ the two tires 245/35-19)
Rear 19x10 +0 (w no tires) for $1000.00. Had the rims on his Z for about 4 months and maintained them well.
So my question is did i downgrade from 20 to 19?
Did i get ripped off for the price i paid for them?
What tires do you recommend for the rears (and fronts, maybe ill change them out)?
To drop or not to drop (coilovers, springs, how low, etc.)?
WIll i need to roll the fenders?
Thanks in advance!

It can. Search on here and you will find a lot of info regarding staggered set-ups on the X. Just keep the overall diameter of the front wheels and rear wheels close (ideally the same) and you will be fine. A lot of people with the X run a staggered set-up. 255/35/19 rear and 225/40/19 front would be an example of a common size that works.

There are adapters out there, but they are thick so you would need to find a set of wheels with a high offset or go agressive on the stance. I think the spacers are 30+mm. I have heard of some people having their wheels re-drilled, but I dont have any info on that for you.

Hey guys, I installed my Rear SPC camber kit and now it looks like I need a "Toe Rear Arm Kit"
Does anyone sell anything like that? After installing my camber kit, my rear wheels are tilting inward on the top only..
it's weird and the guy who installed it says I will need a Toe Rear Arm Kit or something like. Please let me know if you can help me or help point me in the right direction. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!!

No, that is a very good deal for great wheels. AME is not a shitty company they make fantastic wheels.
275/30 would be best in the rear.
Always to drop, coils are highly recommend as you ALWAYS want to go lower as soon as you get your springs in. So do it right the first time and buy coils.
yes roll the fenders and lower the car before mounting these wheels.

2. Are you lowered?
3. Do you have access to a someone to roll your fenders
4.Google offset if you come back and tell me you don't know I will explain....

What you need are toe BOLTS. Unless you are running a true coil set up then toe arms are non existent in the rear and and can only be adjusted by the toe bolt. Your SPC rear camber kit should have come with toe bolts, contact the vendor you bought them. (you could have just bought the camber kit but they usually recommend it anyways)
But still, get someone else to do your alignment, because I am running almost -5 degrees of camber on stock arms and camber bolts and my toe is in spec.

Do you know what is aggressive for the sedan? Pretty much the same sort of specs for the W212. I'm unsure of the inner strut clearance though, Like I don't know if you'll be able to run a 12" +20 wheel without rubbing the strut. But if you don't plan to go hella wide then don't worry about it.

I would say an upgrade if anything, 20s are too big for the car IMO.

yes roll the fenders and lower the car before mounting these wheels.
You just need to keep the tire sizes within 3% of each other front to back and as close to OEM size as you can.
Wouldn't that be nice? lol
Smallest adapater you can get is 15mm, so if you have 15mm to spare the wheels will work, if you don't then you can't run those wheels unless they use a closed center cap that encloses all the lug holes, then they can be sleeved and redrilled.
1. Why those tire sizes?
2. Are you lowered?
3. Do you have access to a someone to roll your fenders
4.Google offset if you come back and tell me you don't know I will explain....
My buddy has one, quote yourself and me in like a day and I will let you know.
The guy who installed it should probably stay away from your alignment next time.

Still need spacer advice. 19x9.5 wheels, +22 offset all around. Fenders all have a mild roll, and not sure about what camber i'm currently running. Will be dropping on 350z h-techs in a week or so.
