I have an 05 Coupe with Sport Suspension (19" Rays) that I daily drive. I've been having some issues with inner tire wear so I got the car aligned today. Can someone look this over and tell me if I need to take it back and get anything adjusted? Any help is appreciated!

I'm currently on 19" wheels, with a kuruma front and lowered on 350z h-techs

Will I be able to put my OEM 17"s back on for winter and have enough clearance or will I be way too low for snow? Would I be better off just getting snow tires and running the same rims all year?

Never trust your tire shop unless the guy is 50+ years old.
lol he has an 05 g coupe dropped with Axis wheels, i found out today. Can't believe he doesn't know there is an XS model. lol

I had to buy new tires today. Caught a nail the other night and it blew through the sidewall. At least all of my road noise is gone from the HORRIBLE sumitos that were on it.

Try and get that toe in a little more, the camber isn't too bad as long as the toe is in spec.

You'll be fine, you're not that low.

Pick one as the tire size will differ with offset choice. Are you dropped?

Yes and no, I'm runnin -5 degrees of camber and I got my toe back in on stock bolts. Other can't get theirs in running -1 degree of camber. If you're worried get it aligned and if it needs it buy it...

Keep an eye on the marketplace because you won't find any decent wheels for $1500 with tires new.

Thank you for taking the time to look at that, I'll take it over and have them adjust the toe as close to 0 as possible.

Need wheel/tire advice

I have a 2004 G35 coupe, premium package, Brembo brakes
I am thinking about getting some new wheels and tires and am considering the vertini magics. I like these wheels because of the concave look and the chrome lip. I want to make sure I get the right wheel specs/offsets to achieve the staggered look that I am interested in. I've seen pics of the wheels on other cars and they had the wrong specs and the wheels did not really look concave and there wasn't really a fat lip in the back either.

Here is what I am thinking about getting:
Front Wheel Size (include offset): 20x9+20
Rear Wheel Size (include offset): 20x10+25
Front Tire Size: 245/35/20
Rear Tire Size: 275/30/20
Front and rear spacer size: None currently
Suspension type: currently stock
Alignment info: Need help
Fender roll required: ???

Other questions:
- Will I need to drop my car for it to look right or will stock suspension look ok? If a drop is recommended, any specific brand recommended?
- Will the tize size listed above have be stretched on the wheels size
- Will tires rub with this size? Will I need to roll fenders?
- I have also had problems with the inside of my stock front tires prematurely wearing with the stock alignment. Any alignment recommendations to avoid the premature wear?
- Any opinions on going with 20s versus 19s?
- Any tire brand recommendations that are that will last long and arent too expensive?

any advice would be greatly appreciated

Would 19x9.5 +38 wheels fit on an 04 Sedan? What would be needed to make these wheels fit? I am lowered on BC Racing BR series coilovers.
Thanks for the help!
