Good, just make sure the tire pressure doesn't slip up or they'll bubble.

Roll the fender, don't bother trying to make wheels look good if you won't roll the fenders.

xxX9 +30 and xxX10 +43ish is a good place to start.

But roll the fenders, no point not to.
Is it really necessary? I dont want the wheels to be the point of focus of my car, Im not really into fitment. Id have to go lower and thats not happening, I already scrape getting out of my driveway. I just want a set of wheels that is OEM looking, like a set of M45, 05-06 G or g37 wheels, and preferably staggered because Id like some extra traction. Is there any wheels like that out there that I wont have to modify my car to use?

Of course, I'm just saying you're going to end up rolling your fenders. You'll get tired of them being sunk. You can run any oem wheel without a roll.

You need a 5mm spacer to clear the factory 2-piston brakes. You'll need atleast a 25mm to clear the Ake's

So im going for this setup:
XXR526s 20x9 front and 20x11 rear +15 all around.
Gdup35sedan has helped me figure out what i need to do in order to make these fit:
-Coilovers
-spc rear camber w/toe bolt to get the -5 camber needed to fit rear wheels&tires.
-225/30/20 front tires and 255/30/20 rear tires
I jus placed an order for bc coils with spc rear camber kit w/toe bolt, which are backordered by 2 weeks, so i wont get them maybe until 3 weeks from today.
Any other advice from other members on here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Will I be alright buying just about any 19" rims and putting them on my 2004 G35 Coupe without lowering/rolling/spacers to begin with, and then be able to figure out where I want to go from there later while having a drivable car?

For ex.: Can I fit the VarrsToen the ES 1.1.2 19x9.5 front +22 & 19x11 +25 back without any rolling/spacers/etc?

i just put on some 350z eibach sportlines and the car rides like **** now. the rear end is pretty rough and seems to bottom out.

Are 350z rear shocks shorter then g35? Meaning will they allow more travel with my shorter springs?

Also the rears are progressive now compared to my s-techs i had on there before. Does anyone know if this will make a difference? I could always put the s-techs back on the rear and mod the spring mount by cutting it down a bit to get the same drop

What are you asking? Why are you stretching, you don't need to with to with those specs.

You should be fine, but you would roll the fenders as 11 +25 is really pushing it with a full size tire.

This is a suspension question.

No, struts are the same length as far as I know.

I need to know the widths and offsets of the wheels in order to know if it will rub.

My front tires are 255/30/20 20X9.5 +15
I rub when im turning and hit a dip or on a driveway

Haven't rolled the front fenders, you guys think if I rolled them I wouldn't rub.
I want to lower my car again, this height is killing me.
And can't afford new tires
