Could I get by Putting the following set up on a 2004 G35 Sedan stock set up

19x9.5,19x10.5 +12

Falken FK452- 225/40/19, 245/40/19

What adjustments do i need to make to look proper

Do i have to buy a camber kit, Spacer etc..

Id like to drop it a tad to get a nice level stance....

Thanks again gents..

 

I'll ask and see what I can do for you!

Front you'll probably want some spacers (especially if you plan to go aggressive in the back)

The back is easy, -2.5 degrees and a 245/35 or 255/35 should do the trick. Just make sure the fenders are 100% flat as they will need to be for that set up.


Build off your current specs, (+12 IIRC?) and just decide how much camber you're willing to run if it's zero, just measure the difference in your current set up and then compensate with some stretch. (you are stretching right)

Drew's numbers are pretty close to what you'll want, I know with the Z right now with large 275 on 10.5 +12 I have probably 4mm of clearance with a flat roll, add 10mm to that and give it say 20mm of stretch (245) and the rear is easily able to do +2

The front is also really easy and fender work is your friend for front fitment. If you go too aggressive it's easy to correct with a very minor unnoticeable pull.

 

You're not going to pull this off if you have to ask. A start would be switching to 225/35 and 245/35, then coilovers, then camber arms for the rear.

The front will fit with natural camber on a 3" drop.

Personally, I'd go with a +22 wheel and roll the rears and natural camber will take care of the rest.

 

Thanks man .. Was actually going to purchase this set up tomorrow... But didn't want to get stuck in a hole.... I'm willing to make the changes but not sure if it's worth it...

 

so I'm looking to run a 255 on a 12 inch wheel . whats a good tire brand for stretching? thanks

 

toyo and hankook v12 evo are a coupe of the most common I've seen around. never seen anyone have a problem beading the evos - relatively cheap too with some performance aspect.

 

I've stopped recommending the hankooks after this past summer.

General Gmaxs seem to be holding up well. But it really depends what you're stretching for. Since all tire run differently... Like a 255/35 Nankang runs like a 245/35 michelin PS2.

What offset are you trying to fit? You may not need such an aggressive stretch,

 

Hey guys, i know this thread is for wheel/tire questions. But i guess my question will fit in here, since its affecting tires.

I went to the tuning company that does suspension. And the guy told me that i will need a radius arm camber and toe for the rear. I did my search on here and found nothing about radius arms once the car is dropped.

So mu questions are: Can i get away with just a camber and a toe adjustments in the rear? Is he trying to just sell the product or do i really nead radius arms? What will it hurt if i will leave oem radius arms?

Thanks

 

im not lowering my G but can i run 285/30/20 xxr 521 20x10.5 in the front without any fender roll

 

The guy is trying to sound smarter than what's really happening.

What you need are rear camber arms and toe bolts. These adjust camber and toe. (camber is the vertical angle in which the wheel will sit) (Toe is basically the horizontal angle they will sit)

Not having these adjustment tools will result in faster tire wear.

What suspension are you running? I would only recommend these products if the car is lowered more than 1.5 inches. If it's a 1" drop then tell him to align it as close to oem as possible.

Let me know and I'll give you some help, if you need the camber arms and toe bolts I can point you in the right direction to get those parts.

It's going to look incredibly stupid, but yes you can, you'll need a spacer for the wheel to clear the strut though. Message Tian as he's running 20x10.5 +25 up front and has it down pretty good.

 

Here is the thing, I'm still on OEM suspension, but I am putting ARK coilovers here in a month or two, on a car. Of course it will be on aftermarket wheels (volk gt-s) with stretched tires. I know I will need a camber and toe adjustments for the drop I am going to use (aprox 2''). I just want to know, if I can take my car to a tire shop and they can align it to OEM specs, or do i need some one with a bit more expertise than a regular mechanic.

From some of the reading I've done on here, it looks like that after the drop, specs should be different from OEM settings.
This is what I am talking about, see below

All your help is greatly appreciated.

This is the most useful thread I have found so far on Driver for wheel issues. Thanks to OP for creating it!

 

I'm running a 255 35 20 .. +5 offset .. im gonna look into hankook and those others ya mentioned thanks a lot

 

what's the reasoning Blaine. I'm really interested in knowing - you can PM me if you want to keep this out of the thread.

 

ok ive posted this question in another thread and got about 85 views and NO replies, so ill try here.
I have a 03.5 sport sedan, premium package. I have the 17 inch 5 spoke sport rims. i saw on jdmparts.com that the 03 skyline 350gt sport sedan has the same exact wheels only they are made by Rays. same dimensions same offset same tire size. Are the early sport sedan 17's on the G also made by Rays?
Also, Ive noticed not many 03 sedans include the sport package. Comared to other versions of the G, are the 1st gen sport packages rare finds? Thanks for the help!
