Thanks bud. Should I be good going down to +15mm? It's only 2mm but hey, the closer I can get it the better .

On a sidenote man this car is a moneypit... Bought a Stillen intake, wheels, tires and still need a spacer, clears and plugs (at least). Worst case it'll be that + HFC's + tune

Stock height for now. Still haven't decided on springs yet. I want to track the car with the 4X4 setup first just so I can get a good feel for what it behaves like on the stock setup (will likely not track it with these wheels since I don't want to mess the F14's up quite yet).

If I do end up dropping it, I probably won't go much lower than say 1-1.25" but I may have to stick with the 4*4 look until next season. I dropped my Max 2.5" and it annoys me whenever I go places and scrape crap/destroy exhaust components. You should see the wheel gap even on that drop. Still worse than the G which is why I have a high tolerance for the 4*4 look...

10.5" +12 is a solid 9mm out more than the 10.0" +15 so I should be okay if you were able to even run that setup at all...

So my G sedan is dropped on tanabe coupe df210s, so about 2.2R and 1.8F, my car has the Oem 17s. Next week I'm about to pick up a set of coupe 18's and i was wondering what tire size you guys would suggest and if i should get spacers or not. I want a light wait sortaflush aggressive look, if thats possible.

HI all..

I have a stock blk/blk MT 06 coup and have a friend that has a set of wheels from his Z he is looking to sell.
Five Axis Five:AD S5-F 19x9.5 +25 front and 19x10.5 +22 rear. The tires are Hankook Ventus V12 255/35R19 front and 285/35R19 rear with 75% tread.

What will these look like on my car? Any fitment issues? The wheels are perfect with 4K miles so what do you guys think is a fair price? At this point I am really trying to avoid modifying (lowering/rolling fender/camber kit/etc) the car but want a more aggressive (not crazy aggressive) wheel then the stock Rays.

I don't know about a fair price but with the specs of the wheels and the tires you'll be completely fine without any modifications at all

ambiguous113: Thanks for the response. Is this going to look correct? Flush? Should I save the $$ and get more aggressive then this setup?

He paid around $2300 less then a year ago for the set. I believe he would take $1200 so its would save me some good $$$ and I am getting really tired of the stock rays.

Oh okay so ya 1200 is a good price to offer him especially if their on good condition....the offsets will give u better fitment than the oem's but could use a 10mm all around to make it look good but still functional...if u went with the spacers though u would just need to roll the rear fenders which isn't really that big of a deal

I have 25mm spacers now. Would that make them stick out too much? Would I need to roll the fronts to get the 25's to work on the front?

U would need considerable negative camber and slight pulls front and rear plus drop to make it look good with that big of spacers...

i would just get new spacers man, unless you have the tools and equiptment to roll and pull the fronts and rears nicely, i rolled my rear with a baseball bat, i couldnt take the side down any further lol but it would have looked alot better witht the right tools, i am the only one that can see the imperfection though, just because i know where it is
