If I do the coupe/Z springs combo to lower my 03.5 sedan (sport suspension)
with wheels- front 18x8 225/45/18
rear 18x9.5 255/40/18

Will there be any modification needed? Im looking for a simple setup. and what year coupe/Z spring will fit?

I'm not 100% positive of the exact offset in which the wheel won't hit the strut. I need to look into that a little more.

Hi 4DGS, any more info on this? When you have time please let me know. Thanks!

My car is an 08 sedan with Eibachs and running about -2.0 of
camber all around.

I need some advice.. I just bought a used set of Concept One RS-10 wheels and the seller didn't know the offsets. They are 20x8.5 and 20x10 with 245/30 and 275/30 tires. I looked online and came across Concept One only makes them in +38 offset in the rear. I knew that would fit with no issues and planned on adding spacers and stretched tires.

Well I installed them and the rear offset looks to be around +20. Haha. It's a little on the too aggressive side for me but I think it might be do-able with a 245/35 and another degree of camber.

I know a guy just ran a 20x10.5 +25 with 255/35 tire so I can only imagine a 20x10 +20 with a 245/35 will work on my car.

Am I right?

Depends on the offset of the wheels. If you're around +20 you won't be ok, but +40 you'll be fine.

Figure out the offsets and let me know.

20x10 +20 is no problem for the sedan. 245 or 235 will make that fit easy. You will need a another degree of camber though!

So on a 2005 Sedan what tire size would you recommend with a 9" et36 front and a 10.5 et 45 rear?

I'm thinking a 245/35/20 and a 275/30/20, really want a 285 but don't know if the 275 will even fit. I'm lowered on S-techs with natural camber. Plan on rolling the fenders because I know I will have to do that.

Suggestions?

These lugs were sent to me from a cousin and realized today they won't fit into the hole lmao. All they say on them are M12x1.5, what size etc should I be looking for? was going to get rims installed tomorrow. Refer to pic

realize I need 12x1.25 but does that not just change to the proper thread pitch. These ones will not fit in the holes. Will any proper tuner style lug fit?

It would help to know if you drive a coupe or a sedan. Also are you lowered btw? If not, do you plan to lower your ride in the future? If this is for a coupe, 8.5 and 9.5 is pretty skinny for a coupe. I gotta admit SF Winnings are one of my favorite Volk wheels though especially in merc silver. Usually a set of used volks sell from anywhere b/w 1500-2500 w/ tires. For your mint set w/o tires, I would say you are getting a pretty good deal to have everything shipped to you right under 2k.

Just my .02

GL!

Thanks for your reply. I have a coupe that I drive daily and I'm not sure about lowering it too much. The roads where I'm at aren't the greatest. I really like the look of the wheels and the price is in line with what you suggested so I think I'll go for it. Thank you!

Look up G35 coupe wheels on the sedan, fit pretty much identical (5mm in offset change)

Those tire sizes sound good, just make sure that 10.5 +45 won't rub the strut!

Yea you need 12x1.25

As for the seat I'd need a better look at the seat location on the wheels.

The front there is nothing to stretch on, 8.5 is just too slim of a wheel. 225/35 is basically the smallest you'd want to go and that isn't much of a stretch, but 225/35 nd 245/35 would be your best bet. You'll also want at least 20mm spacers in the back and at least 25mm up front.

32-35psi, air pressure is what it is, Pressure. So it stays the same form OEM set ups to aftermarket.

Yea you can fit those no problem without any extra work (not even a roll is needed) Tires, run 245/35 and 275/30 IMO but 245/40 and 275/35 also works.

As for the price really depends, the specs aren't too bad but they aren't optimal for the G. $2000 is fair if they are truly mint. If they are ov er $2000, look for another set. There is 5 or 6 sets of volks in the 9.5/10.5 stagger on my350z with tires for around $2500.
