Ok so you looking at 9.5 +20?

roll the fenders and you can run a 20mm spacer without issues, even with a 275/35 or 30.

9.5 +0 is equal to 10.5 +12 which is a very common set up for G coupes.

Drew, 225/35 on a 10 is not problem I had 225/35 falken fks on my old weds and aside from being a bitch to remove they were fine.

Jeff (cdn G35) also is running nankang 225/35 on a 10 for his new set up however he doesn't have any pics posted yet as hes still waiting on me to adjust camber and pull his fenders some more.

So I just realized to be legally modded here in Hawaii theres some strict rules like camber must be in line with factory specs...so I need to start my plan over, can 19x8.5 +35 fit into factory alignment? Fender can be rolled/pulled. Could 19x9.5 +30 fit into factory alignment? Even if I pulled the fender (I'm allowed 1/2 inch) it wouldn't fit right? Could 19x9.5 fit at a higher offset? Thanks

Jdm v35 in the Hawaii forum...I don't have a good reason to not believe him...and that could be bagged, if its not and you've never been here before, recons a joke, not many people get it. Plus cops don't pull you over for illegal modifications/recon only

Could check the spacer sizes, could be right there.

Get your alignment print out and take a picture of it for me, from the factory your alignment shouldn't even be zero.
I'll have to see if I can get a copy of the alignment after they were finished. Because I don't have any factory alignment...after fixing my car, couple month into it, decided to do the drop, so i don't have the original specs on factory set up.

Ok checked my spacers. Both are the same size. Now need to find that alignment spec sheet.

I've been doing a bit of research and I'm pretty sure I can fit 305s in the rear. The tires will dictate the rim size so any input would help. I'm wanting to run 305/40/18 or 305/35/19 in the rear.For 18s I'm looking at 18 x10.5 +15 which I'm pretty sure can fit. The fronts I'm sure I can fit a 275/285.

My rear fenders are rolled/pulled/banged out. I roughly measured 12.75" from strut housing(OEM setup) to edge of fender and 3.5" hub to edge of fender.

I wanna run straight up camber. -1-1.5 at most, my present setup in the rear is 20x12-5 255/35 with - 2.8 camber.

Ok, great thread! I was doing searching, and I think this setup will work- but any experts here can let me know:
2003 G35 coupe w/ Brembos lowered on coils. Plan to roll back fenders, front if needed.

Looking at the new VarrsToen 1.1.3 BBS reps and am going staggered F: 20x10 / R: 20x11et15
The back will be fine im sure(will need spacers for flush also), the fronts i'm wondering about... 20x10 et 15/25/35? I do want aggressive, poke and stretch.

Any help appreciated, was going to put in a preorder today if anybody can help ASAP.

Thanks!

Just need a quick math double check:

1" wheel width is equal to +12mm offset?

And based on that, if I currently use a 10.5 +5, going to 12" 0 or slightly negative is going to be about 23mm more poke, is that right?

So you don't have any reason to believe him? Hawaii has some of most aggressive vip cars North American has seen. Many of them are daily drivers.

wait so you're saying you haven't aligned it after you dropped it?

Current set up sounds gangster post pics lol

however running a 305 on a 10.5 is kind of too big, you're going to have some sidewall bulge. But you won't have a problem fitting them with a minor pull and thatnhint of camber. I have 10.5 +12 with 275s atm and I'm planning to bump up to a 295 and I definitely have room.

How low are you?

Go 235/35 and 255/35 (or 225/35 and 245/35 if you want to go really aggressive)

Run 15-20mm spacers this will depend on how low you go and how much camber the car pulls with your drop.

Your math is correct.

18mm from the width change +5 from the original offset = 23mm

So you're working with about an inch there.

Also easy tip to make them fit, every degree of camber is equal to about 5mm in offset change!

I'm dropping by the DOT when I get a chance to pick up the official rules..but until then, could the specs I listed fit into factory alignment?

19x8.5 +35, 19x9.5+30? Or 19x9.5 higher offset? Can pull fender up to 1/2"

Thanks for the tire advice, will definitely take it- I'm not completey sure how low I am at the moment, i've adjusted the coils 2x for daily driving and since I just have the 18" stocks on, I just wanted to close most of the gap. Just to make sure:

+15 on 20x10 will not be a problem in front at all- fender work needed? It's not that aggressive, right?

Thanks again!
