Front

Rear
Size: 18x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 25.8
Tire: 245/45/18
Thanks drewdrew, so I won't have any problems with running a square tire setup on a staggered rim setup then? Just the Spedo issues calculated from that site?

Shouldn't have any problems. I'm not entirely familiar with sedans yet, but I know for a fact your speedo will be ever so little off.

G35 coupe, 18x10 +25 | 245/40/18

I'm ordering spacers and going with 25mm up front (+0) and 35mm in the rear (-10) would the rear be okay with just some fender rolling/ pulling or do I need more camber also ?

Depends how much camber you're willing to run. without a pull, you'll have just under -3 in the rear. for every mm of pull, take away .2* of camber. I'm sure you can do the math from there, and decide if you want a pull at all.

That response doesn't apply to your question. I'm not familiar enough with sedan fitments. you'll have to wait for blain/4dgs to come in here. Sorry. hopefully I'm as good with sedans in another month or so, so I can help ou guys out as well.

edit: oh wait. that was your point. lol. sorry, still waking up, but that's my reason for not answering yours.

I've been avoiding this thread because it's been too much of a headache skipping over questions.

Not sure why Eric told you that because the rears are pre rolled...

The offsets should be fine as the second gen has more inner clearance than the first gen.

What tire sizes are you hoping to run?

mpg35 has a 1st gen sedan. his sig...hehe.

the 2nd gen dude's question is wondering if it would look fine with 10mm more poke on his current height.

see here:
I'm currently lowered on Eibach pro kit springs and running Wedsport SA67R rims: 19 x 9 (35 ) w/ 245/40 & 19 x 10 (42) w/ 275/35
rims and tires. I'm running - 2 camber all around.

Looking to upgrade to Forgestar F14 rims: 19 x 10 (38) front & 19 x 11 (45) rear with the same tires and tire sizes. Anyone know if this would work / fit or just look ridiculous with my ride height and tires?

been looking at this and trying to figure out what tire size he's running and if he has a fender pull.

"spacers unknown" is he running spacers??

Thanks Drew and 4DGS for at least acknowledging my query and attempting to help.

I'll post back, I'm gonna go ahead and try it anyway, only way to find out. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll have pics, still working to get the rims to NYC.

I hope my general tires can handle the stretch and my suspension and fenders can handle the width.

Generals are one of the best stretching tires ever. plus your widths and tires are barely a stretch at all.
