Judging skirt to ground you're not slammed. Once you put on a stretched set up with 19s you're gonna have some fender gap for sure.

When you go up in wheel sizes it will raise your car, not lower it so you'll have to lower your car more just to get it back to how it looks now with the 18's once you get the 19's

^ not true, when you go up overall diameter it will raise the car. But he's running big tires on those wheels.

It's low, but not slammed from what I see.

What are you fender measurements? And you'll have to adjust height either way.

I was just referring to overall if you keep the same tires sizes but just move up in diameter you will be higher

Absolutely.... get the car fully set up around the wheels then align to perfect it.

Quick question.

Setup: 18x8.5 +25mm 245/40/18 on all four corners 05 G35x sedan on Bc racing coilovers lowered 3 inches all around.

Currently at -3.4 camber in rear and 2.9 camber in front from natural drop on stock arms front and back. About to order my Spc camber kit front and rear w/ toe bolt kit good choice? I mostly want to get rid of some camber to get as flush as I can with rolled rear fenders.

Will the spc camber kit front and rear get rid of enough camber to get me flush or will I have to run wheel spacers to get my wheels out a bit more? If so what size? I just want to be as close to flush as possible don't have to be aggressive and would prefer to not do any more fender work =)



They are way more sunken than in this pic, I'll try and get a better pic tmrw. This was before they settled.

SPC f/r will def get to where you want, and then some. The fronts have tons of positive achievement, especially with the 2* angled spacer.

If you decide to go lower in the future, you may max out your spc rears and have to upgrade to SPL. I had to. SPC fronts have tonnnnnssss of room, even when I was on 19s.

does anybody know if the AWD sedans and the RWD sedans have the same under carriage? i just found out that the AWDs crossmember is lower for some reason. is this true? confirm after viewing thread....


just got in touch with a X driver that ran 19x9.5+2 19x10.5+17 not too long ago. check it out.
