[QUOTE=4DGS;6525790]Hey sorry I missed it, can you post your question again?
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. Just ordered my Spc camber kit front and rear w/ toe bolt kit. 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 with what I am working with =)

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

No way I'd do it myself. If I do, the wheels just might disassemble on me while I'm driving.
The only thing keeping me from doing it is how big of a pain it's gonna be to do everything, but i'll contact wheel flip to see what I can do.
I've never taken apart any wheels. But would I be able to loosen and remove all rivets from the back side? because that bent lip is going to pose a problem.

But yea contact those guys and they can give you a lot of options.

You shoudl be able to get the rear to -2 without rubbing and the front should be able to go to about -1 maybe a little less (1.3ish) But you're better off just aligning to where you want the wheels to sit. and then going in to get it finalized.

Ok so I am currently using megan rear camber kit and megan rear radius arms on my g 20x12 -22 265/30 tire fenders rolled pulled as far as I can get them to go. Just not getting enoughb camber and adjusting my Toe I am just hitting my back bumber with the tire..Need some help with the rears guys fronts I got with no problem it's those rears i can't get to fit! might be doing body work unless it can be done with out but it's not looking that way. Any help would be appreciated Thanks

Only way to stop that is to cut the bumper tab and relocate it. Even pulling more camber won't correct this as you'd have to pull away from it completely (tuck the wheel) for it to clear the upper fender.
Could try running a 255/30 or 245/35 but you're getting into a pretty unsafe stretch at that point.

Hey Blain, sorry bother you again =P
Found out yesterday that one of my the Work wheels has a leak coming from the bolts on the inside? That same wheel the previous owner had just replaced a new lip for it too, and he also did the disassembly/reassembly by himself.
Could it be that he reassembled it wrong or messed up somehow? I also was suspecting that something was wrong about the wheel because the silicone was kind of pealing as well and not smooth as the rest of the wheels. And I also know that it wasn't torqued down and no thread lock was used when i texted the previous owner.
I'm thinking about disassembling it and reassembling it myself. I've looked it up on how to do it and it looks fairly simple.
Couple of links I've read and seen:

Or do you think I should leave it to the professionals?
What are your opinions? Any help with be great! Thanks again.

I don't wanna read through all the pages so apologies if this has been asked once before.
04 G35 Couple I still have the stock 18x8 +30 wheels on all 4 corners.
I have an opporitunity to run a buddies wheels with slicks at some auto-x's They are 18x9 +55 Which according to wheel calculators will sit 30mm farther inwards towards the suspension / body.
Question is with the stock +30 wheels how much clearance is there inwards on the front of the G coupes? Will this fit with out spacers? (I have a spare wheel of his that I'm going to test this week but I figured it'd be nice to know if they would fit in theory first)
Thanks.

As for the leak, it's probably just a sloppy silicone job on the lip to barrel. It's pretty common as the air can leak out of even the tiniest hole.
If you have a shop that can do the work take it to them, but if not it might be something you want to tackle yourself and learn from.
Run a 245/40 IMO, just to keep the clearance issues minimal.

I think I might do some body work and remold my rear quarter panels. Reshape the body lines..really don't want to run that small of a tire on a 12 not saying it can't be done just don't want to run that.It is so close to fitting I just can't get it.. So close though..Front's were cake
Spray paint em. Varrstoen should really offer metal caps for the polished finish as plastic and polished is an ugly combo.

If he had all the wheels a part I would definitely pull all of them a part and retorque everything just in case....
