with the 20x8.5 +20 and 20x10 +25 i would suggest a 10mm spacer all around to make it better flush on the guards....you wouldn't rub in the back unless you didn't roll your fenders, if you roll them you won't have that problem...camber kits are simple, they replace an oem part of your suspension that allows you to correct your camber when you lower a car...a car natural gains negative camber as you lower it and usually most people will need rear camber kits if they go more than an inch of a drop...it helps you so that your tires do not wear out unevenly

Is there any way i can get that flush look without spacers? they are actually illegal in Australia. Okay great, i am putting a deposit on the rims today and buying the S-Techs today as well. Which are the best/cheapest camber kits to buy and how are they to install? Your help is valuable thank you!

Or is there a different set of Brand Name springs that can give me a slightly less of a drop than 1.5''?

buy spacers anyway.

There's a bunch of illegal stuff here in california and everybody still does it. If your wheels aren't flush, theres no way to make it more flush without spacers.

You won't really be able to get the flush look with those specs/offsets without spacers, sorry....and i wouldn't cheap out on suspension parts, so i'd go with spc rear camber arms, they aren't the hardest thing to install but definately one of the easier suspension mods to DIY

Okay, that sounds good. Is there going to be any issues only putting in a rear camber kit and not a front one as well? I am going to need to buy new shocks too since they are going to wear quicker with a drop. Can you recommend any springs that would lower around 1''? that would be a perfect drop and good height for me and the roads in my town and driveways.

Is there a way to get the camber kit cheaper than that price on Ebay?

I'm just talking to a mate that has the EXACT same rim setup and offset as what i'm looking at and he's lowered on Eibach springs 1.1'' drop and has no problem at all with rubbing, just waiting for some pics to see how it looks. He has just bought a camber kit and is going to roll the back fender so i think i will go with the camber kit as well just depends how it looks with and without it and as i said before its my daily drive so i dont want it super low just looking nice and clean.

Sorry guys, but I'm a complete rookie when it comes to wheels/tires/fitment...

What is the most aggressive fitment I can put on my 04 G35 Coupe without having to roll my fenders and worrying about rubbing and all that? I'll probably go 19 staggered.

Thanks in advance...

19x9.5 and 19x10.5 stick to the lower 20 offset ranges and you'll be good...you know rolling fenders isn't a big deal and doesn't damage anything, its a simple fix
