The springs aren't going to be valved correctly for the coil struts and are likely valved sitffer than the Teins.

However, Teins are notorious for being very soft. What coils are you running?



Use the search, there are tonnes of threads where everyone shows their wheel and tire specs with photos.



rear will probably rub strut...

You need a thinner wheel in the back if you don't plan to poke.


Sorry ment they are soft .. But have tein basics on my G .. Also have a set of h&r springs sitting in my garage ... Would I be able to run the H&R lowering springs on the tein ?

Ohhhh yea, was gonna say I've never heard of anyone that thought Teins were too stiff lol

I'm unsure if the H&Rs will seat on the struts, and they're kind of unknown rates paired with the valved struts so it would be an experiment to say the least.

Well I'll give it a try if not then I'll use stock shocks w/ H&R and sell my teins and buy a better stiffer set .. Any recommendations?

4DGS,

I used my GPS today and I'm only around 1 mph too slow at 60mph. I dont really mind that, and the beefy (yet oversized I know) tires in the rear look pretty good to me, do you think it's fine if I run my 225/45 front 245/45 rear despite front being smaller than oem and rear being larger than oem? Not going to cause any mechanical issues right? Thanks

No you'll be fine, just looks a little off, that's all.

g37 convertible with sports suspension & OEM 19" wheels (8.5" F off set 43 and 9" R off set 30) with 225/45 and 245/40 tires.
I recently have been looking into anniversary OEM 19" wheels but the problem is these only come in 30 offset for all 4. The two for rear will be fine but the question is for the front wheels/tires:
What's my best option:
1)use same tire 225/45 with 19x9x30 offset wheels
2) use same as rear size tires 245/40 with 18x9x30 offset wheels.
3) Get correct offset and wheel size (19x8.5x43 offset),
Please respond with your educated suggestions.

Thanks
