if your just going to be doing a moderate drop with springs i would suggest sticking in the low 20's to teens offset ranges with wheel widths of 9.5/10.5 or close to it.....with those specs you'll be good running 245/35 or 255/35 in the fronts and 275/35 or 285/35 in the rear

Yeah, I really want the motordyne tdx2 exhaust. My son has a flowmaster on his passport and it is loud, of course his friends have exhaust also, one kid has a scion tc with exhaust, my neighbors hate me. Oh well. Funny thing is they all want my G and they all still say it sounds better than their cars do with my factory exhaust. They are right. LOL I really am thinking about the spring drop, can't make my mind up on the springs I want, did you replace the shocks also or just springs?
only swapped springs. im on sport shocks. 245/45/18 tires, 20mm spacers all around. pics coming soon

Tanabe gf210. 1.5 inch drop all around, a bit stiffer, I paired with tokico shocks and its perfect for daily, and just stiff enough to not be annoying. Im on stock 18s stock tires size and almost tuck, closes the wheel gap. As well im on 25mm spacers all around and clear no problem.

Cool yeah shoot me some tire options. Currently im looking at Achillies atr sport's in the 245/35-19. I can get all 4 shipped for about $400. That's a pretty good deal I thought. Can't find too many complaints about them either. I was thinking the same thing with a 20mm spacer in the rear. What about up front? A 5 to 15mm somewhere in that range?
cant figure it out

thnx fellas. gunmetal looks awesome on DG. Blain, whose car is that? i wanna see some specs. i agre, 19s would fit the bill nicely but i need to work with what i have right now as the holidays are around the corner and the money is not there for rays and tires right now. i def. want to go the p/c route though. first i need to do some homework on refinishing shops.
Butkiss11 I think is his screen name.
I am looking at some of the forgestar F14 super deep concave wheels in bronze burst. I am really trying to get rid of the spacers, and was liking the 19x 9.5 or 19 x 10 for the fronts and the 19 x 11 in the rear. I have an 06 6MT with sport suspension, no drop yet, that can come later. What offsets should I run? Is the 11 too much in the rear....Or should I go with 20's?

And yea order the spacers after. pick the spacer size to your taste.

Any thoughts?
This is my 05 Sedan. I've photo shopped a rear wheel in that is a replica G35 sport 18x9. I've not been able to find anyone else that has done this but surely there is someone out there. Total price for two of these reps are $177.00 shipped, new. So for less than $200 I can have a set of staggered OEM looking wheels utilizing the OEM fronts. The finish is not exact but it's not extremely far off (it's closer than the photo indicates because of crappy lighting on the pasted wheel). And I may go with a gloss black PC in the future. Is this too cheese and that's why I can't find anyone else with this setup?

Yes sir! OEM front and reps in rear. The rep has roughly a 2" lip for the stagger look. They are cheap-I'm on a budget. And I thought it looked pretty good. Just wanted some unbiased opinions and thanks for taking the time to give me yours. I like the OEMs too I've just gotten bored with them.
