&If I were to match those numbers will I need to get small spacers? or will that not show much of a difference with already being at zero offsets?

11 +5 is equal to 10.5 -1

My Z runs 9.5 +2 10.5 -3 with 235/35 and 255/35 no rubbing what so ever and camber is next to straight, maybe -2 front and rear.

And it's not hella slammed but it's not high in any sense, it tucks tire all around.

Wow nice Z.. didn't know you had one. Actually when I think about it -10 aint that bad. Check this out. I like the poke on his car but hes definitely lower than me. Does the height really affect the poke etc. or is it all offsets and camber?

It comes into play more as how you see the poke. Poke at a high height looks ****ed no lie lol

If you can't slam it out because of the Kuruma, then go 20s!

If you look up Chris' old set up on the gangster Volk GTS (19x10.5 square) I'm pretty sure he had 225/35s on the front of that.

This is supposedly 225/35 on 10.5 but I dunno, doesn't look stretched enough IMO.
Nexens which run slightly larger than NS2s.

I knew you'd have something up your sleeve. My google searches found the pics you posted in the first reply. Second post is what I needed.

9.5/10.5 +4/+6 would rebarrel to 10.5/11.5 -8/-6 correct?

if I wanted 10/11 it would be 10/11 -2/-0?

Bigger lips huh?

I think wheelflip is having a lip sale/ they quoted me 19" steps around $180-200 if I remember right... Not sure about work lips. Reverse would be cheaper I'm sure

G35 Coupe Wheels

I recently (2 weeks ago) bought a 2006 OB G35 coupe 6mt. It is my first manual trans car and I absolutely love it! I am still pretty terrible at shifting smoothly, and seem to grind 5th gear even when the clutch is all the way depressed for some reason ... but the car is a huge success. I've wanted a G coupe for years and my dream came true. However, the previous owner chose to basically fit 16inch wheels and SUV tires all around and they are TERRIBLE. I feel the gas mileage dropping to absolute zero and the handling is abominable. Since I'm so new to this car, I was wondering if any of you who are educated about wheels/tires for the G could enlighten me. I plan on getting new suspension / lowering the car 1 - 1.5 inches in the future so please keep that in mind. Not asking you to do my homework for me, just asking for any experts out! Thanks guys
