Question Lowering Fronts on Square Set up

Hey guys, I recently swapped out my 19" Rays for 20" XXR 526s 20x9 +35 offset.
The 526's are on 245/40/20 All Around (Tires came with the rims, which I got for a hell of a deal!).
Right now it doesn't look too bad, but I kinda miss the feel of the staggered 19's
Idk if its the 20'' or if its the square set up...but it doesn't feel like a RWD car anymore?
I like how my rear is sitting right now, however I think I wanna drop the fronts just a bit more...Maybe a drop will make it better in feel (I can feel all of the rocks, potholes, lane markers so much more with these 20", which wasn't noticeable before with the 19''s)

So is it possible to drop the fronts only, while its on a square set up?
I'm on stock height btw. Thanks!

Sorry, to clarify, the car now feels heavier, slower to accelerate, stiffer while turning. Idk, Maybe I'm just overthinking this... I need some insight on what to do, from anyone who has ever done a square set up..with 20"s lol

Re: buying new rims for the first time

Hey just joined this site pretty new to it... but its pretty dope that every1's helpin each other out. I been researchin trying to find which rims i want and what size to go what company. if i should lower it? or not.. all these damn questions lol
basically im still a student.. so i dont got too much $$ to drop but i can dish out about 2000$. but would like to stay at about $1500. ..

I have a G 35X 2008.. black. only thing ive done to it is tinted it
what im thinking is of getting 20's.. just because ima big dude i like big rims.. but is that bad?
i mean i could go with 19's.. but i think in the back of my head im always gna be like **** i shudda got the 20's.
then my question is where to buy them from? and should i get the tires from the same vendor or buy the rims and tire seperately.
I also am not a very careful driver.. i live in chicago for now but travel back and forth to Toronto so i really am worried about how its going to affect the drive and how careful i have to be driving.
and ONTOP of all this i Do want concave rims.. preferabbly a deeep concave type with the back tires coming out (spacers, or however they do it).

ive been looking at Niche Velano's.. the Stance cc5? i think. the Rohaana rims. also the XO caracas. what kind of setup would i need and do you think its a good idea? specially if im not going to lower the car just yet..
i know my grammer sucks.. im just super high lol if anyone gets around to reading my **** id be gratefulll! LOL thanks guys

These are all normal symptoms of putting bigger wheels on your car. No amount of suspension work will get rid of them.

I would go with 225/35 245/35.
With camber roughly -3.0 but u might need to roll fenders and add spacers

Right thread! (This guy learned his lesson!)

You should look around google and see what style you like:
Do you want to see your brakes between the spikes?
Do you want the wheels to stand out a lot?
Do you want something that will last you through track day?

Best option would be a set of FORGED 19" coupe rays that are professional powder coated black. They are the STRONGEST set of wheels you can buy for the best value and are readily available. Welcome to the forum!

Quick learner eh?? But My biggest thing is to get the new deck and sub first, and then just have mom and dad get new tires for the stock 17's? Or get the 19's then wait for the audio. Thoughts?

What size tires on this G?

I came across this G from one of the users here while googling some wheels. I just got those same wheels but am not sure what size tires to put on them. The wheels are 18x8 front 18x8.5 rear. This is the exact look I want, wonder if anybody can tell me the size on these wheels, thanks.
