What are your widths, offsets and tire sizes? Most likely have add some neg camber or thinner tires

Yeah not lowered sounds like some serious blown shocks. When do you notice the rubbing ?

it's only when I hit bumps or when I slam on the brakes and it looks like the tires do need some negative camber

Newb here. Not having much luck getting feedback on my soon to be set up.

Just purchased some LMGT4s and would like to run some decent rubber all around.

Heres what I have/want

car: 2003 sedan 6mt

wheels: 19x8.5 sqaure +25 et

Supsension: Nismo S-tune (1.5" drop)

Tires: ??? 245/40/19 ???

I would prefer the tire size above but all I see is people with 245 35 up front. Would I have to roll the fenders to fit 40s, even with a mild drop?

I dont want tire stretch. I dont want a 35 series tire. I dont care about wheels being completely flush.

I just dont want to rub!!

Please help folks. thanx in advance.

You'll be fine with the 245/40's if you're only dropped a bit. Might have to roll the rear fenders but it's not a difficult job.

How come I cant find a single pic of a G with this set up???

Am I right in thinking that the S Tune 1.5"-1.7" drop would be considered mild?

I only wanna do this once and its killing me that I cant find anyone lowered, with 19x8.5s +25et running 245 40s.

I think it looks way sportier and you dont have to worry about hitting pot holes or bumps and bending your rim.

Question. I have a 04 g with brembo brakes. Right now it is slightly lowered on Tein H tech springs.

The rims i want to get are 8.5" +20 or +35 offset in the front and 9.5 +20 or +40 offset in that back.
I'm not sure if they will fit. I was going to pair them up with 245/35/19's and 275/35/19's pole position sports.

what do you think? I am worried they will not clear the caliper. :-/

not sure about the brembo clearance as my coupe doesn't have them but I just put on 8.5 +15 f(235/35/19) 9.5 +20 r(255/35/19) and im right at being flush. it will probably flush out when i lower it so definitely go with the +20 offsets. you might be flush with those tire sizes u want to pair them up with
