Need help cant get and answer! I have 275/30/20 and 245/35/20 I want to lower it! I was looking at the NF210 the drop looks nice. What i have found from othere members is the rear gap on 20" with 30 series tires is like no gap and froni is like a finger to hafe a finger! The NF210 stance seem to have the front higher! I was looking at the 350z H-tech do to they seem to have a good stance no sag in the rear. Can anyone tell me if they have about the same size rims and tires as me and what the finger gap would be if i did the 350z H-tech! I want maybe a finger gap or a little less but no *** sagging! Please help!

18x8.5 +33 and 245/45/18 on the rears of a sedan, coilovers and not rolled yet. If i wanted to put a spacer in back what would be an ideal size?

So after a long wait (roughly 5 months) my Work GNosis GS2s came in. =)

Needless to say, I am very happy with the fitment and the look. My problem is rims have thrown either my TPMS or VDC out of whack when driving. Before, I had a set of Volk SF-Challenges and my VDC would trip out at about 60-70 mph - the "slip" light would come on and my car felt like it was taking over when i accelerated. I would have to let up on the gas pedal a little and step on the brake to get it to stop. After putting the OEMs back on I didnt experience this problem but now that I have the Works on, its been occuring again. Only this time, the "slip" light kicks in at about 30-40 mph.

Bottom line is that I'm looking for a solution to make this stop. Anyone ever experienced this problem when running aftermarket wheels? any info will help. i figured there are plenty of wheel gurus out there who might have the answer to this question.

looking at 20x9.5 + 22 front and 20x10.5 +25 rear. 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. I am dropped on Eibach pro kit for the 350z, so about a 1.5" drop. 2004 G35 coupe. Rears are already rolled, should this setup be ok without running too much negative camber in the rear?

Hello All, looking to confirm before purchase this week after getting the insurance checks (Rear end got pretty screwed up)

I have an 06 G35 coupe w/ Performance suspension and 19" OEM rims. Both rear tires and rims are destroyed so I will be picking up new tires and rims.

Picking up MRR GT1 rims at 19x8.5 for the front and 19x9.5 for the rear. Both have a +35 offset I believe?

Rubber is going to be 245/35/19 for the front and 275/35/19 in the rear.

A- Will the setup work? Can anyone see any reason why it wouldn't?
B- Will I have any issues with the VDC light and 'Slip' coming on? (MAJOR concern of mine.)
C- I plan on picking up some coilovers as well. With dropping the car say an inch or 1.5, do I need to worry about rub or anything? (I live in VT and fender rolling isn't exactly easy to find.) Contemplating a few different coilover setups now.

Your help is *VERY* much appreciated guys!

^ +35 is a horrible offset for the couple, save your money.

What makes you say that +35 is horrid? Seriously, I understand that offset is that depth of the rim, but what makes you say that that isn't worth it on a coupe?

What would you suggest and why? I am dying to order the parts to repair the car, but I want to make sure everything is correct before making the plunge.

What makes you say that and why?

Thanks again,
-M

Please do youself a favor and do way more research. The width and offsets you picked would not even fly in the sedan world anymore. Front wheel I would say nothing less than 9.5 and rear 10.5 or more with offsets in the teens.

Hi guys I am looking advice on a set of wheels I plan on buying.

They are ENKEI PF01 18", problem is I don't know what combination for front/rear in terms of offset and wheel width. I will install my vortech kit soon and want good traction. I have a nismo lsd and akebono BBK front and rear.

so i just mounted 275/30/19 Potenza RE050A Pole Positions on my rear and to find that my front tires are about to die and needs replacement. Now i dont have the budget to go with the potenzas right now so is it okay if I buy a different brand tire? any recommendations for about $150-$200 each tire for the front?

do you have a camber kit?

if not, then it doesn't matter what tire you get. Your tires will still suffer the same
