Hey guys!
I'm in the process of buying 19in wheels with 12offsets. I'm going to use front tires with specs of 235/35/19
And rear 255/35
I was thinking about eibachs pro springs,
Will I need to start messing with camber specs? Or will my tires be fine?
Any help will be appreciated thanks guys!

My question is should I plastidip the wheels with the true metallics aluminum color for a cheap fix? or is wet sanding the wheel with a very high gritgoing to get me the color I'm trying to achieve?
I say learn to love em. I didn't like mine at first either, but I totally dig em now. They aren't very common either. The chrome 18s and the chrome 19" rays are fairly far and few between.

04 Sedan - Starting to buy parts, plan to run 18x9.5 +38 rear (already have these) and 18x8.5 +33 front. To begin with I'll be using springs for about a 1.5" drop, unsure of which I will go with.

What tire sizes would be good? And will I need a camber kit? Thank you

I'm running a staggered setup of those wheels 20x8.5 20x10.5 with 245/35 285/30 respectively.

Depending on how low you are and if you decide to run spacers or not, I would run a 275/30 all around.

Heres a crappy pic of my setup with a 10mm spacer up front. The rear has no spacer and is almost flush. The front could use another 10mm but already rubs as it is.

Sorry I forgot to mention I'm trying to do this setup on a 2006 g35 sedan. I know there's some people that have done it. I was just wondering what to do I have to do to run them without rubbing.

I have a question about a set of wheels i'm looking to buy. (F)19x10 +25 (R)19x11 -1 leon hardiritt bugel wheels. I'm not looking to slam the car or go widebody.I'd like to lower the car 2" to 3" and still have a functional height. Will I be able to pull this off and look flush at the same time?

Probably not... you're going to have to sacrifice a lot of practicality and functionality beyond a 1.5 inch drop. At 2-3 inches you will need to dial in some camber and/or run stretched tires to fit those wheels which are pretty aggressive.

19s fill up the fenders in our cars extremely well and seem to be the most popular size for all around function and form. 18s will be good for track and daily driving and yes, will allow you to run bigger tires. Depending on what width wheels you get, you can still get 19s and run a 40 tire.

Hope someone can help here, I'm thinking about changing over to 19s from 20s. The arches are already rolled flat and has non-brembo brakes with BC coilovers.

The new specs:

Rear – 19×10 Offset -6
Front – 19×9 Offset +6

What tire sizes will I need to keep the rolling radius the same and will I need any stretch with this set up? I'd prefer as little stretch as possible. Thanks.

thanks for your input. I'll continue my wheel search and do more research/math on how to pull off the look I desire

Depends on what your current tire size is. Play around with the tire size calculator to see what size tires will be the same rolling diameter as your current setup: https://g35driver.com/forums/tire_rim_calculator.php

With those widths and offsets, you can probably run a 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 setup without any issues. That will not give you a stretched look.
