Is your sedan AWD? This will better determine what tires sizes you need if you choose to run a staggered set up on AWD.
Nope, I just have the base. And I don't want anything too low pro as I have a lot of rough roads in my area. I was thinking I may have to push a bit of negative camber in the rear to clear everything.

If you want a little stretch 225/45 and 245/40 will work fine. You can change the widths either way but I'd keep the 45/40 profile the same unless you want a huge sidewall.

My set up is:
Front @20"x 9.5 +19 A Disc
Rear @ 20"x 10.5 + 17 O Disc.
Tires: F 245/35/20 R 275/35/20

Ive done some reaserch and it seems that with this setup just rolling fenders flat F& R i should be ok with no rubbing. As far as suspension ive got BC coilovers, SPC rear camber kits.

Could you guys give me some insite? I just placed the order and would hate to have the wrong offset.

base on some info here, theres a guy running this setup and from the picture it seems to be nice and flush and not alot of negative camber. According to the info hes running 19x9.5 +19 front, 19x10.5+17 rear.

Heres the pic:








I apreciate you help!

Thank you for the help, appreciated! I saw Eibach makes a pretty simple camber kit that offers +/-3 toe for less than $100. Think I'll pick those up for now, maybe camber arms in the future

Lowering x on 20s

hey I have a 05 g35x and I am going to lower with h&r springs and put 20s on (20x8.5 35 mm offset 245/35-20) all around. Will I have rubbing issues with being lowered on 20s? I don't want to have to roll my fenders.

03 g35 sedan new wheels

I got new oem wheels for my 03 g35 the back tires are 215/55/17 which is normal because thats what the spare size was but the front tires were 205/45/17 and when i put them on its started messing with my brake and my abs,vdc off, and slip lights came on is it because of the small tirees?

Help with tire wear...

Hi, I hope to get some help with this.

I have a 2004 G35 Sedan with 350z springs running on 19 inch 2009 g37 wheels... The tires are 225/40/19 in the front and 245/40/19 in the back...

When I did the alignment, the mechanic told me that the car cannot be aligned and that tires will wear out faster on the inside... He than quoted me $1500 to get some extreme control arms in the front and extreme camber kit in the rear.

Front Left Tire is -1.0 Camber
Front Right Tire is -1.7 Camber
Rear Left Tire is -1.7 Camber
Rear Right Tire is -1.3 Camber

I do not have any spacers on the car and wanted to get some information on what my options are, as I do not have $1500 to get the cambers and control arms replaced...

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

You can get an spc camber kit front and rear for between 600 -700. Maybe lower. That's not shipped. If you keep a close eye on the for sale area you could get it cheaper. Should be able to get it installed a good bit less than 700-800. I would save for the front kit first. Then the back. Your back tires won't wear as fast as the front.

Thanks for the quick reply... when I searched for spc camber kit I can only find the rear one, not the front... Do you mean front Extreme Control Arms??

350Z/G35 FRT ALIGN ARMS (PR) cost $914.

Thanks

Google G35 spc front camber kit. Z1 motorsports has them for $428. You might be able to find them cheaper. That was the first site that I went to.

Thank You , I just sent PM to a few vendors on this forum and will wait for response...

ImportPartsPro just quoted me $525 Shipped for Front and Rear SPC Camber Kit... That is a good deal... Is there any other parts I will need for the tire wear to stop.

Just to clarify if I need to change the front control arms as the mechanic suggested or changing the front and rear camber will fix the problem for Camber and Toe being in the negative on alignment.



Thanks again.

It's a RWD machine and with those camber numbers the rears will usually wear sooner than the fronts

Going by my experience. I am running -2.0 camber in the front and -2.5 in the rear. And the fronts definitely wear faster. More weight in the front because of the engine. Doesn't have to do with it being rwd. When you adjust the camber back in spec it will adjust the toe too. I am not saying it will go back in spec by just adjusting the camber. The toe will have to be adjusted too. The rear kit comes with toe bolts. You need to install those also.

-1 isn't all that bad, get SPC Camber Bolts for the rear (you'll need 4 bolts total, 2 sets) these allow toe adjustment to +/- 3 or so, Amazon sells them https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000IYFZ5S/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_35oLvb2MKW7KH you can also probably go for some cheaper camber arms on eBay for the front. If this is just for street use you don't need to go crazy
