Haha nothing I find more incredible than someone who can afford a G35 (with its horrible MPG) + Coilovers but can't afford a camber/toe kit...but apparently have limitless amounts of money for tires. Please do us all a favor and sell your car before you ruin it for the next owner.

I've been searching for a while now and cant get any solid answers to my concerns. Just bought a 2003 sedan and looking to run these specs. What fender work do I need to make them fit?
Front:
18x9.5 +22
225/40
Rear:
18x9.5 +14
235/40/18 tire.
stock / 0 camber.

Front will be fine. Rear might need a slight roll depending how low you are. You have coils?

Going to have either PBM or ISC in a true coilover style. Trying to stay away from a major pull but still be flush.

Considering switching my wheels from 18s to 19", most likely Work, on my Sedan (rwd)

Want to know the max specs I can run without fender rolling. I have oem 350z suspension now, but will be getting coilovers with dampening adjustment before the wheels.

Want to run 19X9.5 +20 something front, 19X10.5 +32 or +25 rear.

Have considered 10" up front but dont want to run into major fitment issues.

Thanks!

Are you guys scared of fender rolling? I keep seeing it. "I don't want to have to roll the fenders."

It's such a normal thing to do and it's so EASY!

2003 G35 sedan

Would a 18x9 +25 rim work on all four corners? If so, what size tire would be good? Car is at the original ride hight. If not, what offset would be best. I get lost trying to figure offset.

Thank you

I'm on BC racing coilovers and I'm getting really bad wear on the inside of the tires do I need to get front adjustable control arms and a rear camber kit to stop this. If so what would you guys recommend?

You need adjustable control arms as well as eccentric toe bolts in the back.

SPC for the toe bolts, SPC, Eibach or SPL for the rear arms, and SPC, Eibach, or Kinetix for the front arms.

My current rims is 18x7.5 +45 offset oem sport wheels Planning to purchase a set of staggered rims I'm currently on stech springs the setup I'm planning on running is 18x8 +40 on the fronts and 18x9.5 +40 on the rear my main concern is that how much clearance do I have in the rear because according to a rim tire calculator the rim will sit 0.8inch closer to the strut and I'm not too sure what the camber is at as of right now since I just installed the springs and haven't got to the alignment shop yet


Here is a photo of where I stand now

As long as you're not AWD the staggered won't be an issue.
If you want to know actually clearance, get under the car with a tape measure and make s**t happen. Most likely you'll have plenty of room for that type of offset but I'd look into something lower, around 20s/30s.

what is the best amount of camber to run for the best handling is it just to keep it within the factory range or 1.9-0.9 and also what are the best control arms for the front i just need something that's not to expensive and will do the job i already have spc camber arms in the back.

Man..fukc..do you know that the internet exists? I mean..you must, right?

Now I know why all these veteran members get salty when dikcheads ask dumb questions.. No offense..

There is no fukcin such thing as "perfect camber". (NOW HEAR THIS!!! TAKE HEED!! [at least take a fukcin note!!!]}

It is dependant on the roads you normally drive. Try doing a bit of research/learning and finding out what the words in your question mean. It all becomes self explanatory at that point. I promise
