The rears should fit easily, but will the fronts need huge spacers, the calipers up front are monsters (am I out of luck for an aggressive setup?). I'd like to do something like some Work VS-XX... Or some Work Gnosis (step-lip) 20's. I LOVE Meisters, but I want 20's. Any advice is helpful (I will be dropping it for fitment on some coils if that makes any difference and doing a minor tire stretch). Last question, is the Work 2D Chrome for the VS-XX too 'blingy' for the G? Thanks in advance
aggressive offsets will work BUT you just won't have as much lip cuz of the BBK.
20" VS-XX even comes with a T-disk, which offers even more clearance than R-disk. not sure if it's offered to here in the states tho.
chrome works only on black cars, imo.

yeah... cuz it's da shiet (partially biased)

20*9.5 et 24 255/30/20 Yoko S-Drives
20*10.5 et 15 275/30/20 Yoko S-Drives

I was thinking 20mm front and 15mm rear.....Or should I run a 225/35 upfront w/ a 25mm spacer?
for fronts, without changing rubber:
you'd need plenty of camber... like at LEAST -2.0.
i'd say anything +5 offset and below, you'll rub on the top fender and on the clip where bumper attaches to the body cuz of your 255/30.

for fronts, with changing rubber:
you probably won't need as much camber... -2.0 is good enough.
you can go 0 or lower but you'll still rub on the clip on hard turn and up driveways.
225/35 is perfect... 245/30 is kinda too thin for me... 235/30 is

for rears, without changing rubber:
man, you're gonna need a flat roll with pull to not rub.
that is with +5 and lower. 275/30 is just too wide.

for rears, with changing rubber:
255/35 is perfect... 245/35 is a bit too stretched for me.

fyi, my set-up is:
F: 20x9.5 +0 - 235/35 generals
R: 20x10.5 +3 - 255/35 generals
bout -2 camber all around.
dropped on GF210's with springmount mod.
rolled flat fronts and rears, slight pull rears - done by shane.
front clips bent upwards.
i rub on large freeway dips and up driveways.
i shoulda gone with 225/35 up front.

Loooks good HXS!

We have pretty much same lip size except u got like .4 inches on me in the rear

right now Ima try sell my wheels and then watch out....it's gonna get crazy

if they don't sell i'll just push them out as far as possible....probably just go 0 all around and pull the shi* outta my fenders.

I kinda like the flush full tire look.....trying to be different

Hey guys I'm wanting to put spacers on my rear wheels and don't know which spacers to get. The hub centric ones or the non-hub centric ones. I have the WORK VS-XX, 20x11 +19 rear on 275/30 Falken FK452. Thinking about a 10mm or a 15mm spacer for the rear. I'm lowered 1.2 rear but goin a inch lower next week. Would so which spacers I nee and would I need to change tire size too or just more neg camber?

I just bought some 19" staggered zenetti stellas in chrome. The fronts are 8.5 and rears 9.5. The tires on them now are fronts are 235/35/19 and the rears are 265/30/19. I have an 04 sedan. I plan on lowering on 350z suspension and want to avoid rolling fenders. I doubt the the rears tire will fit. What is the ideal tire size for me to run. From what I've read maybe 225/35 front and 245/35 rear. Thoughts.

Should fit brembo, depending upon pad clearance and no need to roll fenders....pretty weak offsets
