Exclamation Its Christmas... I need some good fitment.

Recently I let my tire setup go...
Needed tires to get to school and got a good deals on these, but they just look like trash on my car.

Anyways I was thinking a semi-aggressive / clean setup. I lack knowledge in tires/offsets/etc.

As of now :
-235/40/18 on all 4

FRONT:
-350z Htechs ( 1 degree neg camber )
-10mm spacer

REAR:
-350z Htech with spring mount cut
-15mm spacer


wheel gap V booo.






help?
Trying to keep away from dropin a lot of $$$ on bigger rims + tires, but would like to see what everyone thinks.

Any input on a good solution for a good wheel fitment. No wheel gap/ flush and semi-aggressive. Should i just put bigger spacers? Get 19" rims? Larger tires? What makes the most sense for a solution/

I would think springs or coilovers would help you with no wheel gap. I wouldn't go with bigger tires. If you decide to go with springs, I would go with a z aftermarket spring cause they will give you a more aggressive drop.

Maybe this pic will help you with the fitment. This is a pic of the rear wheel 19x10 +20 offset with 275 35 tires on a sedan. Fenders havent been rolled.



How wide are the 18's you have?

that looks so dumb i can fit a 19x10+24 with a 245

johnny you needa downgrade those tire sizes.

But heist just get coilovers, and lower your ride thatll pretty much solve your problem as for your semi aggressive fitment id go 19x9+20 235/35 19x10+25 255/35

^ lol.. I agree on both statements. I just put those wheels on for a test fit. Ur post made me realize that i misposted. Those are actually 19x10 +20 instead of 19x9, I agree there is too much tire.

I have debated just getting coils, but it is not going to fix camber and thats another chunk of money to fix that correct? Plus I scrap constantly on my rookie front haha.

So from my understanding all I can do with my current setup is bigger spacers and taller tires really right? Unless I want coils or new rims.

If you get coils and slam it, you will need a camber kit. As for scraping, 19's will raise you up slightly so if you decided to get new rims go with 19's.

Bigger spacer and taller tires is what you need if you want to stick with your current setup.

LMK if you decide to sell your spacers.

so your wheels are 18x8 +40 all around. then you have 10mm spacer front and 15 rear. making it a total of +30f and +25r.

i honestly think they are fine for now. tires for 19 inch wheels are a lot more then 18. Coilovers is still a good amount of money as well. Spending $200 on spacers for a little more flush isn't going to make you that much more satisfied with the car. But i would try that 15mm in the front to see how that looks. 15mm in the front is what it looks like to be almost flush in the front.

yeah for now it looks like I should just settle with putting the 15mm spacer in the front and getting a 20mm for the back.

235/40/18 is just too short of a tire for the G in coupe or sedan
applications. You want to keep overall tire diameter in the 26-inch to
27-inch max range. I had 235/40/18s on my coupe 18s and it was ok in
the front due to ride height but it bugged the crap out of me in the
back. I now have 245/45/18 on all fours for winter use (i'll admit, a
bit big), but they fill out the wells a lot better.

If you dont want to change wheels, look into a 235/45/18 setup or just
find a new wheel and tire package that meets YOUR needs. After seeing
this picture, all I can suggest is some gold Forgestar f14's in sedan
sizes (19x8.5+15/20 and 19x10+30) and then you'd be golden!
