rubbing?

Hey guys,
I currently have the 19" stock rims on my 2007 G35 coupe and i'm looking to upgrade to aftermarket rims... I like the size of the 19" and i dont want to go any bigger so i'm gonna keep it at 19... I like the R1 Racing Drift rims with the stagged set up of 19x8.5 in the front with 245/35/19 falkin fk-452 and 19x9.5 in the rear with 275/35/19 falkin fk-452... i want to lower the car just a little bit too.. i'd say an inch...looking at the Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Kit my questions are:
a. Am i going to be rubbing at all with this set up?
b. Will I need camber kit for lowering it that much?
c. i've read good reviews about the falkins but just wondering if anyone has an opinion on them

is it a coupe or sedan? I am lowered about an inch front and rear and I would suggest a camber kit, I need them on mine since I noticed a significant difference in camber wear on my tires.

I had the FK-452's on my Lexus IS350 and my S2000 and they were good tires. I really like the Hankook V12's, Bridgestone RE050a also.... I used to use only Toyo's but I noticed that they wear faster, but then again I drive my cars hard.

Lots better tires out there than the Falkens. In addition to this post^^ I would highly recommend you look at the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta. Awesome tires for the price.

I recently replaced Falkens with the Hankook Ventus V12's and am a lot happier with the new tires.

no u shouldn't rub, matter of fact your wheels would probably tuck in. no camber kit need with a 1 in drop.

Hey allstar did you get the r1 racing drift rims? I have the oem 19" rays forged and I made some bad decisions and ended up driving up a curb and have a little dent in the front rim. I don't know if it can be fixed or if I should get new rims. I was looking at the 19" r1 racing drift rims but I'm just hoping that going from oem forged to aftermarket doesn't have a downgrade in performance. How did the r1's work out for you?
