Not to threadjack here, but i'm curious. How does your car sit with the 20's and the Tanabe DF210's?

everything
Sounds like your suspension is shot. Im on 255/35 and 285/30s. I think it rides better than my OEMs. Going to a 35 in the front instead of a 30 isnt gonna do much. Add 1/2", if that, to the overall diameter.

Buy some coilovers... then you can set it at any height you want.

How is the stretch? Is it super aggressive? I am considering running 235/35 and 265/35 on the same 20x8.5/10 setup. I'm afraid of driving on stretched tires though so I've been hesitating. Looks like you are even more stretched than that?

265 on a 10" wheel would look a bit stretched but it'll be fine...245 on a 10" wheel is kinda crazy imo. I personally hate the look of tires that are too stretched.

how about on a 06 G35x?

I was thinking about going with a 20x8.5 rims w/ +38 offset. I dont want to lower my ride just yet but needed some info before buying new rims for my ride. Is there really that much of a difference between 245/35 and 245/30 tire size in terms of rubbing and ride quality issues?

any help would be cool
