Looking to go with a semi-conservative setup for the summer and wondering if the direction I'm headed sounds ok. I have a 2007 G35S sedan and was thinking I could get away with 19's and a light drop for the summer. How does this sound?

Front: 245/40-19 19x8.5 +35
Rear: 275/35-19 19x9.5 +38

Eibach springs (or suggestions for a minimal drop)

Does the setup above seem ok? Do I need to get shocks and spacers? I'm hoping the wider tires would help with the spacer issue, but didn't know if that could be avoided.

Thanks all

please?

 

Those offsets will work fine for stock height but if you plan to drop your car, you will need spacers especially up front.

 

cool, thanks! How big of spacers would I need and would the wider tires up front help with the need for spacers? They would be 20mm wider then the stock tires...

 

With those offsets, 10mm spacer front and back will make your wheels fit pretty flush on a conservative drop.

 

Thanks for all your help man, very much appreciated!

last set of questions: with all the installs I've done on cars for various things, I've never done spacers. Are they pretty easy? Also where is the best place to get the 10mm spacers? no rubbing issues?

 

You won't have any rubbing issues with those 10mm spacers with an Eibach drop. Make sure to purchase spacers that are hubcentric and that come with built-in studs. I highly recommend the H&R DRM spacers or the Project Kics spacers. Do not go with cheap ones like Ichiba and other generic poor quality ones. There are many vendors on the forum that offer these spacers.

Also here's a quick DIY for the installation. It's pretty easy. Just make sure you torque them down to spec.

 

Yeah that looks about as easy to do as I would expect, awesome!

I didn't see a 10mm option with H&R, but they did have a 15mm option see here:

15MM SPACERS HERE

15mm should still be good right? or could I go wider?

Thanks again man, very helpful!

 

It really depends how flush you want your set up to be. I personally would go with just a 10mm spacers with those tire sizing with your mild Eibach drop. If you go lower, then I'd consider 15mm spacers but I'd also go with smaller tires.

Just my .02

 

ok, so I think I'm going to go with these wheel/tire combo if it looks good:

Avant Garde M368
19x8.5 ET35
19x9.5 ET40

5x114.3 with 73.1mm centerbore
They will include the hub centric rings for the rims
10-15mm spacers (can I run both the rings and spacers?)
245/40/19 and 275/35/19 for tires
Eibach drop

 

Sizes look ok but if you use a 48mm or lower offset wheel in the rear you may have a slight fender fender rub.

 

Even on a Mild drop? I thought I would be safe

And the spacers are ok to run with the hubcentric rings?
