That looks real nice. 18s are just fine on the sedans. I think it really helps with the aero kit. Otherwise the black strip at the bottom makes the sedans look higher off the ground unless you have a black car. Thanks for putting up those nice pics. I think they'll help alot of people. I like the 245/45 on there also. Helps fill in the front and back of the wheel well. The Wheels look great too. Whats the offset on those wheels?

Beautiful wheel/drop combo. I love those PIAAs. What is the offset? Also, does anyone know if they are available in a staggered combo for the sedan and will they clear big brakes? I also want to get 18s but want to run 245s front and 265sor 275s in the rear.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Headpaneer------the PIAA's offset is 50mm, I am running 5mm spacers on all four wheels to bring the offset to 45mm. I am not sure if they will clear a big brake kit. I have only seen staggered combo's for the Coupe with the PIAA wheels.

jdbinspired-------the tein basics are not set at its lowest point, they can go lower.

Thumbs up

That is one fantastic looking car.

Do you have problem with speed bumps and driveways?

I have had the Tein Basics for a couple years on my car (non g35) with the pillowball mounts and they are excellent. I like the little "pshhhh" sound when you go over a bump. Have been excellent and held up well. I took mine to a tuner shop for the initial alignment and all is well. At ~2.5" lower than stock only bottomed once and that was on a speedbump going too fast

Your car looks excellent, wheels do look tiny (almost look like 17's) but eh you like the size. I think if they were pushed a bit further out and less tucked would be even better. I do like the style a lot though.

jedmonds - are the camber kits a must? or can they be aligned w/o it? Also, is the drop height adjustable? The drop that you have is set to the min. or somewhere in between? Would really appreciate your input since i'm on the fence about getting this one.
