Yeah, you did it. Good chart man, it is badass.

I am thinking of doing something REALLY crazy, but I have to sell my G, as I can't pay for it anymore.

Anyone want a 2004 6MT base model sedan with 28k highway miles? $20k

 

higher offset = in towards the wheel well.
lower offset = out towards the outside.

Keep in mind, the fitment chart I made is with respect to stock ride height and offset.
You'll want to compensate for the drop in ride height and the associated negative camber. In your case, that amount to ~ 7-8mm of displacement (towards the right). Aiming for anything that's around the 'outside fender line' is ideal. If you can, try to stay on the right side of this fender line so rubbing is not an issue. You'll see the 8.5, +38 I suggested is just a mm off the line ... perfect.

 

Clint I have the original one that has your screen name at the top. I had it emailed to me to see if it was any different. I didn't even notice that some a-hole put their screen name at the top.

 

Hmmm ... interesting, you're saying someone pasted over my name? That is classic!!!

 

I just purchases some C4's for my Sedan in the following sizes:
Front: 19x8.5 +38mm
Rear: 19x9.5 +45mm

Now I just need to purchase tires for the wheels. I have Tein Basics installed and configured with about a 2" drop. Should I go with:

A) Front: 225/40/19
Rear: 255/35/19
OR
B) Front: 245/35/19
Rear: 245/35/19

With setup A it may look better because the rear tires are approx. 1.2 inches wider then the front tires, more of a staggered look. But with setup B I have much more of a tire selection because it's a more common size.

Any issues with setup A and the rear fender or setup B and the front suspension? Would rather not roll the rear fender and definitely don't want my front tires rubbing against the front suspension. Any advice much appreciated. It would be great if we had a forum for just Sedan wheels versus the current Sedan/Coupe wheels since the requirements of each are a bit different. Just my .02 cents.

 

That's an ok setup to go with.
The rear is somewhat more agressive than ideal, but still workable. It shouldn't rub if you leave the rear camber as is after the 2" drop. However, sacrificing suspension settings in the interest of others is not my way of doing things. I would personally bring the rear camber up back closer to at least -1.8* or less and use a some fender rolling/cutting to boot.

With respect to handling trait ... A's not a great choice as there's too little rubber up front. You'll experience quite a bit of understeer when the car's hussled. Also, 225 is on the skinny side for a 8.5" wide wheel.

On the other hand B's got two issues. If you are looking to run 245/245 non-staggered setup F-R, then why didn't you just use 8.5" wide wheels all around? That'll give you the luxury of rotating tires in any possible combinations.

The other issues being the 245 for the rear 9.5" wide wheel is also too narrow. I would recommend at least 255 sized rubber on them. 275 will also work nicely and that is in fact how most people pair their 245 fronts.

How much did you pay for your C4s? and where you get them from?

thanks

 

I agree, 225 does not sound like the ideal option on an 8.5 wheel, would much rather see 245x35 in front.

The reason I wanted to go with 255 max in the rear was to possibly avoid cutting/rolling the fenders. It sounds like this is less and less likely now unless I really sacrifice optimizing my suspension. I PM'd another Sedan owner and he mentioned that even with a 275/35 tire and rolled fenders he still rubbed and consequently had to order 265's but he was running a 19x9.5+42 offset in the rear, maybe those 3mm made the difference.

Thanks for the great feedback THX723. It sounds like 245x35 FR / 275x35 RR is the ideal setup, anyone know a good bay area shop to cut/roll fenders on a G?!

 

Sent you a PM Ts916G35. I got them at Gruppe-S btw, great shop.

 

Indeed 3mm is a lot and will make a world of difference. Also, I might suggest running 275/30-19 instead of 275/35-19 instead. That'll also buy you additional slack.

 

245/35 and 275/30

 

Clint,

If camber is corrected back to 0, is 8.5", +38 still the best size, offset to use? Thanks.

 

In that case ... it won't be as ideal. Look for +42 offset instead.

But, don't get too carried away with wanting to cut negative camber to zero. 0* camber is not actually a great thing for handling. REAR factory nominal camber spec is actually around -0.6 degrees and up to nearly -1.2 degrees is still consider 'in spec'. Instead ... focus a little more on getting your toe in check. Adjust the camber to match your setup if possible. IMHO anywhere below -2.0* camber is workable.

I personally run -1.8* front and -1.7* rear camber, with zero toes. Tire wear is excellent. YMVV!

Also, front camber isn't adjustable unless you decide to replace it w. an aftermarket upper A-arm.

245/35R19- real close to front spindle arm , but fits nicely
No drop

 

not to threadjack but a ? thx723 how about the fit on 19x8 +38 advan kreuzers with 245/35/19 all around and 350z h-tech springs. Im at 1.6 all around on camber right now and its handles awesome. Just liek to pick your brain as my wheels are due to be here in mid may
