i didnt even know about this im down to go paul... where did you hear this from?

 

Hey thanks! i guess they aren't too bad of a buy...hmm

Ok lets see about spacers... i'm very bad at math so let's try to figure this out..

the stock offset and size of my rims now are the following:

Front
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm

Rear
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm

The offset on the new rims are 35+

So if i added a half an inch to the front rim... thats like adding 8mm...since 8mm is half an inch...if its 19x8.5 front.. at 35+.. it should be equivelant to 19x8.0 at 27+?.... so in order to make it look more flush with the fender, i would need a 10mm spacer up front or maybe 15? if i wanna put 19X8.5's....

the rear is 19x9.5 which is a full inch and a half bigger than the stock rear so that's like adding 24mm.....so technically its like my 19x9.5 at 35+ is really the 18x8 at 11+ So i should be able to get away with 10mm in the rear too then..

The 20mm spacers up front and 25 for the rear on stock wheels makes the wheels almost flush to the fender.

My logic is probably off in left field somewhere and i'm inside playing pool...

Does it seem with 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with a full 35+ offset, 10mm and 15mm spacers would be about right to make it close to flush to the fenders?

I wanna get it close enough to where i can lower the car 1 inch and not have to roll the fenders... lol

EDIT... ok.. so the tires matters too obviously..

245/35/19 and 275/45/19..

 

lol its all good man i like the wheels you got they will look good.

 

im no expert on spacers but I think your calculations are pretty accurate...

paul what meet is that that your talking about??

 

i guess when the wheels come and i put them on.. i'll adjust fire and shoot.

 

^^ good plan there is a guy selling spacers in the mid a market place right now if they arent sold yet

 

i've seen that.. but i think they are 25mm...

i'mma double check.

 

paul likes to keep his meets secret

and he likes to give me **** for my rotas with volk stickers

 

yea they are 25mm..

that would probably make my wheels stick out way past the fenders and make my car look like a mexican low rider lol..

 

I have 25's on all four corners.

Honestly, depending on your offsets, they might not stick out that much.

 

oh? what size rims and tires?

i would be doing this for a 19x8.5 and 19x9.5

so in essence...if i'm 30mm all the way around...and stock 18x8's look flush with 20mm front and 25mm rear...then i really can't see how the 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 rims wouldn't stick past the fenders with 25mm...

but i could be wrong in my calculation.

 

So i just skimmed over the DIY spring installation for the g35... i assumed it's close to the 350z...

Just need a warm weekend lol...

 

^^ its easy

 

I couldnt see the pics.. but i can't imagine it to be

I've never even used a spring compressor.. i just get it loose enough to the point where the top nut is gonna pop... lay it on the ground.. the rear faces an empty space and the top faces an empty space.. i stand on top of the spring and just POP DA NUT hahahahaha... ahh ****

Anyways..... Wifey bought me a dewalt 345lb electric impact wrench so hopefully i can get to a lot of the stuff easily with it.. LOVE TOOLS!!!

 

lol sounds like a fun ride

 

Mike with the Blue Z on craigslist tried to sell me them XXR's lol... back in the beg of summer hahaha

 

hahah how much was he asking?? like 1500??LMAO

 

Wait... did it look just like the ones i got? do you know if they looked ok?

 

these are like 450 on ebay LOL .... **** the tires costs more than the rims shipped!

i just decided it was so much easier to just get it all at once and balanced so i said fock it.. i'll pay the 1375 lol

 

OH! you can't curse?! Wat the Fock is up with that! lol

I guess i'll watch it with the cursing lol
