any drop will bring them in.

 

Whats your tire setup? They look huge!

 

get some center caps ASAP!! and some new lug nuts.. Using stock lug nuts on high end Volk rims is like leaving your front door open if your house is mansion... they can get stolen in less than 1 minute!

 

Looks like the back of the car sticks up in the air. Maybe just the angle of the photo.

 

My tire setup is in my signature, but front is 265/35/19 and rear is 285/35/19 is back. They are a new potenza tire that is supposedly just sick and I am lovingthem. Called re11's I believe.

Will a camber kit not help bringthem in at all? I was hoping for some modest inward movement to keep me satisfied till coilovers but if not then I may just go all out now and get both to really set them where I want.

The lug nuts are NOT stock ones. Try are "tuner" ones with a ke, but I must say that I did not think they were very good lookng or special in any way. Is there any I should check out that would be ideal?

Thanks for the input guys! I appreciate the feedback. I have always loved this forum for the great feedback so keep it up!

Peace/love/joy

 

Davidv, I'm not sure why it would look like that as I have no suspension mods yet, but if that is the case at all due to these wheels a coilover kit should fix that. I've had my eye on the nismo S tune, but there is not much in terms of adjustability. I was thinking about the teins with the control box inside, but I think that's a bit excessive. So I am on opposite ends of the spectrum on this issue. I think it would be awesome to have different dampening settings and a good "wow" factor, but I don do much track driving as of late so a good overall street setup would probably be my best bet. Any thoughts on what company to go with as I'm not lookng for much drop due to road conditions, but want the wheels brought in a bit and better performance overall

 

You are better off waiting until you get coilovers. When you lower the car, the wheels camber in by them selves. Then you can use the camber and toe kit to fine tune where you want it to sit.

Bilstein is a good coilover for street setup. They have a very smooth ride.

 

unfortunately with that offset in the rear and 285/35, you are gonna first roll your rear fenders. then dial in about -2.5 camber if lower aggressively. this will lead to premature inner tire wear and horrible straight line traction not to mention the horrible crab walk look.

 

I have that same key for an old set of lugs I used to use. Where do you live again?

 

I'm in Kansas but moving out to Cali in a month. Terrible straight line traction? I am NOT looking to slam it. Just the opposite in fact. Looking to lower it very little but just make myself happier with the stance and overall handling

 

Camber will help pull the top of the tire in but it will look rediculous at the height you're at. I would suggest at least springs or coilovers with SPC or other adjustable camber/toe arms to pull off the look.

Stance coilovers are nice, offer plenty adjustability, and are relatively inexpensive. As far as Tein's with the EDFC, really, you're not going to be changing stiffness riding down the road anyway. It's a waste of money IMHO.

 

Thanks jduet, that's what I wanted to hear. I will be looking for a coilover set that I can set and forget along with the camber kit. If I make it outto the track this summer I'll be able to do some adjustments i guess unless I get the nismo to keep with the trend (have other nismo parts already) does nismo make a good camber kit at a reasonable price? I just haven't heard a bad thing about the nismo s tune except lack of adjustability, so I don't think I could go wrong with them. They only lower like 20mm too so that would probably be just about right. Any other suggestion on coilovers that would lower similarly but have some adjustability in height?

I know someone with work equipts 10.5 in the rear with a 7mm offset and 275/30 tires. The car is slammed and the wheels sit flush. Im suprised your not cutting your tires with 285 and stock quarter pannels. Im pretty sure you will have to role if not cut your fenders and run some negative camber to fit these.

EDIT. And this persons wheels sit flush with a do luck wide body.

 

If you're rubbing you can: add camber and/or roll fenders and/or get thinner tires.

There are guys on here (Royal T et. all) running much wider wheels with much much lower offsets.

I'm rolling my fenders on Sunday and putting on my GTS's, I'll post pics up so you can see how it's done. (Wheel specs are 19x10.5 +18f, 19x10.5 -2 rear with 245/35/19 tires

Get rid of those rear tires, too big bro!!! I had the same problem cause I got gts in same size rears and tried fitting 285's bfg on them haha! Here's a link! This guy also has same offset on the rears! It will give you the direction you need to go to have these suckers looking sick!

post pics bro, killer offsets btw!!!

 

Sure will

 

tires are too big? no the wheels have horrible offsets. they arent suppose to fit this car. having to down size tires to fit a wheel is retarded.
