This price seems too good to be true... I bet they won't sell 4 front or 4 rear. $171.76/178.54.

There's been a couple guys on here that already bought sets of these, so although it sounds crazy good, it is legit

Would the 8.5" rims all the way around on a RWD look ok on both stock suspension and swift springs?
Would it be better to get the staggered setup 9" rear and "8.5 front?
What's the best tire choice for either case?
I haven't decided yet if I want to drop the car.

To confirm, is the below correct?
d0300 jj125 - 9"
d0300 jl125 - 8.5"

The stagger is so minimal I wouldn't bother, plus running a square setup means you can do a true 4 wheel rotation. I'd run the 8.5s w/ 245/40/19s all around.

Most that drop on springs just put the springs on OEM struts, it most likely will shorten the struts' life but, the springs are designed for such applications. If you can swing new shocks you then start to get into basic coilover pricing which gives you more flexibility.
And yes, the ride will be firmer w/ lowering springs, especially if you combine that w/ bigger wheels & low profile tires.

Granted I have an X but that's the set up I'm running right now. Looks and handles awfully good.

These are forged rays engineering wheels right? Did you happen to find out the weight of the wheels are they light like the g35 19" Rays were?

I believe those are Enkeis (as are the rest of the Infiniti lineup). I believe the only Rays now would be on the 370z and possibly GTR
Should be about the same weight as the other Enkei OEM 19s, in the mid 20 lb range.

These are made by RAYS, but they are not forged. They seem to weight about the same as my 18" sport wheels from holding both.

I posted some pics in the swift springs thread and the show off your sedan thread. I'd post on here but don't have any pics with me as I'm out of town currently.

I just ordered a set of the Anniversary rims at that magical price. Still available. Got the 8.5's. Some on here say they are 43 offset some say 30...

NC charges tax too - that sucked a bit...
