wow that's a sweet score seriously... for that price I wouldn't mind using those as a winter setup although the bigger the diameter the more expensive the tire so I'm good with my stock sport sedan 18s for winter, speaking of which gotta get 2 rear performance winter tires

Here is mine with the IPL wheels taken with a Sony Xperia Z2 phone camera for now but another photoshoot is due

As promised, here's the pictures from after the drop, spacers, and alignment. Specs are as follows:

Staggered G37s Coupe wheels
245/40/19F
255/30/19R
Tien S-Tech springs
25mm spacers F
20mm spacers R

I only rub in the front when I hit a big dip on the highway, but that's it. I am probably going to go 275/35 in the rear to get a little more meat on the road, there's still plenty of room for activities.

 

^WOW looks amazing

Any chance you have photos prior to drop and spacers, for reference?

 

The first pictures is a direct comparison of just wheels/wheels, drop, spacers. A couple pages ago I posted a picture of just wheels and drop.

 

^gotcha, thanks. Again, looks great.

Long shot but anyone have photos of coupe wheels with 245/45/19 tires & OEM suspension?

Hoping it looks good & doesn't necessitate a/m suspension (not trying to lower the car due to roads in the area)

 

These are Goodyear F1 Asymmetric AS. That size all around. No drop.

 

^looks good to me, thanks!

 

Are ya getting powder coating done? If so, what color are you going for?

 

DAmn he goin hard. I aspire to have a stance like that. **** minus the spoilers I would probably hope my car looks similar, cept maybe i go gunmetal on the wheels, not sure yet. Or, actually I could do the roof spoiler, but no trunk spoiler, that would be different and something you dont see. Regardless man yours goes very hard.

 

Yes eventually, likely gunmetal but not too dark, thinking Audi's "Titanium"

Busy with work + school, giving myself til the end of the month to get them done, your guy busy?

 

Thanks brother! It's hard to tell from the pictures but the wheels are painted a LIGHT gunmetal color. OEM is almost like a bright silver and mine are a few shades darker just to take away some of the bling bling factor. I'm going to be matching my window trim, and emblems (minus the "S") to the wheels to get a cleaner look in the near future.

 

Sorry if this was answered already but I am still confused about what I want to do next and was considering running some 19x9's up front and 19x10 or if they fit 19x11's in back, which may require at the least rolling the rear fenders but I am willing to cross that bridge if I have to for a better jump off the line. But I also don't want to screw up the drive train or transmission. I wouldn't even think about running staggered setup's on any of the g35's (2006 models, 2 x sedans and a 6spd) I owned but have been reading posts on this topic and often hear someone is running such a set up on their own G37x or G37xS. I occasionally my 09 g37xS sedan if launched to hard will go into the awd default mode and the "AWD" dash light blinks until I either stop, go back into park and then restart the car (the car doesn't even try to engage awd, granted that's only happen on cold pavement with my old all season tires) it will just smoke the tires. I actually have gone all the way into 3rd with my tires smoking on on occasion before I thought, "uhh, it's an awd car, I shouldn't be doing this and stopped) My only question is how much room is there for the tires circumference being different from front to back on an awd g37xS. How many rotations per mile is usually listed in tire specs s mentioned in the specs of a tire and I have used that method on a modified rwd Dodge Dakota R/T and a fwd srt Neon. But it is the first time I had this type of issue. The last thing I want is to damage the drive train or transmission on the 7spd.

 

I currently have this staggered set up on my sedan with the 275/35/19 in the rear.

Has anyone tried having a square set up with 275/35/19's running all around? Will I be encountering any issues with this set up?

Thank you.

 

Check this thread, there's a couple guys running 275/20s squared up

If you want better traction off the line go w/ the best tires you can afford. Width to a point will help, but going super wide, pulling the fenders, etc won't help as much as the tires w/ the best grip and running lighter wheels.
Wider tires will have a better "planted" feel, that's the one thing I really like about my 295s, and the aggressive staggered look. If you're really driving your AWD super hard I'd go squared and run like 255 or 265s all around.
