I'm Running a staggered setup on Michelin PS4s 245/40/19 Front +35 285/35/19 Rear +45, Dropped on BC Coils w/ Swift springs, about 1.3 inches in the front, 1.2 in the back, still playing with the levels.
They're Velgen VMB5s Matte Silver, I contacted one of the sales people and they give me an incredibly good price for all 4. I'm looking to put a lot better pics up soon once I detail her up.
Thanks for the specs, is that a 9"/10.5" width on the wheels?
Are those Niché Targa wheels also? I have yet to see anyone else running them on a G. I saw them on a Mustang and a Charger on their website. Seems a little more suited to the luxury sports sedans to my eye but to each their own. Your ride looks fantastic!
I have had my eyes on a set of Vossen wheels that I may swap over to. FYI, my setup is staggered 8.5 front & 10" rear, Toyo Proxes on all four. I believe I have 175s in the rear. They are a bit too stretched fit for me. I will try to find a better dimension next go round.
To compliment Dopeness on his amazing ride, I also want to finally submit my own. Thanks to everyone here with endless research and advice. Here she is.
Car looks good overall but, it appears you have "slammed" the front and created negative camber while the rear seems high with positive camber. Looks like a handling nightmare that will tear up tires. Has it been aligned and is that your planned ride height or is it the angle of the pic?
Was going to wash her on the weekend, but its been raining for a few days straight. not going to wait anymore, posted this in the "what did you do to your sedan today" thread, but want to show it off some more haha.

You're correct about the front negative camber. I didn't have the last part shipped out in time in order to correct it. I had to take it back for emergency trip. Its going back to correct and realign everything.

I'd be proud to show those off too! Great color combo w/ the black body and wheel shade. And best of all, a very high quality job

some of us recognized the wheel center and cap to be Velgen VMB5's. thank you for the specs. I for one would appreciate more photos particularly displaying the rear tire. Is it tucked? Are you running a rear camber kit?
Beautiful! And in what for my X sedan would be the ultimate drop.

Yes, I am running a rear camber kit currently, its not all the way tucked, about 1 1/2 fingers gap depending on your finger size lol. Once I take it in and straighten out my front camber tmmrw, I will provide pics of each wheel from the top and sides so you can see how it will set. I'm just waiting a few weeks to let my coils and swift spring settle, that way I can start adjusting it more accurately for a flush or tucked look.
I'm not sure I understand what you meant "And in what for my X sedan would be the ultimate drop"..

By "tucked" I meant does that 285/35/19 rear tire appear outside the fender well.
LOL, I'd read your posts on my phone and assumed you had a RWD sedan. I'm now on my desktop and after viewing your posted rear photos now realize that you too own a G37XS!
Okay, I'm now anxious to learn more about how to tuck that Velgen 10.5" rear to an X sedan. I'd been reluctant to acquire the VMB5 because the rears only came in a 10.5" wide rim. Judging by your install, that 10.5" rear rim on an X sedan is a non issue? BTW, I've got 10" rear wheels at the moment, but I'm not enamored with the CF10 wheels themselves.
Thank you for posting more information on your setup!
