Sedan Chat Thread
Hey man, I just started a new job over in southpark, not sure how far you are form there... but you could check out my 19x9.5 rears (+40), anytime for reference. I am lowered now however on coupe eibach springs...there are some photos on here somewhere before it was dropped.
Do you work just weekdays or ever any time on weekends? Im at the corner of Providence and 485. ...
No cracks, but the side and seat bolsters were getting darker than the rest of the leather, with little spider web lines growing like a cancer. All gone, man. Creamy clean, taut and supple to the touch. And if I keep describing it like that, things might get weird.

Paratrooper and Lego, I also live in Charlotte. Only mod I have is the GT-R start button, LOL. Do you guys ever go to Cars and Coffee. I'd love to meet up and hear/see some mods. I have a strong need for the coupe exhaust note. I have a 2011 G37S 6MT, BO.
I have the invidia exhaust, volume wise its probably close to the coupe, but the tone is different.
Where in Charlotte are you?
Or a custom Forgestar setup where you specify your own custom offset. Or another option would be the Avant Garde bespoke series - Jason over at getyourwheels.com has some good info and could point you in the right direction, given the budget you've got.
Personally, I'm a fan of having too much positive offset because you can always subtract some offset with spacers, so you're covered for running with or without a drop. That's just my preference but it seems the rest of the industry doesn't view it the same way.

Going to C&C would mean I'd need to trade the wife an equal amount of time. And where card and coffee is free, the time she would spend at the mall or spa would not be
And don't forget your BBK. Clearance on those front calipers is iffy for most 19" rims. Usually not a problem with 20's. I had about 2mm clearance with my VOSSENS, and the OEM valve stems were hitting (because of the deep inner lip). Shorty stems fixed the second problem, and the first really wasn't a problem, but I added 3mm spacers anyway, to better match flush fitment with the rears.
Seeing clearance between the spokes and calipers the thickness of a credit card was kind of freaky.
The CF5V from Forgestar weights in at 19.8 pounds for the 19x8.5 which is pretty darn good. It's their lightest weight wheel. If you go custom offsets it may take a little longer but IMHO, it's worth it considering that you'd like to avoid a drop. I'm mulling over wheels myself right now so I'm right there with you, but want flexibility of conservative offsets (for no drop) or more aggressive with spacers if I do springs.
I already went down that road at the beginning of the year:

Haven't gone to C & C either.. more so because my wife always makes plans. I'm over here working in southpark, myself and Lego are going to meet up around lunchtime sometime next week over near carmel and 51.. you should try and meet us.

So I reachef out to Jason, his advice is 19x9.5 +40 will fit fine with no poke, and that going to +45 will cause issues with the center caps fitting
We are practically neighbors, I'm off Rea right over the county border.

I want to hear that exhaust sometime, it's not in the budget currently but it will happen at some point.

The SSRs have some nice +45 offsets in 19s too and are a quality wheel that's not too heavy
