Question Question need your input!

Alright so i m getting ready to throw down on a new set of kicks for the G.

this is how my car currently sits


But i think i want to go a little lower in the front dropped on BC coils. the current specs are 19x9.5 +35 all around. The wheels sit pretty flush with the fender line and i want to keep it like that.

The I am already in contact with Ravspec and these wheels can be made in any spec i want.
I have always had a square setup (LMGT4 and GT-S) should i keep these square or should i expand my horizons and go staggered (I have a 08 G35X)

the current specs i am looking at getting are 19x9 +25 all around will these be good? too aggressive? not aggressive enough? should i not run square anymore?

looking for inputs
Thanks!

I've read the best offsets for sedans are between +36 & +45. I am currently running 20" X 8.5" +45 all around. Hope this helps

19x9 +25 would be about 4mm more aggressive than your current setup. So if you like the way it sits now this will be pretty close. As for staggered, your car is awd so non-staggered makes sense. I'm curious why you want to go down in width size?

i wanted to go down in width because i noticed some tire damage on the inside of my front tires i m not exactly sure where its from but it looks like it might have to do with when i turn its rubbing on something.

thanks for the reply yeah i want to go a little more aggressive then what i have now. i ll probably go with some less tire and more camber

here are some side shots

Well Natalie was running 10.5 +45 square setup on stretched 255s, I think if you want a standard tire fitment I'd go w/ 9" +35 running 245 or 255 tires.

the rubbing your getting could be from the drop, I would check all that out before making purchases... so you dont mess up any new kicks.

I saw her setup and its really sweet, but shes a little lower than what i want to do. i think i am going to go with 9''s since the 9.5s are hitting something when i turn all the way. i just need to figure out the best offset and a +35 to +25 is what i am looking at.

My car is a little lower than yours and I'm running 20x9 +20 in the front with no rubbing issues. If you feel that it will rub just add some negative camber

Just to let you know OP if you didn't already know this, the sedan and coupes have different factory offset specs. I didn't know this until Blnewt (knowledgable man) chimed in when I was asking questions about "the right" offsets for my G. Just trying to make sure you don't take any coupe owners specs to heart in regards to your sedan.
