Hello fellow G37 enthusiasts,

With the winter soon coming to an end I will be fitting new wheels on my '08 g37s. I am looking for advice on whether or not camber kits (f/r) will be required. I'm going to say yes right away but looking for a definitive answer as I know its out there somewhere.

Currently my g37s is on stock height with stock 19s but I will be purchasing coilovers to lower it down and putting 20's on. Specs of the wheels are:
Front: 20" x 8.5", +20
Rear: 20" x 9.5", +35

Would a 10 mm spacer on the rear be advisable for a more flush look? Also going lower (unknown exactly how low at this time but lower than 1.5inch drop) would spc camber kits (front/rear) be advisable for the longevity of the tires?

 

It's hard to give a answer w/ 100% certainty regarding drops since it seems every G is a bit unique when all the variables add up. Also some alignment shops have a much better grasp of aligning lowered cars. That said, 1.5" seems to be about the cutoff where you can still get by w/ factory arms/toe bolts. Since you want to go lower than that I'd invest in the kits, they'll pay for themselves in added tire life over the years and you'll be able to dial in your alignment much better.
As far as spacers, I'd wait until you get the car lowered and aligned then see exactly what spacer you'll need. It's only a week or two that you'll have to wait to get things exactly right.

 

Thanks blnewt, I appreciate your reply.
