19x9 oem wheels mounted up and lessons learned (pics added)

So just had my 19" vert wheels mounted up on my x sedan and I guess the vert has a lower offset than the coupe so I am running 19x9 all around +30. It looks extremely aggressive when compared to other setups I see on here.

If it's plus 30 then yep about 15mm further out, should be a nice look, especially if you're dropped, might poke a bit if you're not.

Yup it pokes a bit. Hoping the swifts will help out. But I think it's a great alternative to running spacers! Plus the vert wheels are cheaper.

Yeah, that doesn't look right. Better than the duck feet, no doubt, but... odd. When do you get your springs installed? It would comfort me seeing someone else with similarly poked 19's made to look right and proper on Swift Springs.

My springs shipped yesterday, which was a strange four day delay since ordering them drop shipped through Need4Speed, so it's going to be a couple of weeks still before installation. But at least they're on their way, I suppose. How about you, OP, what's your schedule?

I have two back to back work trips starting Monday so the cars going to sit for a couple of weeks. I'm hoping to have them installed by the 17th. The rears sit flush with just a little poke, the fronts are flush with just a couple mm of poke. According to the shop that mounted them up it should look pretty good with a slight drop and the slight negative camber that brings with it. I am just trying to understand how people run the coupe rear wheels and then run 20mm spacers which would effectively bring the offset to around a +25? The fronts bother me a little, not so much the rears. Worst case scenario I'll buy the same wheels for the front with the offset for the coupe.

Seems we're in similar but opposite situations. My rears poke 1/2", but the fronts are fine. I suppose between the two, I'd rather it was this way because staggered RWD. Just like you, though, I'm hoping it cambers negative in a way that works for me.

My biggest freak out with the springs is whether or not I can get up the hump from the road to my driveway, but that's why I went with Swift. Always something, man. LOL

Hah, if it wasn't easy it wouldn't be fun right? Sometimes I wish I was a hardcore sports guy instead, all I'd spend money on is cable and beer and since I already buy that **** this just adds up even more haha. I think you and I should be okay with the drop but it sounds like you may have to practice going up at different angles!

If I can get up my driveway (albeit on 3 wheels) at zero gap you should have no prob w/ yours

I think it will look good with the impending drop. What are your tire sizes?

Aren't those the anniversary style rims? Did you order from infiniti directly or from elsewhere for the four 30mm offsets?

245/40/19 all around since it's an x. Yeah they are the anniversary/accessory wheel, I ordered them from Grubbs Infiniti and ordered the ones for the vert since they were a lot cheaper. Although I didn't realize the offset was different from the coupe until I put them on the car.

Nice on the square set up.. I will be interested when the Swifts go on. I'm sure things won't look as poke aggressive. Should tie things together nicely as well.

What are the offsets for coupe? Interesting if it is essentially the same wheel, why the difference in price?

I think the coupe is +45 on the rear. Both wheels are normally $533 each but these were marked down to $205 and then had a 20% code so I got them for like $164 each brand new. Not too bad for a wheel made by RAYS. The fronts are $197 each for the coupe and the vert and come out to like $157 after the code.

I had 20x9 vossens on mine, dropped on Kdubs and that setup looked sweet as phuq.

Only rubbed a little if I got crazy, and then just on the plastic wheel well liner.

I wanna see pics when you're done Rochester.

You and me both. I'm sure to have all kinds of pics in my progress thread in a few weeks.

Man, swift springs sure are popular here!
