I have done some research and have decided to get Enkei Raijin rims with Hankook V12 tires for my 2011 G37x Sedan with a subtle drop. I plan to go with the following specs and would like your expert opinion on if I am required to do any additional mods once this is in place. I want to avoid things like rubbing or getting cambers.


Enkei Raijin Gunmetal Rims: 19x9.5 +35offset all around
Hankook V12 K110: 240/40/19
Swift Springs for AWD

If I do get the above setup a have a few questions:

1. 1. Will I get a flush look

1. 2. Should I go with larger tires – example 265 to help prevent potential curb rashes?

1. 3. Would you go with a more low profile tire, say 35?

1. 4. Is 19x9.5 too aggressive for a G37x sedan, perhaps 19x8.5? I would like to avoid stagger set

1. 5. Anything else I may not have covered that you think I should think about?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Post 151 of my build thread has pics of my x with Rays on it. No drop though.https://www.myg37.com/forums/build-t...begins-11.html

I'm not having any issues with mine. I'm running forged Rays in 19x8.5 +33 offset. At least right now, I'll swap out to the 19x8s for the winter. I'm pretty flush, running Hankook V12 evo K110 in 245/40ZR-19. For me it seems to be the perfect size.

Just watch the curbs ;-) should be pretty flush but maybe not perfect. Can't say about a camber kit since I haven't gone springs yet. Seem to be a bunch of people that haven't needed them though.

 

1. 1. Will I get a flush look--Drop it first, then check to see if you want spacers.
2. 2. Should I go with larger tires – example 265 to help prevent potential curb rashes?--I think avoiding curbs all together can help you here. Tires size is your preference.
3. 3. Would you go with a more low profile tire, say 35?--Profile will be determined by the size above, just keep the outside diameter as close to factory as possible and of course since this is the AWD, all 4 tires the same size.
4. 4. Is 19x9.5 too aggressive for a G37x sedan, perhaps 19x8.5? I would like to avoid stagger set.--I think the 8.5 on all 4 corners with 255 series tires would be the easiest, there are more wider setups being run, to avoid stagger get the same widths front to back.
5. 5. Anything else I may not have covered that you think I should think about?--Get an alignment check after a week or 2 from the drop.

Happy modding!

 

Hey man have fun with it.


1. Will I get a flush look - Not without spacers with the +35's
2. Should I go with larger tires – example 265 to help prevent potential curb rashes?
NO don't hit the sidewalk-LOL
3. Would you go with a more low profile tire, say 35? It depends? you can but the Swifts aren't the most aggressive drop so there will be a little more gap with the 35's( Check my thread out lots of pics)
4. Is 19x9.5 too aggressive for a G37x sedan, perhaps 19x8.5? I would like to avoid stagger set. No even If your not going staggered, You can do 9.5 all around with the same size tires( called Square set up)
5. Anything else I may not have covered that you think I should think about?
Paratrooper said it make sure to get an alignment went you are all finished. Enjoy.

BTW Why not Staggered, I have run it for few years : I'm running
Front 20X8.5 +24. Rear 20X10.5+45.
With
Front- 245/35/20and Rear- 275/30/20. No issues at all

 

Staggered looks great, w/ an AWD you just have to be VERY careful w/ proper tire sizing there's only a couple suitable combos for each rim size. If your F&R diameters are off by only three tenths of an inch it can create issues.
If you do plan a staggered fit be sure to do your homework. ANMVQ has one of the couple 20" tire combos that are compatible.

 

Took a little bit of time, but my drop and rims are finally done.

For the most part I stick with what I said I was going to do, the only thing I changed was instead of going with Hankook, I went with Michelin Pilot Super Sport

I just want to share some pictures. The car definitely needs a wash... but overall very satisfied with the end result. Thank you for everyones input

 

Looking good & great choice on the tires, be sure to get it aligned if you haven't already. Did you end up w/ 245/40/19s all around?

 

Did you put the springs on? That last pic looks great from that angle for the ride height. ive noticed that the fronts are usually cambered in a wee bit more from the drop.

 

that's correct blnewt 245/40/19s all around. Its sticks out a tiny bit, but not noticeable visually

 

Looks good!

Pilot Super Sports, excellent tire choice.

 

Tires look stretched and weird to me. I'm running 245/40 on 8.5" wheels in the front, so... to each his own.

The wheels are beautiful, and PSS are so worth the money. Congrats.

 

yeah, the springs are put on.
Thank you all for the compliments!!
