IPL wheels installed

Got these for under $1k which I had to buy immediately. Currently running Michelin Pilot Super Sports F: 245/40/19 and R: 275/35/19. The upgrade is really nice on the Journey coupe, ride is a bit more harsh and not as soft as the 18's imo but still great. What do you guys think next, lowering spring? spacers? obviously the BBK I will get sometime in the summer or fall. With lowering springs would I need new cambers?

and another question is my car is still somewhat drifting to the right, I had Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my 18's and the mechanic said it was radial pull. I have my alignment done, will post a picture of it. But since these are new tires why is my car still drifting right? Thanks.

Most roads are crowned which will cause a very slight right drift. Anything more than slight though and I'd have it looked at.
I'd take a look at Venoms BBK, just chip away at those upgrades and you'll get there sooner than you think. I'd get Tein Basis coilovers over a spring drop, then you can set just the height you want, and might get by w/ just a rear camber kit.

Lower it next.

if you go with swift or eibach springs, you should be ok with no camber kit
.
Or go with the tein basis, but then you may need to get a camber kit.

Definitely lower it next. I'm dropped with the Eibach Pro Kit and didn't need a camber kit. But order a rear one just to be safe. Otherwise nice wheels man!

IPL rims with 20mm spacers front and rear. Not sure you could get away with 275's and 20mm spacers.

Looks great
I would lower it now and maybe a splitter combo(front and sides) or front/side body kit

Personally I would advise against too wide of a spacer in front (anything more than 10mm)... On mine it caused the handling characteristics to change and not for the better... Too much kick back and the car was "darty" when cornering on uneven pavement on my Pilot SS tires.
It may have just been the combination with my setup but when I removed them from the front it was like night and day

I noticed a bit more immediacy on turn-in but I definitely wouldn't call my setup darty with 20mm spacers in front. But I'm at the OEM ride height, OEM tires with stock width rims and a very much OEM alignment biased towards even tire wear.

In fact, I often feel that the G's steering is great in terms of feedback it never felt linear to me, even before the spacers. So it's not just the spacers but the entire list of specs which may be causing the front end to feel darty.

Wow nice freaken deal!!! I love these wheels. Wish I could find a set that low. I do think you need to lower the front about a .8-1.0" not much but a little. The only issue is the ride is going to suffer again. I'm driving a Q50 loaner right now and love the supple but firm ride. My G sport is on eibachs and the ride is pretty rough.

Yes very lucky to get it for $900, now it's not perfect has a little paint peel and rashes but still overall great condition. I was just browsing ebay looking at "Infiniti 19 OEM wheels" and it popped up as just listed. Many will label it as IPL wheels etc.. but I guess not adding IPL or something to it made it not worth looking for some.
