i have not seen many people attempting to run aggressive wheel sizes on 2G tl's.

has anyone run a wheel with similar spec's?

im sure i would have to do some quarter rolling, and probably mess with the camber.

 

<--- 18x8.5 +30

haha.. they were LE37

 

i rolled the rear so its like. FLAT FLAT.. and then it got pushed out.. kinda flared out by itself.. and the front.. it was just okay..

 

thanks man, did rolling your quarters distort the shape of the 1/4 any?

do you have any closer pics of the flushness?

do you think you could have fit a 9" wide wheel?

 

Roll or cut fenders, tire stretch, and negative camber would do it. Thats pushin it tho. How low are you wanting to be?

 

im trying to figure it all out before i order wheels that wont work.

 

19x9.5 +25 on my rears.

also did 19x9 +36 in the rears. so yes they'll work if u don't mind running 225 tires, some camber, roll fenders, cut tabs

 

This made me feel much more confident in my next setup

 

have any pics of either setup?

im mostly interested in pics of the rear.

 

If you're going for too much camber, make sure you buy cheap tires because the inner side of the tires will wear out very fast.

 

x2.

Leave it up to the man who has a Naaasty CL. Makes me want to steal your wheels.

jjashaa that pic is now my frickin Wallpaper.

grip, how low are you planning to go? Do you have plans for certain suspension?

 

im planning to go as low as possible, while still being driveable, reliably.

K-sport's are being ordered monday.

 

good job on the k sports. installing those things is a damn breeze.

 

indeed, plus ill be able to throw in the stock setup for winter mode.

 

haha.. thats an old picture.. as you can see the INSPIRE grill... Saber > Inspire ALLDAY!! lol....

 

how much work you think it would take to fit 19x8.5s w/a +35 all around?

i dont want any camber if its possible...
and i can sacrifice ride height if need be

 

eh from experience you should just run maybe like -1 or 1.5 camber and go as low as you can as long as your toe is fine your tires should be okay it will still wear but not as much if the toe is correct i was running -3 before. and if you dont really want to run camber just roll your fenders and run like 215 series tires with 8.5 rims the stretch will look great

 

do you have any pictures of this setup?
i may buy those nismo wheels that the 3rd gen forum is drooling over and just want to make sure it will fit ok for us lowly 2nd geners.

 

r u talking bout ur cl?

im running 18x8 +40 n im barely clearing in the rear...

 

19x9.5 et25 not on a tl without pulled fenders...

 

nah son...JDM allday. Only way to go homie.

 

cl and tl should have the same fitments

 

i run a 9.5" wiht a 45... thats almost an inch of more poke, i guess if you camber it..even if you do that, i think the lip will poke, not kiss.. you got pics of yours?

 

kiran is running 18x9.5 +35 or +38 n hes barely making it...hes rolled too

 

enough with the talk on with the pics

 

And i have no idea how. When i tried a offset like that with a 18x8 it stuck out of the fender. No rolling would have made it fit.

 

i think hes running negative camber too isnt he? i doubt he can run that setup without running negative camber

 

at 4.0-4.2 neg. camber its poking about 10-15mm out which is what i wanted. the fronts have something like -0.3 camber and pokes 5-10mm. course i'm on 225s. no pix yet, i just readjusted camber from 3.6 to 4.2, with 3.6 it was poking around 15mm-20mm, but with that i should have gotten a fender pull.

something like 19x8.5 +30 or +35 would be flush in front, rear should be around the same if u run almost no camber.

 

someone with more knowledge than me needs to redo derrrick's thread on "will it fit"

we can be a lot more agressive then he originally thought.
i'm trying to see if i can fit stock g35 wheels on my car...

Front wheels
Wheel Size: 19x8.0
Wheel Offset: +30
Wheel Brand: rays
Tire Size: 225/40/19

Rear wheels
Wheel Size: 19x8.5
Wheel Offset: +33
Wheel Brand: rays
Tire Size: 245/40/19



i know i'll have to roll fenders and cut tabs but would i also have to run camber and/or get 225 tires for the rear?

 

i dont think youll need to run camber with that width and offset roll fenders yes but im sure you can make it with no camber depending on how much your dropped

 

yea...we r both running hekka negative camber...u know kirans on bags n he cant ride slammed with that setup...

all this talk is making me wana try that my idea with 18x9 +20 setup...which definitely wont work lol

 

18x10s in the rear, 18x9.5s in the front.

the wheels will always work, its everything else that needs changing lol. i can ride with it all the way down but i can ride with it with the tire still tucking in the rear.

and add about +17 more to that 30

 

thanks a lot.
i hate asking to be spoon fed but i'm a newb when it comes to wheels.

 

Im a huge newb with wheels and all this camber talk, I did a big time rookie mistake and bought some 19x9.5 in the rear. I didnt do my homework and after reading all this im realizing i messed up. What would I have to do if i wanted to make them work with out doing major work? Or is that even possible? I dnt want to drop it much so I would like to see what im in for. CONFUSED!!!!

 

Whats your offset?

 

I could be wrong, but I think its 45+.

 

i had 18x9 +35 w/ 225-40-18 and rolled fenders before..

now 18x9.5 +31 w/ 225-40-18

will fit, cut bumper tabs and roll fenders. p.s. im on air ride tho... it tucks in sickly when all the way down..

 

offset, and disc? (hi, low, etc)?

19x9.5 +45 all around also? or rears only? either way thas not gonna be an easy fit by any means, that size (even wider) has been done before tho...

 

i'd run 225-35-19 all around with those sizes.. those G tires are too big for us... also will those even fit ? (hub size is same, etc?)

 

can you guys start posting pictures, along with your spec's?

i purchased a set of Rays G35 wheels with tires to use as a refrence....they are now for sale.

8.5wide, +33 pokes out about 1/2"-3/4" in the rear
8 wide, +30 poke's about about 1/4" in the rear

i want to order a set of 18x9, +30 wheels, but i need to see some cars actually putting these width's and offset's to use to gain a little confidence in my future setup. (i cant afford to purchase another set of wheels just to see how they fit.

anyone want to buy some G35 wheels? i have them on ebay (user id= gripfab, item # 220321592392)
