help me fix my front gap.
i'm noob in suspention and shock but would please help to find what the problem might be with my front gap and how can i fix it.
In the rear i cannot slide a finger cause there's no gap but in the front i could probably slide 1 or 2 fingers. i would like to have no gap in the front.
i bought the car this way which has infinity g37 wheels with 225-45-19 front 245-40-19 rear and has h&R sport sprint suspention.
so is my problem are the tires size. The rear being bigger than the front, or is the H&R suspention with the drop. I'm buying new tires in a week or so and i think i might need new shock cause i have the floating riding effect.
if i buy all around tire (245-35-19) will the gap in the front go away or would i need something like an adjustable shock like konig yellow to help with the front drop?
thanx

first of the tires are WAY off the correct size they should be for 19's. The front tire is 6% oversized! 3% is the saftey limit for tire size change.
I'm not sure about the G37 rims about them being staggered fitment or not so I can't be sure of what tire size should be put on them.
Either way, 235 is the minimum width you should have on the front tires. With that said, 235/35/19 is the tire size you should go with, only .5% off.

wouldn't 235/35/19 be to thin or will it be the same size has the 225/45/19 from the wheel to the and of tire tread?

235/35/19 all around? will that also help with the gap. The problem why i have those weird tire size is because the wheel and tire came off from a g37s and it was installed with the same setup front in my acura.

The 235/35 tire will be thinner and match the specifications for how tall the tire should be along with the rim. Your current tire is too tall and it throwing of your speedometer and odometer. This will fix the gap somewhat, it'll increase it slightly, however it'll make it more even and fix the ride to make it more natural. In order to get rid of the gap, you are going to need to modify the suspension a bit more and change it out for something better. New shocks such as Koni's or a coilover setup like the Tein SS would work.

235/35/19 will be good for the front rims which I'm assuming are 19 x 8. I don't know how wide the rear rims are since it appears that they are a staggered setup.
