I was hoping to run this setup on my A/C after i get my wheels( 20 x 8.5" +35mm offset rims) I'm just concerned with wheel clearance in the rear with a drop + wide tires in regards to hitting bumps.

Does anyone know if this staggered setup is ok for driving. It should be, just wondering if someone can confirm this!Thanks for any input!

a fella i work with (our regional uhp rep) is looking into this with "nissan" for me. I'm in limbo of buying wheels until i get more solid information because after market springs are a must for this car. i should have something by the end of this week... til then,

new findings - the 20x8.fizzle +35 will fit the coupes. the eibach sportline offers a 2 inch drop. the tire (245/35r20 or 245/30r20) and wheel fitment will fit with both options installed under normal driving conditions and will not scrub when steering or hitting minor bumps. however, if you run over a downed red wood trunk laying in the road you will get a little scrub on the top of the plastic inside wheel well, but will take a hell of a bump to do so as the sportline springs are very stiff.hope this helps yall out, i'll post some pics when i get mine installed.
