Im looking at 07+ coupe and sedan. Think i may be going w/sedan for practicality sake.

The first thing I will need to do is upgrade tires/suspention on the Sedan.

1) Can you disable tpms? It costs 200 bucks extra for those stupid little things on tire rack.

2) Will a 235/40/18 fit without rubbing on Eibach prokit? I will definately need the traction. Im not sure a 225/45/18 will suffice?

Thanks

Rich

Sorry you can't disable the tpms. I got oem nismo wheels and was able to just switch them over no problem. That maybe an option depending on the wheel. You can live with out them if you can live with the light on the dash all the time.

You should be ok with that tire size. Its really about the offset of the wheel. What were you looking at? Anything over +35 you should be ok. Mean +38 +45 and up.

235/40/18 is too small - the stock 18" size is 235/45/18 - your speedometer will be off by 3.5% if you use the 235/40, which is out of threshold...

Using the stock size with the drop is ok - what offset are you getting?

No way to disable TPMS - it's a federal law. You can have the TPMS sensors moved from your old wheels to the new ones usually with no issues.

Yeah,

I think i meant 235/45/18 on the sedan which is what i'll probably purchase.

Im leaning toward the sport edition rims with stock 45mm offset. They are the g37 look a likes. Any suggestions for rims? I like the clean classy look.
