You guys who already have your springs or are on there way post up your pics so the rest of us can see

Give rim/tire size, offset and level of drop ex....1.0F-1.0R (Eibach)

adidas2go already posted a thread with his pics of it lowered, use the search or click his user name, and you should find the thread, I think it's "Eibach's installed" or something like that

I'm sure as Stillen fulfills its group-buy orders we'll seem some additional photos trickle on here after that.

A few guys are running a 245/35/20 on a similar offset, a +35 if I'm not mistaken and not rubbing with the stock suspension. I'd feel pretty good with a +42 and a 245 tire.

Three shots, one plain, one with green arrows showing tires, and one lightened up with green arrows showing tires.... just thought I'd revive this thread! Will have better pictures up soon... hopefully, desertdragon, Blake, and Johnny will post their pics also...

Oh yeah, I'm running 245/35/20 w/ 8.5" wide wheels and +35 offset and surprisingly, my car doesn't rub when going over bumps, well not yet at least! But that's on a 3.5 A/C, the suspension is diffrent in coupes vs sedans, 2.5 A/C vs 3.5 A/C and 2.5 Sedan vs 3.5 Sedan

Preciate it Blake, as you know, it actually looks better in person... this is the way our cars SHOULD have come from the factory!!!

Also, I have less of a fender gap than you do because my tires are about 1.3 inches larger in diameter than yours

Dr and Addidas, your cars look very nice.Dr. do you have to be extremely careful with pot holes with your 20" wheels. Since I want to buy rims and currently considering 18", but yours and Adidas' pics gave me 2 thoughts. I am very concerned about Pot holes with 20" or 19" since I live in Mexico.

I still haven't got a chance to take better pics with my camera yet. But here:

Yes, but its not about the 19" or 20" wheels, its about the low profile tires. Anytime you get low profile tires, you have to worry about potholes. You can get low profile tires on 18" wheels, and still have to worry abou potholes!

the sidewall on the stock tires is 4.65"the sidewall on a 235/35 tire is 3.2"the sidewall on a 245/35 tire is 3.3"

if you're worried about potholes, then I would suggest getting either 245/45/18 or 245/40/18 tires on 18" wheels..

the side wall on those are 4.3" and 3.85" respectively. It changes the look of the car, no doubt, put provides better protection against potholes for your wheel!

If you go with 19" wheels, you can get 245/40/19 tires, those wil also give you a side wall of 3.85" and a tire tiameter of 26.7"

rj alty what set up do you have it does the rest of us no good with out your specs.

Adidas it looks goooood man and by the looks of the gaps on your fenders my setup will fly any way you can get some measurments of your gaps

your running 235/35/19 with a 38 offset your tire diameter is 25.5 I believemine is 26.7 with a 35 offset depending on your gap I might get those springs after all (eibach pro kit) your ride looks good especiallly the last pic

Still waiting to see if a 245/45/18 with a 35 offset will fly

Dude are you blind or can you just not read. Why the hell would I revive this thread if the car wasn't lowered. Clearly the purpose of the second and third pics with the arrows was to show the new position of the tires. There's less than an inch of wheel gap, and you ask if the car is lowered? Next time, read through the entire post and read the signature before calling someone a "post whore" ! is wrong with this dude?

to put it another way, my sidewalls are 3.37".... soooo.. look at the pic again, add 3.37" in your mind onto the top of the rim, and that's the new position of my tires with the ride lowered.

Easy Guys...this is a place of refuge for a lot of us. A place where we can go and log into while at work to ease the pain of Corporate America or to simply get away from life's hustle and bustle.

This is definitely not the place for aggression.....Can't we all just get a long?

BTW Doc,...your ride looks sick lowered and with the 20's! Great job!

Somewhere on the http://www.G35NYC.com forum I saw a thread forfender rolling service. He did a bunch of G35 there already. Searchthe forum, it might be reasonable.

So i guess im a post whore for asking questions, providing meaningful insight and providing slickdeals to nico too right? You should praise people who post here rather than burn them.... without our posts, there is no forum

Also DR FEELGOOD... can you measure the gap btwn the top of the tire and the fenders on the front and back? i found a local guy trusted by g35 forum who will roll the fenders for $200 in brooklyn... im trying to talk him lower (obviously!)...

Dude, what's your deal.. regarding post numbers, I post relevant information, installation tutorials, and mostly info on car audio/video since that's my hobby. You won't find tons of "bump" posts just to increase my post count. i didn't know or care about my post count, but looking at the math... 1041 posts in 5.5 months = 189 posts per month = 6 posts per day... how is that a post whore

OHHHH YYEEAHHH, and being that I'M the reason that you got your Injen intake for that cheap a$$ price, the least you could do is not try to burn people that actually help YOU out and save YOU money!!!!

I just don't get some people... isn't this guy the one that started this thread, then he flames folks for doing him a favor and posting the pics he asked for????

Yeah Brian, I'll do it, but seriously, I don't think you'll have a problem. Just try them on there without rolling first... I'll get some better pics on today
