Sizes and offsets are fine. Should fit fairly flush to the fenders. They need to learn how to spell INFINITI though. What wheels are they?

There are no alignment problems with Teins. The only issues anyone has had were noises, but from what seems to be the consensus now, the noises are from either Tension rods, or Strut mounts, or both. Eibachs are discontinued.

Not bad looking wheels, you might want to check Memoryfab.com and see what used JDM wheels they have in that price range though. If you get those on eBay, I'd paint the center caps black, and get some die-cut Infiniti logos to stick on them.

Just be warned that you should probably get an alignment after doing the springs because TOE will be way off where it should be... Extra camber doesnt bother is us as much as extra toe does.

Oh you should definitely get an alignment, but there should be no problems other than being a little past factory specs on camber only.

You are not going to find any Eibachs so you should just drop that idea. You either go Teins or stay with stock, I did the Teins with no issues, regrets or problems, got them from Kevin. The Eibachs are gone for years now and frankly no big issues with the Teins save some people with bad installs.

As others have said, the sizes you listed will fit fine, not sunken like stock, but not so "outward" as to require any "fender work".

An alignment should be performed after any suspension work, but isn't impossible after lowering the car (within reason ).

As for wheels, those are okay, but there are alot of good/better options near that price range. I realize those come with (new) tires, but they're not high dollar tires, so price up some other options and keep your eyes open. Used G35 (forged) 19" staggered take offs with low mile tires can be had for that price. And though they wouldn't be as flush are such a better wheel/tire set up.

Offset can't be discussed without referencing the wheel width at the same time, the 2 go hand in hand, that said the Y33 requires a lower offset on a similar width wheel than the G50.
