G35c: upgrade to 20s or drop another inch

[dmtx]

Folks, just got the 19s on my G35 but not sure if I should just get the 20s or drop it another inch. I have Tein H.Techs installed.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.



edit: sold the 19s and got the 20s. dropped the car another inch. pics on page 2.

Lower it another inch.

[SWX]

Yeah another inch, if you don't like it bump it back up and do 20's

[dj_rice]

Do both

[JVR1]

i think it'd look cleaner with a drop.. but trying 20's probably wouldn't hurt either.

Man, I'm in the same boat as you... except I have 2 more doors than you

I have 19's with a pro-kit. I don't think I want to go as far as getting new springs. My asshole puckers going up and down driveways, and over speedbumps already. Calgarys roads make me not want to get bigger wheels with a smaller sidewall too.

I think I'm just going to cut half a coil off the front springs, and get fatter meats in the rear.

What size rubber are you on?
and do you ever scrape or bottom out?

Yeah I was wondering about scraping too because your car looks pretty low already. Pics always make wheels look smaller but I'd say get 20s and the largest profile tires you can to fill that wheel well.

bump for the 20's

[dmtx]

i'm running 30 series at the back and 35 fronts. Most G owners from g35driver.com uses bigger tires infront to fill the big well better. I can still upgrade to 20s on 30 series tires without throwing the odometer off.


I just had the wheels and tires installed yesterday so the mileage on that is only about 20km from tirecraft McLeod.


If I can sell the set, I will just get the 20s. Not sure if it's easy enough to sell them.

what year is your car? i have 07 with 19" and i am trying to decide what springs to buy.

Go for 20's, the flared wheelwells make those rims look small on the car.

[navdeep]

i got 20s on mine and is stock hight

[silver_gs-R]

dump it another inch

[infected]

The car looks pretty low as is, just get 20's.

[pinoyhero]

Looks decent now although i'm not a fan of the heavy RUFF wheels.

[soobad]

Looks great. I wouldnt suggest lowering it another inch, that can be a pain in the ass... Ive had to raise my FD up an inch or so after it become just annoyingly impossible to go anywhere - lots of speedbumps in the city.

I have an '03. The H&R sport springs look really good on an '07, but probably isn't the most practical ride height.

[riced]

how is the ride on the h-techs? is it close to stock?
I think thats a perfect height

[old&slow]

Looks fine the way it sits!
