20'' Vossen wheels and Eibach springs on G37x AWD Coupe

gyukang2 · 11-19-2009, 10:16 PM

I am planning to install 20'' VVS078 with Eibach springs.

My questions are...

1. Which one should I install first between the wheels and the springs?

2. Would 20*9 wheels work on my AWD coupe?

3. Should I also put camber kit? ( I heard that camber kit is a must-item with 20'', but not with 19'')

I have've been searching them, but could not get the result with AWD coupe.

Thank you for your time!!

1. Doesn't really matter. Are you doing the installs your self? If so I'd do the springs first since you will have the wheels off then once your done put the new wheels on.

2. Everything with wheels depends on the offset.

3. If you want your tires to last, then yes i'd get a camber kit. Also I don't know what kind of affect it would have on the AWD system without one.

Thank you wakeboard. I see it's depnds on the offset.

Do you know which offset should be proper for AWD coupe!?!??!!?!?

I don't really know for sure on the AWD. But i know it has been discussed around here before. You should be able to find it searching. If not i'm sure someone who knows what offsets work well for AWD will chime in.

It doesnt matter with eibachs

2. Would 20*9 wheels work on my AWD coupe?

Offset please

3. Should I also put camber kit? ( I heard that camber kit is a must-item with 20'', but not with 19'')

The size of the rim has nothing to do with the camber

You shouldnt need camber with the Eibach lift kit

Im not sure AWD would require camber kit anymore then non-AWD would, especially only running eibach.

I have camber kit front and back with eibach, not out of necessity but because I hate the look of excessive negative camber... and I plan to go a little lower in the future, so I just got it over with while I had to time to do the install.

Curious why you got AWD if your dropping and putting 20's on? You going to be putting stock suspension and wheels on in the winter?

Hey I don't have an AWD Coupe but I do have an AWD sedan and is lowered on eibach springs and have 20" wheels.
1. It doesn't matter if you install the springs first or the rims first.
2. 20x9.0 up to +30 which I'm running. The coupe is wider so maybe you can use a lower offset ( +30 or less)
3. It's up to you to put a Camber kit with eibach springs. Your probably going to have 2degrees of negative camber which doesn't hurt that much. Just make sure to get an alignment about 300-500 miles after you drive on the springs.

Your cars AWD system won't be affected in anyway with negative camber. Just make sure you get hubcentric rings with your wheels if don't want any vibration after replacing your wheels. Good luck and if you need anymore info about AWD with wheels and drop I'll answer any questions you have.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

the eibachs for the AWD coupe lower it significantly more than the eibachs for the sport. The drop rates are 1.5 in rear and 1.9 in front (and they settle a bit too). I ended up with about a half inch wheel gap after they settled and with no one in the car. Camber kit for the fronts for me was needed....very badly and the rears could use one as well, but not as bad as fronts. The rears I have the toe in spec and the camber is roughly -2.4 or something. The problem is there are no aftermarket rear camber kits for the AWD coupe yet.

I had 20x9 tires with I think was 38 offset, I may be wrong though....

also not sure when you were planning on getting the springs, but if it's toward the end of the winter or after it I will be selling mine for cheap if interested
