I'm running 20x10 +45 rear 295/30/20 and 20x8.5 +40 245/35/20 Front.
For the coupe you'll need offsets in the mid +20s for a similar fit, you'd have to ask the coupe guys for exact setups.

Issue is soft springs and low offset. Get your self a set of KW V1 coilovers or NISMO S-tune suspen setup. They are for the 370z but will work fine on the G37. Or go with SWIFT springs and new OEM Sport shocks. All setup will run you over $1,000. But no matter what you do! your springs are the issue. I also am not a fan of shaving down anything on the car or cutting anything!

See people don't understand that when you change the size of your wheels and tires from what Infiniti designed into the car you need to also upgrade your suspension as well.

When you mod a car you want to find a good balance between OEM and aftermarket. Most just mod to be cool or to fit into a group of others, because they just follow what everyone else is doing.

I did a light mods to my IPL and the car is perfect! I only took what was there and made small enchantments to the car to give it edge!

considering how the bumper tab is a known issue with the coupes and rubbing, i dont see why it isnt worthwhile for the OP to investigate it with his sedan. it takes less than a second. the gash on the tire that looks *exactly* like the damage the bumper tab can inflict. it's steel after all.

jujubii, I use the "let me google that for you" link all the time on people in the office. I guess it's a shame on me for not just searching. ha

Have you resolved this issue? That looks like a 20x10.5 +25 offset. Please PM me for further assistance.

spc spring spacers

Get these until you get some coil overs. It will stop the rubbing even though i hate them. Cost about 20 or so dollars.

Yea, Took it back to the shop and they ground down the bumper bracket and also removed some of the felt liner.

I still rub on some large bumps but, 95% of the rubbing has been eliminated. Will be ordering coil overs pretty soon.
