So my original plan of 20x10 +40 was foiled by my upgrading my x Sedan to akebonos, they won't clear the calipers. So now I'm looking at 20x9 +25 square, and I'm wondering if I can fit 255/35/20 all around and not have issues up front. I'm mildly dropped on eibach pro kits
That 255 in front will be tight on a 9 +25, the front fender edge isn't flat rolled like the rear and may rub under hard compression. What wheels are you liking? Might be able to come up w/ something similar that will have clearance in a 9.5 width perhaps, or you could run staggered (like a 8.5/10" combo or a 9/10.5" set)w/ the proper tire sizing to keep your AWD ok.
I originally wanted Sothis sc2s in 20x10 +40 all around as I wanted a concave square setup then I got set on the Niche Lucerne in the same size. but then the caliper clearance issue came in the picture, so now I'm looking at Niche Vicenza in 20x9 +25, which are also available in +35. I'm open to 245s but wanna get an adequate sized Tire patch on the ground so I was gonna try 255s. Also, i do have access to a fender roller. Anyway, I'm leaning towards the +25 so I can get as much concavity as possible. It's also a good looking wheel. I just have a budget so I'm trying to be conscientious about that as well.
I have a 2012 G37xS sedan currently dropped on Eibach Pro Kit for the G35x 6399.140 and is what Eibach recommended. I love the ride and the feel of the springs, the only thing I would like differently is an even gap between the front and rear. The front is about 2 fingers off the tire and the rear is about 1 finger. Most times I cannot recognize the look but when I do I get a little annoyed just because I'm **** about that type of crap. My question is, has anyone been successful in actually utilizing a lowering spring and adding about a 1/2 inch with maybe a spring spacer or something of the sort. Any suggestions are appreciated with help in now raising my rear end about 1/2 inch and keeping my eibach springs on there.
Hello, i searched the forum and not quite finding anything similar..
i have a G37S Sedan, with those big brakes, and lowered on TEIN-S tech. No camber arms. I was running 20x9 /20x10.5 net +15/40, with 245/30/20 and 275/30/20
I am looking for a new setup, and possibly downsizing to 19". I am not looking for mild camber or poke. Just flush will be nice. I am looking for some concave looks.
I have my eyes set at 19x9.5 / 19x10 sqaure (i assume 19x10 and 20x10 will be the same assuming the overall OD after tires matches)
I am not sure what offset will work in the front...one member did mention his 20x10 +40 will not work with big brake in the front.
So end of the day, I found a thread that was on g35 driver and a guy who had a g37x sedan with the same issue I have. He used a universal spring isolator tube for his rear springs and he said he didn't notice any difference in performance but his stance and gap was now even. I just purchased the same ones on energysuspension.com part number 9.6112r for $17 so we will see how it turns out and I will post pictures for all to see.

Looks like the Niche is only up to a 9.5 in the 19s and only in a +35
The Miros have a 19x10 but in a +40, brake clearance will probably be an issue for both sets, that you would have to confirm w/ the vendor.
Do these wheels do anything for you?
They may have better clearance STR Racing Wheels ? STR 610

Thanks for helping out.
I do have a pair of 20mm spacers that i can use, will that bring the +40 to +20 and make it work? My concern is will 19x10 require any fender work? Being on Tein-S is quite low. Car was running 20x9 (net +15) on the front when i bought it), and it was quite flush. Fender was rolled flat already i believe, and bumper bracket / liners were shaved as well.
Really wanna go for the Vossen VSF2 look (aka the miro / niche all those reps out there i guess. )
Do you think 245/40/19 will be fine for a 10" width wheel? Will 255/40/19 rub ? Thank you one more time!
I have recently posted in this forum about a g37x sedan spring setup. I just finished the setup today and decided to share my experience.
To start off I have a 2012 g37xS sedan with Eibach Pro Kit Springs #6399.140 which is originally for the g35x sedan. The fronts were a struggle compared to the rears as far as replacing them. The spring compressor I had could not even fit on the Eibach setup so I had no choice but have the dealer compress them on the strut for me. The rear struts can be done with a jack and 17mm wrench, literally took me 45 minutes from start to finish wheel removal and all for the rear springs. After the spring setup was complete I was a little dissatisfied with the stance being that the rear did sag about 1/2 inch more so than the front. To compensate for this I did a lot of research and made some calls, but I went and added a coil spring isolator to the top of each of rear spring. This was just enough to lift the rear about 1/2 inch and I am very very happy now with the look and the feel is amazing as well.
How much of the spring have you wrapped w/ that sleeve? Does it still fit well in the control arm? Surprised that sleeve made a 1/2" difference, how thick is the sleeve, looks to be about an 1/8" thick.
Glad it worked out and gave you the balanced look you're after.

It's about a 1/4" thick and it's 10" long. A guy on g35driver.com gave me the idea because he did the same thing on his S when he had issues. And a 1/2" might be an exaggeration but it gave the balance I was looking for, also helped camber too. More so than I thought too.
That's good info, I just noticed today that I too have the dreaded saggy bum on my xS. I may have to do this as well this summer. On another note I have an order in for a square set of 20x9 ET 25 wheels... Will post up when everything comes in.

Mr. Nurner, the part number for the Coil Spring Isolator that I purchased is 9.6112R and I actually found it on amazon.com for $17.
