Default Pictures of my SC400 with Chromed 18" G35 Wheels

So, here it is, got them today set of 4 with 2 front 70% dunlop tires for $360









Now the car looks kinda odd cause its higher now
And I'm wondering if the tire will clear when i lower them
So, I need some help

What tire size should i get so they'll clear when i lower them with springs and shocks?

The two front ones are still good @ 225 45 18

Stock 2 rear are 245 45 18
I read some previous posts and some say 245 35 18 will fit better?
Any suggestions???

Next I plan to put some Rotora BBK on them, will post pictures when they're done!

Are you going with coil overs or just lowering springs? How much are you wanting to go? One inch or closer to two?

I'm still debating, if coilovers are more expensive by like 500 i'll proly go with springs, as far as how much lower, I'm just worried that it will not clear, if it does clear im thinking about 1" to 1.5"

I like the Espelir set up withh hypercoil springs, there's a big post about this set up somewhere here

Those specs are pretty close to mine. Found these specs online:
Front
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight:
Tire: 225/45/18

Rear
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight:
Tire: 245/45/18; 265/35/18 will also fit
With the 245's on the back of mine (dropped an inch) they were fine. But then I went with 255's and the drivers side one rubbed a little with people in the car so I rolled the fenders.

Are you getting any vibration because the center bore is different?
Nissan/Infiniti Hub Bore = 66.1mm & Toyota/Lexus Hub Bore = 60.1mm.
