Hey Majestik

Before I start don't flame me, I am happy to be corrected on any point I am wrong and remember these ideas are based on my taste which may not suit others.

To help you out I will tell you where I am going which is very similar to Minicobra1's latest setup and maybe I think where you are going, but with the standard 19" Sports wheels. Thanks Minicobra1 for the ideas and inspiration (but maybe not the PC matt colour on a MB).

Nismo Wheels in Matt Black

Have the following on the way from the US.
- Nismo OEM 19x9.5+40 and 19x10.5+23 same as bezzita's new rims. These are different from the accessory S-Tune Nismo rims which have the same offset and size as the 19" Sports Rims.
- Yokohama V103 Advan Sport 245/40R19 and 285/35R19 (conservative but I need just a little more profile for the road conditions up here)
- H&R DRS Spacers 15mm all around to maintain the stagger. From my understanding you will need the stud replacement type in the front known as V1 or DRS for 15mm or 20mm.
- SPC Camber Arms Kits (which come with the T/bolts dont let Margaret at Stillen tell you otherwise) Dont think you will need the toe bolts with the Eilbachs if you are setting the alignment to near stock, but maybe with coilovers such as Waqar setup.
- Eilbach ProKit Springs
- Stillen Sways

In addition
- Stillen G3 CAI
- NST LW UD Pulley with extra Alternator Pulley (can use the same OEM belt)
- Illuminated Kick Plates
- Splash Guards all round
- OEM Nissan Flat Washer Lock nuts to help keep those wheels on the car.

The offset on the above will give +25 on the front and +8 on the back. If this is too aggresive will remove spacers and sell on. Your Sports 19" offset using 15mm & 20mm would yield I think +32 & +10. Jump in guys if I am wrong. The general rule of thumb for a lowered flush look with 9.5 and 10.5 rims is +22 F and +12 R (thanks Schrute)

For exhaust really want a stock look and max ground clearance so FI is out which leaves Stillen, Berk or Nismo. Nismo is my prefernce looking for a moderate sound and good looks and willing the trade off a few HPs. Trying the stich up a group buy on Nismo out of the states on S-Tune. If any are intrested PM me.

Sorry for the rambling I am tired and its been a long day.

See ya Termac
