Tire Stretching, New Wheels, & Lowering

Hello, here's another post that I really need some advice on because I'm new to the G scene still.

I plan on buying Tein S. Tech to lower but I wanted to get these..

Avant Garde Wheels
F: 19x8.5 +35mm
R: 19x9.5 +40mm

I want to know what is the best tire size I should put on for these specs, I want a very very tiny but nice stretch. Just so it can fit in fender, but no camber. PLZ! I want to be as least dangerous as possible. Lol I want to lower on these wheels specs, does anyone have any advice they can give me? How could I make this setup work? I will consider spacers if I have to! Please any advice helps even if you compare to your own personal setup! Thanks you guys!

Do you have a coupe or sedan?
If it's a coupe, I'd stay away from those high offsets. However, you CAN put spacers on BUT that will increase the "dangerousness" of the ride.
There's an aggressive wheel thread on here somewhere, they usually always post their specs so that may be a good place to check out.

Wheel changed. Opinions?

Euro Tek Wheels

F: 19"x8.5 Offset +15
R: 19"x9.5 Offset +20

What size tires for a very tiny stretch on these specs since I'm more than certain these will fit for G35 Coupe and exact same style as the previous ones?

Cheap brand, save up for the AGs in a better offset.
I'm riding on G37 sport wheels, like a stock look for now.

yup
Cheap. So are the Avant gardes. Save for better and get offsets at highest in the teens

The AG wheels have terrible offset for a coupe. They will be very sunk. If you want a flush look (but not too aggressive) you want an offset in the teens to 20s. If you're going to stick with the 8.5 and 9.5 staggered width, you could go 225 front and 245 rear and that will give a tiny stretch.

Also since you're getting lowering springs and don't want any camber, you'll need camber kits. Lowering the car will give the car camber so to eliminate that you'll need camber correction kits (rear kits run at about $150 new and front kits about $400).

What difference would it make they are exactly the same look as the AG and $400 cheaper, besides quality and bragging rights? The AG's in G35 Coupe specs still have very weird offsets, I believe 20mm F and 18mm R.

What are you running? But does the specs for the wheels I posted sound good? Like around that? Thanks for the tire advice! If I get camber kit do I need to buy rear ones too? I heard they have adjustable rear camber.

On eBay the Fronts look much cheaper most expensive I seen was close to $250.

I'm running VMR Wheels 19x9.5 +22 all around with 10mm spacers in the rear for an effective offset of +12. They are wrapped in 255/35/19 up front and 255/40/19 in the rear. I went with this setup because I wanted a meatier fitment without a stretch. As you can see it's pretty flush. My fenders are rolled so there's more clearance. Also I have a rear camber kit but no front kit. Usually, you can get by with just a rear kit. I only have about 2 degrees i the front. Here's a photo for reference.

In general, you should stay away from ebay parts... those are cheap for a reason. The camber kits I quoted are made by SPC which is one of the top manufacturers for alignment kits... you don't want to cheap out on those.

Dude it looks good, but it's because I'm going to be on Tein S. Tech and I want to make sure the wheels fit I don't really care too much to stretch but if I have to make it fit I will. I just wanted to know what tires would go best with those specs if I wanted a very light stretch just in case.

I'm on 350z s-techs as well. If you're going to get 8.5 and 9.5 width wheels, I'd go with the 225 and 245 I mentioned above. You shouldn't have any problems with fitment. Just make sure your offset is about 15-25. That will give you the best fitment. Anything more than that and you might have trouble getting it to fit. And don't forget about camber kits if you don't want camber, and consider rolling your fenders if you have to.
