Tire size help!

What's up guys. I got an 04 g35 coupe and I just bought a set of rims. 19x9.5+12 / 19x11+15. For the front I decided to go with 245/35. For the back I'm still deciding whether or not I should go with 255/35 or 275/35. Im not gonna drop it too low due to bad roads here lol. What tire size is better with a slight drop? Thanks!

You might want a 275/30 just to avoid rubbing issues and it will sit about the same height as a 255/35.
Having not seen your car nor the wheels it's hard to be exact.

Thanks! I'll post some pics after work. But I got brembo brakes on if that helps.

Fronts aren't an issue you can run 245/35X19 but the rear could be a problem. The 19X11 with that offset will require wheel well work and smaller than normal tires for the coupe along with a less than desirable camber setting...Gary

275s will most likely rub if dropped enough or not enough camber is ran

Perhaps he's doing a massive, dare I say insanely debatable amount of pulling and rolling on those fenders??? We just don't know!!!!

Thanks for the reply guys. I'm thinking about going with the 255/35/19. I'm planning on going with drop springs too. Tein s tech or eibach pro kit. Any suggestions?

Go big and do coilovers. Springs will just mess your suspension up longterm wise if you dont upgrade the struts & all.
You can get some cheap coilovers which are known for the best "bang for your buck" around the G community which would be BC coilovers.

That makes sense. I've heard a lot of good reviews about bc coils, but what about tein basics.. Are they any good?

Tein are good. But I believe bc are cheaper. If you're a regular driver that just wants the look of a lowered car, than bc's will do just fine. If you're looking for performance then get sway bars. I felt more of a difference with my stillen sway bars than my bilstein coils.

It's gonna be a daily. Nothing track related. I live in Hawaii. And the roads are not that good lol on top of that its a really small island and there's not enough road to cover. but yeah Ima look into bc coils and see what I can do. Thanks bud!
