Well, I went to the tire shop today and this is what we ended up with. My wheels only come in a 35 or 20 mm offset. Obviously we have the 35's. We originally tried a 275 on the rear with a 9.5" wide rim, but it stuck out way to far. So, we went to a 8.5" all the way around with 255/35/20 all the way around. Looks good, just waiting on the springs now. I went with Eibach on the springs for the pure reason they were designed with a sedan non sport suspension in mind. I'll post pics when I am done.

 

255 in the front? No rubbing? I think the most we can put on is 245.. correct me if I'm wrong.

 

+35 mm offset.... we tried a 245/35/20 up front and a 255/35/20 in the rear, but the way the fender lines are cut higher in the front, combined with the tad bit smaller side wall of the 245/35 it just doesn't look right.

The 255/35 on all 4s is the perfect look with +35 mm offset.

Any input on rubbing would be appreciated. .....

 

This is the sedan forum so we know that area better.

I tried 255's on my front before and they rubbed bad. My wheels are +40.

They will fit a coupe just fine. You can run a much more aggressive offset and tire on the coupe than the sedan.

 

i believe a 255/35/20 with a +35mm would not rub unless you lowered the car...

 

My car is lowered 1.2 in the front so I can't say for sure. I would think they would be ok. If he is a coupe with +38 first off he has the wrong wheels, +22 to +25 is more for the coupe but at least he won't rub.

 

I just realized he has a coupe... wtf, don't confuse me like that in a sedan section! lol

 

I am an idiot sometimes..... I named myself wrong... I do have a sedan. Any idea how to change my name and still stay linked to all (haha, all 4) my posts?

Any ways, we are going to lower it and test it out. What part rubs in the front? Does it rub simply from bounce, or when you turn?

I guess I could try 245's all the way around..... The wheels I got sound like the wrong offset, but I have read on here that a 255 on all 4's was the perfect size. You guys know best, shoot every tire thread I see you guys are in it...you work at a tire shop or someting?

 

I would just rejoin now before you get too many posts. I tried to change my name to match my my350z name for quite a while with no luck and I am even a premier member.

 

Yes, I will after this round of posts dies down.

Thanks for all your help with the wheels and tires. I ended up going with Eibach Sport Line and ADR +35 mm offset sterlings. 255/35/20 on all 4's. It looks real good.

Would look better if I could get that front lip!

 

Where Does One Pick Up A Set Of Z Springs??

 

Why not eibach? my ride is great, drop is even, couldn't be happier...
