Tire size help for the M45 sport rim 8.5"
Tire size help for the M45 sport rim 8.5"
Hello,
Im about to get some tires for my M45 sport rims that I have for my 03 g35 sedan. My problem before was that the rim without a spacer seemed to rub a bit up front on the upper control arm, I had 225/40/19 on the front tires, and those were so stretched that the ride felt awfull. At the time I was lowered on some skunk 2 springs, but now I have stance coilovers installed. I was wondering if it would be safe to put a 245/40/19 tire up front, or will it cause even more rubbing. I was thinking of putting 5mm spacers all around to make sure that this wouldnt happen. Can someone give me their input before I place an order for new tires.
Thanks!

235/35/19 might clear, but the tire wall is shorter than 225/40/19 so that doesn't help on your ride quality. And the difference between 235/35/19 and 255/40/19 is more than 5% so you will have VDC and ABS issues.
