They look nice on the new sedan!

But IMHO those tire sizes are small even for the older sedan much less your newer style. At those widths, the aspect ratio should be 40 series.

The tires are too small...245/40/19 I think is almost a perfect fit to stock. I've got 225/40/19 on my fronts and even those were noticeably too small before the drop. This only makes your need for a drop that much more dramatic...

Looks good...obviously I'm biased though...

40 is a better fit. I believe you can go 245 up front and 265 in the back without issues.

I just put these on my 04 6MT. They look nice with the Brembos.

I was going to go with 40 series, but my local shop had these combo tires at a more reasonable price so i went with them. Next time a change tires, I'll go with bigger widths and 40 series. I'm happy with the way the car looks. Personally, I like the way the wheels sit with the gap in person. Would like to drop it, but clearance is an issue for me. Anyway this setup looks better than the stock 17's.

Thanks for the feedback.

Definitely looks better than the stock 17"s, I'll agree with you there. But I'm partial to the 18" Sport rims myself.

I'm surprised it looks that good. I would expect the offsets for the coupe wheels to be too low and stick out on the sedan. What is the offset on these?

If I'm not mistaken, the front rims are 19"X8" with +30mm offset. Rears are 19"X8.5" with a +33mm offset.

They sit perfectly flush with the body and it now has a really nice stance. I worried about the same thing as you are commenting, but after seeing some people in these forums with them on, I convinced myself.

I also thought the gap would have been really affected, but it actually looks ok. I still have my 2002 Altima 3.5, and when I compare the gaps between them, the G35 looks perfect, jajajaja.

since the 07 is a bigger car, the cpe 19s look like 18s on your car. The rear offset is not aggressive enough for the 07.....it looks tucked on the 07s...spacers?. Perhaps a conservative drop would help out on this and wider tires...265 rear and 245s in front.

These wheels look best on the 1st gen.
having said that, they still look nice.

What do you guys think about 245-40-19 front and 255-40-19 Rear?
