245/40/19 or 245/35/19 on 9,5" ET25 G35x sedan
So guys I think, I've found new wheels for summer! Setup is G35x 2008 sedan on BC coils and Hotchkis sways.
Now I'm in doubts what tires to run! Now I have 245/35/20 on 8 ET40
So no stretch on this one, and wheels are hollow into the car even with 10mm spacers.
A 9,5" ET25 looks to be semi aggresive on a sedan (especially for Russia
) and will make a stretch on a 245 tire
But what tire to run? I've seen only 9,5" ET15 on 245/35/19 (BBS LM reps) LightsOut ride...

The 19x9.5 +25 is really aggressive for the sedan, and you will likely rub. I am running a 20x9" +25 with a 245 tire, and I slightly rub on the front fender liner. Your setup will stick out about 6mm further than mine, and will be even more likely to rub. I am lowered on Tein coilovers, and running about -2 degrees of camber all around.
If you are planning to run 9.5" wheels with 245 tires, you really need something like a +32 offset (or higher) to keep from rubbing. That 6-7mm will make a big difference. This is just from my experience, but I have tried a lot of different wheel and tire sizes looking for the right combination.

Sorry for posting in your topic Blondine.
But guys, I'm gonna put Eibachs instead of my Impuls, and thinking about getting Vossens 20x9 ET32 with 245\35 all around on my G35X, will it flush, or will it be just fine?
Another option is the same but ET38.
What do you think?

mine are 20x9.5 et 15/245/35/20
so you should go with with 9.5 et 25 245/40/19 or 255/40/19 if you want the combo poke out a bit more( but with less stretching)

^ I don't see how you can run that without either rubbing, a lot of negative camber (over -2.5), or stretched tires. My 245's rub and my wheels are at least 15mm less aggressive than yours.

I don't want to use spacers....will +32 match the fender?

Maybe our fenders are different?

The +32 will be tucked in about 5-7mm from the fender, maybe a little less with Eibachs. It will be pretty flush, but I would not say "perfectly" flush. It really depends on the exact alignment of your car, so unless you know that, it is hard to say exactly how it will fit.
The 20x9 +25 wheel I am running was perfectly flush with my fender when I had Eibachs, but the 245/35 tire rubs just slightly on my fender liner. A 235/35 tire, or a +27 offset should get around the rubbing.

Dude, not to call you out or anything, but in another thread you said you may have +20 or +25 wheels, and that you weren't sure. Now you are saying +15. It is a little reckless to recommend something when you aren't even sure exactly what you have. 10mm is a big difference when you are pushing the limits of what will fit, or not. I am certain that a 20x9.5 +15 will rub without some serious negative camber or stretched tires.
Then something like the 9.5" +25 will work for you. I would not go much more aggressive than that. Just my opinion, but I think you will rub.
I would do a 235 the first time just to see where you are, and then adjust camber accordingly. The 245 may stretch enough on a 9.5" wheel, but I can't say for sure. My issue is I decided not to go with a front camber kit, so the only way to really change camber is to lower/raise the car. I really need a little more negative camber in the front, but I just don't want to lower the car anymore. So, I will have to live with rubbing a little with my 245's. I will probably go with 235's next time.
