Aggressive Wheels & Stretched Tires: Post 'Em Up! [[Some NSFW]]

REAR: 19x10 - 225/40/R19
those sizes will give you a TON of clearance and room to work with (so u dont have to add a bazillion degrees of camber to make them fit right)
also...those sizes are meant for a car with rolled fenders...u can still fit em to non rolled fenders...BUT...ull need to add camber to keep the sidewalls from getting torn up

front 8.5x19 215/35/19 with atleast a -12 offset
rear 10x19 235/35/19 with -6 offset
roll fenders and adjust camber as nessery for clearance and your good if this is for show only.

ive been running stretched tires for quite a few years now...ive never had a problem with them (and this is drifting and drag racing with them...my car is a mid to high 12 second car as well)
how do you think people fit 18x10s/18x12s on 240s??? how do you u think u fit crazy deep offsets on FM chassis with stock rolled fenders??
camber and stretched tires
trust me...youll be fine on stretched tires...get a good tire with a thick sidewall and ull be fine (i recommend federal 595s or falken azenis 615s)

It is doing that stretch on those narrow wheels by using tires narrower than what comes stock on the g35. This is why I suggested IvoryGT get different wheels, there isn't a good way to stretch tires on those wheels. Not only is there a load issue as I mentioned before, but running a stretched 235 on the rear of a g35 with aggressive fitment would just look stupid because it is so narrow. The car would look like a crab. If rims with the correct width were used, you can get away with a stretch while running tires wider than stock and still get the same fitment and stretch as your suggested fitment.
Ahhh, yet again i come across another never ending thread based on the skill of

EDIT: i have drifted on these tires, ran threw pot holes, and whent offroading on this setup with out blowing the bead...
