Hi,
First, I have 2007 Sedan (V36) journey G35.
I scored these super clean TE37's, staggered front = 19" x 8.5" 35mm offeset; rear 19" x 9.5" 45mm offset. Current tires are 245/35/19 Nitto 555's up front and 275/35/19 Nitto 555's rear. The front tires are trashed, deep cuts on inside, presumably from demon camber.

My questions: Will these offsets work without spacers? I am still deciding whether to run 245/35 or 245/40 up front, any suggestions? The Miata tire calculator tells me 245/40 is closer to stock, and the guy at Discount Tire is freaking out about whether this will all fit. I think it'd be cool to have that raked smaller tire up front look. I've read posts about owners using a smaller tire and they get warning lights.

Also moving to Hankook V12 evo K110, will start with front's then get rears next month - so help with 245/35 or 245/40 is needed soon. Promise to post pics when installed if they work.

Any suggestions about offsets and fitment, and tire sizing? Be greatly appreciated! See pics below:

Both front and rear

Any help will, well help..
Thanks,

Hey what's up; I think that 245/40/19 would be fine. And the rims will fit fine those offsets will work. Is your car lowered or is it at stock height.

 

Not lowered, do you think 245/35/19 will set off warning lights?

 

You should go with 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 to be closest to the stock sizes. This is what I run on my Volk's (my fronts are 19x8.5" +36) without issues.

If you are not lowered, the setup you have should look pretty good. It is also another reason you should stick to the 245/40 in the front....

 

Those offsets will work but you will not be happy with them, you are going to be tucking big time. If it's a good deal get them and run spacers.

 

245/40 would be fine. i run 235/35 and the fender gap is ridiculous. i mounted 255/40 in the rear and it looks perfect but of course it set off my warning light since the front and the rears are off by more than 6%.

 

5u30five,
I'm thinking about getting the limited edition caps, low type. On your TE-37's does the "hub" protrude past the centerbore so much it would interfere with a cap? My winter rims have the centerbore covered and I can't tell without taking the wheels off. I'm not changing over to Volks for 3 weeks. I hope this question makes sense. thanks

 

Actually guys, a better question is how tall is the hub, or how tall is the hub above the hat? I noticed the depth of the hub holes on the 45mm offset is different from that on the 33mm offset.
Thanks for all the help!
