Opinions on this wheel/tire setup?
I've scowered through classifieds (here, 350z, Lexus, etc.) and can't find any damn setups that I like that are around the $2k range, but I ran across these new wheels on TireRack and am actually digging them, but wanted to get your opinions on the look and what spacer you'd recommend since they're limited in the sizes.
Here's the rims: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Price
As you can see they only come in 19" 8.5 +45 (the silver ones come in 9.5" +45) and I'd just run 245/40/19 all-around, which I'm actually ok with since I can rotate the tires around this way. This would be going on my 07 G35S 6MT in Liquid Platinum if it helps at all...of course the flush look is nice, but I'd rather have more tire life and have the wheels tucked a bit for better tire wear.
Give me your thoughts...Ideally I'd like to run 8.5 +37 and 9.5 +45, but obviously it doesn't always work out if you can't find what you're looking for.
Thanks!

If you're looking to sacrifice looks for tire life then just run those wheels with 10mm spacers all around.
I say get the wheels first, toss them on and see if you like the look. If you feel they're too tucked even with the stock springs then 10mm would bring them out just enough.

Any idea how this setup would affect my Toe?
Also, I'm dropped on Tein H-Tech's, so about 1.5" all around.
Thanks so far guys...trying to figure out what route I'm going to go.

get an alignment to see your specs, correct them as close as they can to oem specs.
once you lowered your car, your toe went out of spec. Front and rear toe can be corrected without camber/toe kits. No kit- Front camber cant be touched but rear can be adjusted slightly.

if you run these specs, go with 245/35 275/35
I think it will give the best look your looking for without sacrificing ride quality, and still give you the look you desire.

Nice looking wheels.
The only downside is that black wheels like this tend to look smaller than they actually are because of the silver ring around the inside. What colour is you G?

Ah, loving the Forgestars...specifically the F10 in Piano Black. Anyone know a good place to get them (been reading about the horror stories)? Checked out element and vivid...

Alright...got another question for you Sedan Guru's...
Will this fit with no problems and rubbing?
19x8.5 front +29
19x9.5 back +34
I'm lowered about 1.5" and I assume the above is pushing it. Looking at a set of used Volks, since I'd prefer to go with a set of used Volks instead of brand new Forgestars (although I love the F10) for the same price.
