I ordered 19 x 8.5 SSR GT3 wheels & 245/35/19 Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position tires from the Tire Rack. These are listed on their website as a fit. Before they shipped them, someone over there called to let me know I would probably have to *roll the fenders* for clearance! Uh, no thank you...

I stepped down to 18 x 8 SSR GT1 wheels with the same brand/style tires in 225/45/18 YR. They told me I should have no fitment ills with these 18s whatsoever.

My hastily revised order shipped from Shreveport on Friday the 28th via FedEx. I should get them tomorrow or Tuesday.

I can't wait...!

I went with 225/45/18's to maintain the outside diameter of the tire as close to stock as possible. Also, I did not want to have speedometer accuracy problems, not to mention fitment problems with the wheel/tire. These are due in tomorrow...

Your going to love those tires, try to brake them in before you do anything too crazy

Is there only benefit to be gained by going from 17 -> 18 inch wheels?
or can you buy new tires (specs?) to fit the stock 17 inch wheels that would improve performance?

Re: Has anybody tried 245's with 18's or 19's yet?
 

The stock rims are only 7" wide, althought 235/50/17 will fit, they are a little wide for the rim. 225/45/18 will give you an even lower/stronger sidewall and better cornering abilities.

Re: Has anybody tried 245's with 18's or 19's yet?
 

By going from a 17" wheel to an 18" wheel, you can move to a wider, lower-profile tire that handles better while maintaining a near-stock outside diameter measurement. If you use a lower-profile tire on a 17" rim, the outside diameter decreases.

According to Michelin and Bridgestone, the 235/50/17 tires will work fine on the stock G35 17"x7" rims. They both say the 235/50 size is intended for 6.5"-8.5" rims, and the 7" rims of the G35 will work great. The speedo error of the 235/50's is insignificant also, reading 60.14 mph instead of 60.00 mph with the stock 215/55's. I'm going for 235/50's on the stock 17" rims, picking up over 3/4" of added tire width, using the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires.

I never said the 235/50/17 wouldn't fit the 7" rims, just that for optimal performance they are a little wide. If you go to tirerack and click on the specs for that size you'll see that the measured rim for 235/50/17 is 7.5". So putting them on 7" rims will not give you the full 3/4" increse in width, nor will the contact patch be as flat as if you had wider rims. Also look at 225/55/17, a little larger in overall dia. but many more choices in that size.

what about Q45 tires and wheels? would this fit on a G35?
235/45/18... would this fit and if so are there any issues

thanks in advance

Re: Has anybody tried 245's with 18's or 19's yet??
 

I believe that even 255's will fit on their, but just the back only..the front can most likely only hold 245s.

This is still an assumption, I was gonna check with america tires later today if it is possible.

Re: Has anybody tried 245's with 18's or 19's yet??
 

Somehow the shop managed to jam 245's on a 18" X 7.5" wheel. I was tired of waiting for the BT03s to arrive so i went with what was in stock here in order to get the sedan on the track in July. Those T1S Proxes are awesome tires; there have been no traction issues with them at all. I like them better than the SO2s I have on my sports car.

there is a photo in my rides
