Unlike the coupes and 350z's there just isn't a lot of scope.
Welcome.

285 + 9.5" with enough negative camber (on the order of over 2-deg) and the right offset can work. That is about the absolute max one could achieve. But again, if you have coilovers then better stay way because they will hit when cornering or hitting bumps -- a seriously safety hazard. I know this from first hand observation, but thankfully not mine.

I also have a 1" Eibach drop. The fronts look great, no rubs no probs; perfect. As for the rears, it rubs ever so slightly on bumps. I will have to roll the fenders. A +48 offset would probably not have rubbed. It's NOT a good idea to go any more aggressive than +40 for rears on the setup I have. But I have to admit......it looks WICKED!!
Do you have any pic's? I'm thinking about:

Tein s-tech springs (sold as 350z springs)
19x8.5 +32
19x9.5 +40

I think I will need the rear's rolled...

Depends on which 285's then. I have a set of 285 Hoosier R6's and the section width is 11.5". Measured from the rear shock to my rolled inner fender it is only 11.3" so there's NO way they could ever go in. Other 285s may well have narrower sections. Even with 275s it's so close I can't imagine why anybody would really want to push it to 285's where the clearances become none-existent.

I'm running 18"x8" +33 coupe wheels on the street. I'm thinking about having the rears widened to 9.5" to accomodate 275's, especially if I actually go for major power upgrades. (I'm thinking of cams, headers and Osirus tune for stage one, STS turbo for stage 2 and a built block and increased boost for stage 3)

i'm running 275/35/19 on a 9.5" wheel with +45. lowered on coilovers, very aggressive drop and used to rub, raised it 1/2 in and it's perfect, no more rubbing and the wheel sits flush, looks great.

Hi, I need some recommendation. I'm going to buy a set of 19" rims, all around non-stagger setup for my 03 sedan. The rims will be in 19x8.5 but I have a choice of +35 or +45 offset. I'm going to use 235/35/19 tires all around. I wonder which offset is better?

I read through this message, I know the back should be +45 for sure, but then should I use +35 for the front? or what if I buy +45 all around, in case the front is too "inside", I use 3mm spacer or something?

thanks for any input.

I recently picked up a set of wheels for my 04 sedan. They're 18x8.5 with 45 offset. My question is will they fit on my sedan without any rubbing? I like the wheels but I don't want to invest into some tires if they aren't going to work. tia!

northsideracing has 19x9 +45, 19x10 +45 on a dumped setup. He clears in the inside suspension fine on the fronts.

I'm currently on 20x9 +38, 20x10 +44 and it cleared the inside front suspension fine with about a finger gap.

I'm thinking of running a square tire/wheel setup with 255/35R19s with a +42 offset. Specially these wheels...

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/enk-4299956542hb

Looking at the fitment chart it looks like I will hit the front suspension upright? Is the the correct understanding? It also looks like I will need to roll the fenders. I read somewhere on here of a member running this tire size with a +38 offset on an 8.5 inch rim I believe and having no problems. Any input would be appreciated.
