Wheel Sizes And WHAT Offset, WILL I RUB with my choice???

Might get RO_JA R2-5 Wheels

EITHER...
19X10.5 REAR With 19mm
OR should I get a 32mm Offset???
now what size tire should i run on the rear??? 285/??/19 or 275/??/19???

19X9.5 FRONT With 19mm Offset
now what size tire should i run on the front??? ??/??/19

basically which is the best setup for my G35 With Brembo Brakes, and lowered on 350Z TEIN S-techs.

I DON NOT want rubbing, BUT i will do MINOR fender rolling on the rear to get the best lookin setup... thanks for your help

Tires will most likly be michelin pilot sports or pilot sport ps2's

I'm no expert. But +19 front and back with those size should be fine. As for tire I would go with 275/30/19 rear and 245/35/19 front. As for whether it clears the brakes, I think it depends on the kind of face you get for the wheels.

whats the dif between having a 19 offset or a 32 offset in the rear??? will a 32 stick out farther, and have a deeper lip or???

so dont go 285's in the rear, just stick with 275's? cuz i heard alot are running 275's but some say next time theyre gonna go 285's?

32 will be more tucked in with less lip. +19 will actually have more lip. You can probably go with 285 but it may rub depending how low the drop is.

K so 19mm it is then!

The drop will be like 1.4 i think, its the 350Z TEIN S-TECH drop and with LIGHT rear fender rolling do you think id still rub with 285s?

as far as looks go..

19x9.5 +19
255/35

19x10.5 +19
285/35

whether or not this setup will clear oem brembos...i'm not sure. whoever you order your wheels from should be able to help you there.

it's more than likely that you'll need more than a "light rear fender rolling" with +19 offsets, 285/35 tires, and a 1.4" drop.

why will do you "minor" fender rolling and not..."major" fender rolling? as long as it's done properly, it won't hurt anything. hell, "minor" fender rolling has just as much potential to crack your paint as "major" fender rolling if done incorrectly.

should stick with a 35 series tire with 19" wheels. 275/35/19 would be a better choice if he wants 275's in the rear.

thanks for your help! whats MAJOR fender rolling to you? by minor fender rolling i mean doing just the rears and doing it carefully with a lil help from a nother person and heating up the fender as i slowly roll it with some metal pipe or something of the like so that its just tucked up in there as much as i can get it.

would i need to do the fronts at all, or are the fronts usually just fine?

I think the drop is more like a 1.2/1.3 front and 1.1 rear

Do you think doing just that to the rear will fix any rubbing ill have with 285's? or am i gonna need to do alot more then that?

ah, i guess i misunderstood what you mean. by minor, i thought you meant you only wanted to partially roll the fender...or something. and that woulda been pretty hard.

the fronts are already rolled.

ok kool! so yea i shouldnt rub on the front then right?

and for the rear, do you think that fender rolling will be good to clear the 285's?

or would i be better off sticking to 275's

I wont have bad camber either so itll be within spec, because im gettin SPC kits front and rear.

so with all that done what would you get 275, or 285's?

i prefer the look of 285s because i like meaty tires. but that's just a personal preference. ultimately, you just have to decide what you like better.

springs are notoriously known to provide inconsistent drops...in my experiences at least. put the springs on and let them settle.

i'm getting the same wheels as suspect.. but the only difference is that i'm going to be using the H techs instead of the S.. i'm just wondering what size tires would i have to get so that i wouldn't need to roll my fenders..

also for the people that has 19" with H techs.. do you guys think that it'll look funny with those springs? instead of the S

with a +19 rear and a 285, you'll almost for sure rub so a roll will be required, you may clear a 275 depending on the tire
