Ordering TOMORROW, need to know what sizes i should get? HELLLP!!!!!

Im looking at getting these rims for my 2003 G35 Coupe 6MT with Brembos...

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

Im getting 19"s staggered for sure but I dont know what offset or widths to get?

Im lowered on 350Z S-Techs and its about a 1.2-1.3 front, 1.1 rear drop, i dont want any major rubbing and i will be getting the fenders rolled.

so with all that in mind which offsets/widths do you reccomend for a nice clean flush wheel front and back?

and then also what TIRE sizes do you reccomend for BFGoodrich KDWs, or Michelin Pilot Sports

THANKS!

9.5+19/10.5+19 sounds good for an aggressive fitment with a fender roll, run 255/35/19 front 285/35/19 rear and you'll be set. I prefer falkens, but pilot sports are great if you can afford them

+1, they'll look nice and agressive with those offsets and tire sizes.

les schwab was telling me that +19 will be too aggresive and stick out the rear a lil bit and could rub? i dont wanna get cornered into a rim thats gonna rub like crazy!!!!! are you sure that with the +19 offset with my drop ill be good?

tire rack reccomends a 225 40 19 front and 275 35 19 rear... why is that?

tire rack recommends SAFE offsets and tire sizes because they dont want you to get pissed in case anything happens or doesnt fit, they're just covering they're a$$es. Trust me, RedLude and I know our ish when it comes to offsets or anything for that matter. These will fit, they will be pretty aggressive but if you roll/cut the fenders you'll be fine. If you're really worried about rubbing then you can go with 245/35F 275/35R

ill be getting hotchkiss sway bars too so wouldnt that help to keep me from rubbing as well in corners and bumps?

all i need is the rear fenders rolled correct??? and how hard/ expensive is it to have the fenders rolled? could i do it myself or should i take it somewhere?

oh and will i be able to run in spec camber, or will i have to have my camber negative to compensate for the aggresive offsets and such? I have SPC camber kits all around on all 4 corners

Since your drop isnt too aggresive you should still be able to run atleast -1.2 camber, max factory spec is -1.8 for the coupe so you'll be well within that.

You can roll them yourself, there is a DIY here on the forum. Search member 'accordfreak' and you'll find it. It is not hard, just a little time consuming if you dont want to crack paint.

thanks! yea i was looking at redludes pics of when he added +25 mm spacers in the rear, on a 19.5 wheel with a 350Z h-tech drop and he has -1.5 camber in the rear.

Still think ill be ok? his wheel just looked fricken CLOSE!! and tucked!!!!!

ALSO do you think those wheels im lookin at will be lighter then my stock 18's? any idea how much the stock 18's weigh?

thanks so much for the help man!

Redludes wheels fit fine with the spacers, very close, but they still fit, so yours will be no problem. You will be able to run -1.5 camber in the rear, if not a little more positive. Those Rays wheels will be a pound or two more per wheel, but nothing drastic like a 1 piece cast wheel. I'm sure Redlude can get you the exact weight on em.

def will need to roll or cut the rear fenders with +19. as for the front, you don't need to do anything. go with the above recommendations on 255/35/19 front and 285/35/19. those offsets will look perfect on your g.

if volk gt-s +17 10.5's fit with a 285 and a roll, then a +19 will have more clearance, you'll be fine
