im pretty sure there are posts very similar to this one but im still not sure what tire size to go with. so how many G's are out there running a 35/35 or a 35/30 19 combo on there g35 coupe 5AT.(no brembo) also will either sizes throw the vdc off? my wheels should be ariving soon thats why i need info on what tire size to go with. thanks...

 

To piggyback on this thread, I'm buying wheels today and was wondering why people are running a 35/30 stagger? The 35/35 is the closest to stock diameter you can get with 19" wheels.

Here's some more info I posted elsewhere:

Stock front diameter = 25.97"
245/35/19 = 25.75"
255/35/19 = 26.03" (not much difference)
255/40/19 = 27.02" (basically a .5 inch lift and about 5 % speedo error)

Stock rear diameter = 26.68"
275/30/19 = 25.50"
275/35/19 = 26.58"
275/40/19 = 27.66" (another .5 inch lift in the back)
285/30/19 = 25.73"

so i take it your gona be running on 35/35's? what brand tire are you goin with? thanks for that little tire ratio thing in that previous post...

 

I just bought some new ones about 30 minutes ago. I went with the Pilot Sports again. I have no complaints in the 11000 miles I've driven so far so I didn't want to take the chance of getting something louder or with worse tire wear. I wanted the new Eagle F1s but they don't come in 275/35. The Michelin's are expensive but I'm more concerned with noise and tire wear than stickiness.

thanks for the info, yeah i decided to go with the 35's since that would be the closest to the stock diameter. im lookin at a set of falkens or s03's. but im still waiting for my wheels so im pretty much just shopping around for the best deal i can get on the tires. thanks for your help and info.. you gotta post the pictures of your car when you mount your wheels.

 

What wheels did you get?
