What Tire Size Should I Run On My New Wheels? Please Help

I have a 04 G35 Coupe 6MT with the factory Brembo package. I am in the process of purchasing a set of Racing Hart Type-CR 3piece...

F: 19 x 9 +26

R: 19 x 10 +22

I am running Tein S-tech lowering springs but other than that my suspension setup is stock. What size tires should I run on the new wheels so that nothing rubs and it looks good? Thank a lot...i don't really know sh*t about tires since I've only had the stock ones on but I'd really appreciate any help.

+1 - i just think 285/30 rear is going to look the best. The sidewall will match the front.

Ok thanks guys....from what I found I was thinking.....

255/35/19 Front and
275/35/19 Rear

The only thing i was worried about is the tires rubbing or me having to modify the fender wall if i went bigger due to the Tein S-Tech.

Do you think I'd have a problem if I went with your recommendations??

If your car is slammed 285/30 might might rub, but you have to be really low. 285/30 rear.

It's not slammed but its definitely lower than stock.....i think the S tech lower the car -1.2 inch in the front and -0.9 inch in the rear.....so do you still think the 285/35 will work?

Thanks again

I have 255/35/19 & 275/35/19 on the GT-S wheels and Im also lowered on S-Techs and they rub on bumps/dips in the road.

IMO, to look "good" the only option is 255/35/19 and 285/35/19, with a fender roll if necessary. It will be close, but it should clear without a roll, and maybe require a slight roll depending on your camber settings

I think I'm going to go with Falken 452s

255/35/19 in the Front and
275/30/19 in the Rear.

From what I've read this should work well and still look good without breaking the bank.

My last question is would the 275/30 in the rear prevent the rubbing more so than a 275/35......or wouldn't there be a difference at all really? Let me know...thanks everyone!

275/30/19 is a horrible choice for the rear. You shouldn't rub with a 275/35/19 anyways, only a 285 would possibly rub
