wheel tire advice, new to G's

trust me I searched and only partially found my answers.

Im looking to put on 18x10's front and rear with around a +15 to +25 offset. From searching I know this will fit without rubbing using a 265/35 on a barely lowered car, but I couldnt find much stating if this combo would work with a 275/35.

TeamSprocket was using 18x10.5+15's all around with 265/35 Falken 615's, which is the closest in size and offset to what im going for. My difference is of course is that my offset might end up being 20mm (5mm more inward than 15) and my tires will be theoretically 10mm wider.

These are my options as of of now (first wheel preferred):

TR Motorsports MT1, 4x 18x10et25 (20.5lbs)


Enkie RPF1, 4x 18x9.5et15 (maybe a 5mm spacerx4 to push them out)
everyone knows what these look like.

and lastly my other harder option is to find a matching set of rears of my current wheels which arent in production anymore

Racing Sparco NS-06, 4x 18x9.5et22 (5-10mm spacer, 21lbs)


Again, ideally I would be using a 275/35/18 all around. I know most 350Z have been doing this but i haven't found out if too many G35coupes are. Im comfortable with rolling and cutting if need, its very easy to do from past experiences.

Hey man, were you looking at those racing sparco's on craigslist? If you decide to go with those tires that come with it....they might upset your VDC a little bit.

Going 275 wouldn't be a problem at all. I've think i've seen 275 with as low as a +12mm offset with no rubbing at all. Although going 275 would better for VDC, it's still a little too far off from the original staggered ratio. You might need to change the front tires as well.

well it seems you answered your own question. if the 265s fit with no other adjustments in those measurements and you are willing to roll fenders and cut stuff, then fitting 275s should be ok. That's massive though, 275s all around. You should also look into the Wedsport SA-70 very similar to the first wheel you posted and lightweight as well. in 18" less than 20lbs or the SSR type F. very light also

Actually Deez, those are my sparcos for sale in the b-more craigslist. im selling them if i can't find another set of rears to give me 18x9.5 x4...they're discontinued and werent immensely popular so they're hard to come by.

I kind of figured mentioning my lack of concern with cutting and rolling would result in a "just do it" response, so i guess I will just see which wheel I get and go from there.

I'll be sure to post up my results to aide others in future searching.
