Hey guys, I got a set of 19" wheels in size 19x8.5 with a 29 offset and 19x9.5 with a 38 offset. What size tires do you recommend?

 

245/35/19 Front and 275/35/19 back are the correct sizes. You also might want to think about a spacer for that rear wheel. Try to move the offset out to something like +30mm.

Would it rub if I run 40 in the front with 35 in the rear?

 

No it wont rub, however you'd lose the stagger, which might upset the VDC. The car is designed around the stagger.

whats worth more, the protection or keeping the stagger?

 

Im also having problems deciding also. I got 19x8.5 for all 4 rims with a +40 offset. i was thinking of going 245/35-19 all the way around so i can rotate tires because I dont have alot of money rite now to replace rear tires when they're bald. What will a 40 offset look like and will that be good on a G35 Sedan with sport suspension? And should I just go for the 245 front and 275 rear??? Thanks for your help, Martin

Wat'ssss Realllyyyy Goooodddd!!!!!

Keep the stagger. You can have your cake and eat it too, by eather running 18" wheels (as I do) all the way around or run 18s in the front and 19s in the back, as on the C5 Corvette.

The sedan is not designed with a stagger. Run the same sizes front and rear, as with stock. Just pick out tires that have the same outer diameter as you current 17" wheel/tire combo.

i can't run 18s, since I have a set of 19s sittin in the back seat :-).
