Question about 19's for '03 Sedan

I'm installing 19's tomorrow that are a staggered set with the following specs...
19x8" with 225/40/19
19x9" with 285/35/19

Will I run into any issues with the rear set-up? The G is not dropped or rolled.

Any input greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I believe that rear tire is to wide for that wheel. Plus you didnt post offsets.

You have a good chance you'll need to roll the fenders

The tires are already mounted on the wheels, they were on 350z. I'm trying to find out what the offset is. They were put on a G Sedan for a photo shoot, but I don't know if they drove the car at all while the wheels were on.

Showing my ignorance here, but do I dare ask how difficult it is to have the fenders rolled?

If this works, I will post pictures.

Thanks for your assistance to my questions.

You have a few issues. First you're putting 11.2" of rubber on a 9" wide wheel. Not a huge problem for a 350Z or G coupe but I"M GUESSING you'll need at least a +38 or higher offset WITH a fender roll to get that under your sedan and even then you MIGHT need - camber.

It's all about the offset, so what is it?

Got the wheels put on. You were all correct, the rears are too wide. Having the fenders rolled tomorrow assuming we can negotiate the right price.

If unable to get rolled, which is a very good case. These will be on Ebay immediately.

hey you will have to roll the fenders in the back by alot and also the tire is to wide the best is 265 that's about the wides you'll be able to go and the off set is not the same as the coupe and 350. but if you want them to fit you'll have to get the rim cut about 3 to 4 mm.

Get a closer shot and one from the back of the car to see how far they stick out.

Here's a shot from the rear. Hard to tell that they stick out just under an inch.

If they stick out an inch at the top of the fender you should go with something else for sure. Rolling the fenders will only move the lip on the inside of the wheel well up against the inside of the fender, if they are in fact sticking out at the top past the fender a roll will not change your situation.
