What tires should I put on a 10.5/19 and 11.5/19 if I'm not stretching, and if stretching I just want enough to get that round look on the tire besides the boxy look from not stretching. I'm currently looking at hankook v12 from tire seeing as I can't find any one that's selling tires for a decent price any more, please help guys ready to buy tires now and ready to put my new whrels on.

To do 20s you need to be dropped.

To run those tiny tires you need to run spacers.

for that front wheel (20x10.5 +35) you need a spacer to clear suspension.

Look at different wheels IMO

With a name like daily stanced I'd think you would know simple stretches!

Tires depend on offset, only stretch if you need to.

Mild stretches on 10.5/11.5 stagger would be something like 255/35 and 275/35.

V12 are **** if you're running camber, you'll be through them in 2k miles.

What are you asking? What size tires to run or what size spacers to run?

You need to decide what final offset you want in order for me to tell you what tires to run.

Run 225/35 and 245/35.

Those are even stretches. Don't want them to be uneven.

Can probably fit 25mm front and rear as long as you're low enough.

Hey everyone, Im looking to get Vossen CV3's for my G35 coupe lowered on eibock springs. What offset should I get for a 20x9 and 20x10.5 I dont want any stretch on the tire. But I want to be flush. Id like to run a 285 tire in the rear and a 265 up front. What do you guys recommend?

anybody stretched tires on stock 19's wheels and space them out aggressively? Just curious if it would look stupid or not?

Ok so then I guess ill get the wheels and sale the new 245/30/20 all around. What tires would you recommend for me to get. Like the height on the tires but could do with out the stretch but don want to complete engulf the lip with the tire but do want something that would protect them from potholes

what offset options are there?

Aim for a +10ish front and rear.

Is this a real question? I see you post on here a fair bit so I'm assuming your kidding.

You just used "but" 3 times in one sentence...

Ideal tire size is 275/30/20.

Just picked up some 18" 350z Anniversary wheels to replace my stockers as a winter set up. I believe they are 8" 30+F and 8.5" 33+R with 225/45 on the front and 245/45 on the rear. I'm not lowered on anything yet but I plan on getting some Eibach Sportlines to use forma while or maybe just go straight to BC coilovers. Either way I'm abt to buy spacers for a flush look and I was thinking 25mm fronts and 32mm rears. My fenders are already rolled so my question is will these spacers work once I drop the car 2-2.5 inches without running a lot of negative camber or pulling my fenders? I prefer the meaty tire look with no wheel gap. Or will I need smaller spacers?

25s in the front should be fine, 32s might be getting a little greedy, but if you drop it enough and gain enough camber you'll be fine. If not you might need a very slight pull or to add a hint of camber.

In short, yea those spacers can work.

Answer is.... Nothing. 8 and 8.5 are too small to stretch on. You need a 205 or smaller to even start pulling bead on an 8.5.

Thanks for clearing that up- should've thought about that one.

Another q, not wheel related(but I know ur not into pm), did you use plug play projector kit for your lights in the high beam? If so which one, morimoto?

Thanks

I found some XXR 006, black with Copper lips, I think they would great on my OB G35 coupe. I do not have any other mods besides sway bars, it is the 06 model with sport suspension. The wheels are 20" x 10" with a +35 offset. Will those fit or am i going to need spacers, if so, what size spacers? Or should I find a different rim. Also, they have 20" x 8.5" +35, not sure if I want to stagger them or go with 10" all the way around, any help will help......they go off sale today.
