What do you mean? Coupes can run far more aggressive specs than sedan. Whats weak on a coupe might sit flush on a sedan.

You can buy them, and maybe swap the rear tires to 265s. they should fit.

But I don't own a sedan soooo.



yolo.

They should be easier to fit if they are 18s. But thats really if you stretch the tire a little. 275 on a 9.5 is not stretched.

From the pics does it appear that his calculations are correct? Now he is telling me they could be +25f +30r

tell him to take off the wheels and read behind the spokes or a sticker on the barrel. usually width and offset is stamped behind the spoke.

I say just buy it. Figure out fitment when it arrives at your door.

Life is too short to not waste money on some wheels that might not fit.

Hopefully this goes over better then in the aggressive thread... So I'm really digging the forgestar f14 wheels but I'm wondering what is the most aggressive size ill be able to fit with out serious modifying(not just fender rolling) is? The sizes available in 19" are
19×9.5 offsets from -25 to +23
19×10 offsets from -19 to +30
19×11 offsets from -6 to +43
19×12 offsets from +6 to +55
Also as far as fitment is concerned how much different are the g35 from the 37? Like if I went with this set up
http://www.stancenation.com/2012/04/...skyline-ckv36/
Would it look as good or would it not even fit?

If your fenders are just rolled. And you have camber arms (rear ones at least) you can run a setup like this.

19x10 -5 with 235/35/19 tires
19x11 -5 with 265/35/19 tires

Your camber should be like -3 degrees front and -4ish rear. If you're willing to stretch tires more and add more camber, you can go even more aggressive.

The gray G35 is running 19x10 -5 front and 19x11 -5 rear.

Okay I own f14. Question do you have a bbk. If so this will really change that I have to show you options. On g35 I have one of the most aggressive sets I have heard of. 19x10 -5 and 19x11 -10 rears. I would say star close to 0. My last setup was 19x9.5 + r and 10.5+5. They might have been 0 I can't remember. But that's what I would say.

As for G35 vs G37 fitment.

The fronts on the G37 are 19x10 -5. On my G35 coupe (the purple one behind the DG in the above picture), I am running 19x10.5 -20. Which is nearly a full inch more aggressive than the G37. Although I'm running -7 degrees of camber. (Could probably get away with -6 but wanted to keep my fenders undamaged).

As for the rears. 19x11 -13 will fit with more camber and 265 maybe 255. Not a problem.

I'm having a hell of a time getting my 19x10 -5 fronts to fit without camber. Granted I have 245 fronts instead. Also, I have 19x11 -10 rears with 275 tires and once again having a heck of a time fitting them with just rolled. I Bharat got some spc camber kits coming my way, which should help.
