Your going to want a spacer up front since the rear is waaaay more aggressive than the front. I recommend a 10 or 15mm spacer.

Tires, Front: 235/40 Rear, 265/35

I also recommend buying coils and going lower, you're working with weird widths and offsets that don't match at all. Did you by any chance buy these wheels off someone with an MK4 Supra?
No the wheels I like are 20x9 +20 on front and rears are really 20x10.5 +30 offset. I have 2 sets of 25mm spacers wanted to use one in rear thats y

Or you could buy coupe wheels and go to a 255 rear.
if that is the OEM sizing for the coupe..

would it be better to get 235/40/19 as opposed to 235/35/19 on a 9.5
and for the rear 255/35/19 on 10.5??

I wouldn't recommend the 25 out back, it's too much for just a drop on springs.

At the very most I would do a 20mm out back with a flat roll and a full sized tire (275/30)

Either one works, but you're going for a slight stretch here and the 235/35 stretch matches the 255/35 a little better. If you want the 235/40 you can do that too without issues.

Afternoon everyone I am hoping I can get some feedback.

I plan on purchasing a set of wheels, there are three offset options: +0,+12,+22
Wheel Specs: Front 19x9.5 Rear: 19x10.5

Currently my car is not lowered, but in the future I do plan on purchasing coilovers. My question is which offset option should I go with, so that I do not have to roll my fenders?

Coupe or sedan? I assume its a coupe.
I am not 100% sure, but even with the +22 you might have to roll the rear fender slightly.

You should really roll your fenders out of safety...

the +22 you won't need a roll for though (depending how low you go)

You should really just do a search for Varrstoen since I know that's what you're looking at.

Alright guys, I'm shopping around for wheels and I just need some thoughts on this setup for my coupe: [I'll also be lowered on BC BR Type Coilovers]

Work VS-XX (O-Disk all around):

F: 19 x 9.5 +4
R: 19 x 10.5 +17

Tire sizes:

F: 245/35
R: 275/35


Will this be flush?

Also, I am willing to roll the fenders but I'm not to crazy about fender pulling, so will I need do a fender pull at all with this setup?

I know I've posted about this a million times, but I'm really picky about this stuff. I just want to get everything right before I start spending all this money.

Thanks for all the help guys!

The rears will be fine with a flat roll.

The fronts will need a little camber to clear to fenders or a slight roll/pull (you don't notice the pull on the fronts as much)

I have an 04 coupe and I am running the 350z Htechs so alittle less than an inch drop.

I just bought some iforged wheels that are 19x9 +18 in the front and 19x9 +16 rear.

What do you guys think is a good tire size for the front and rear so the ABS, VDC, or speedo dont go whack.

I would like to do the widest tire in the rear thats possible...

Also do you think i will need a fender roll or pull?

They will fit no problem. 245/35/19 front and 265/35/19 rear should do it.

What exactly are you asking?

Tire size is more so preference than anything (little math though) 245/35 and 275/35 is fine for 19s. But the front tire is a little smaller than the rear. Ideally you should be 245/35 and 275/30 to compensate for the additional 30mm in tread width. However, some people like that fat tire in the back and don't want the skinny profile on the rear wheels.

If the rear tire looks too big for your liking, but a 275/30 for your next set of rears.

If the rear tire is the right look and the front looks too small. Buy 245/40 or 255/35 next time you need them.

Either way, you're fine as is.

Sorry, not going through 42 pages to see if my question has an answer out there already. I just picked up the sedan 18's (twin 5-spoke design) for my '06 sedan. They don't have TPMS sensors in them. I want them put in but so far these ain't cheap. I looked on rockauto.com and checked with Discount Tire. I thought about moving my sensors over to the new wheels, but this car is 5 years old and I can't tell if the sensors have been changed in that time. So it would be silly to move them over only for the battery to die and have to go through all this again. Does anyone know where I can buy some lightly used sensors in pristine condition or where I can get new ones without having to sell my first-born to afford them? I know I can drive without them, but my wife drives my car ever so often and I feel better that she knows if there's a tire issue when she is.

Help!

Thanks.
