I'd recommend rolling the rear and throwing a 15 or 20mm spacer on the rear and a 10 or 15 on the front.

As for tires, 275/30 would be ideal, but it's a pretty large tire up front. Depends how low you want to go.

will I need any more fender work if I run 19x9.5 +10 19x10 +10 on an 05 sedan? my rears are cut but my fronts are stock. also, what would the amount of negative camber look like if I were to run these?

Tire pressure question. 4 days ago, my low tire pressure light came on. I checked the tire, and sure enough it was at 28 psi. So I filled it back up to 35 psi. This morning driving home from work, it came on again. I check my tires, all fine but the one I had to fill and it is back at 28 psi. I can't find a hole in the tire. Do I have a rim leak? How do I find this leak and fix it?

Thanks G forum!

Why do you want to run a 10.5" up front? yea 275, but this isn't an ideal set up.

What tire sizes? You're getting pretty aggressive with those specs. You're going to need at least a 225/35 up front and 225/35 or 235/35 in the back. Cut fender won't help you, you're going to need to roll and pull and add about -4 degrees of camber.

Take it to a wheel shop and ask them to reseat the tire in question, it could just be a small leak caused from some dirt on bead. If you want to find the issue yourself, remove the wheel and spray some soapy water around the edge of the wheel. If that doesn't work start spraying it around the tread until you seem some bubbling from the air escaping.

I'm getting wheels that are 20x9.5 and 20x10 +15 all around
Do you think 255/30 and 285/30 will rub
I'm pretty low as well. Thanks

or should i just stick with 245/30 and 275/30?

With a rear roll you'll be fine. If the front rubs pull the fender liner screws out.

Depends what size spacer, in the front you could probably handle a 15 or 20 without rubbing but the rear you may start to rub with just a 10, you'll have to see what you're camber is at to really know what the rear can handle.

I narrowed my search to these 2 for a winter set. Looking to buy soon. Which would sit more flush?

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/n...590547242.html

or the original 350z wheel?
