Two questions for you tire guru's!
I'm about to purchase some varrstoen 1.1.2's (9.5" +12, 11" +15), I'm lowered on BC's, rear fenders rolled.
I need new front tires so I am going to purchase a set of 235/35/19's for the front, and until my rears wear out I will be running a 275/35/19 in the rear. Will i run into any issues for the time being until i go with a 255/35/19?
And at that point, will i run into any issues with a 255/35/19 on an 11" wheel?
Thanks guys.

Is it a safety hazard at all to cut my rear spring mounts? I want a 1" drop all around and I'm trying to find the cheapest way possible.
also, why shouldnt I cut my springs? I see people saying not to do it but there really hasn't been any explination as to why not... I do have backup springs, and my bushings are already shot lol I figured the only thing I would need to replace(again) is my end links after a while...

Ask on VSC man.
Stay away from the nexens though, they're absolute ****.
I would do the 235/265 combo but depending on your camber out back you might be okay with the 275.
Same as any other tire, just because they are not fat tires doesn't change the amount of pressure needed because pressure is no volume. That's how pressure works.
Varrstoens this and that....
Whoever told you that you need to adjust camber for that is an idiot. never listen to his/her advice again.
It's one thing to cheap out on the wheels but cheaping out on the tires and buying nexen time bombs is not recommended.
I would run +12 all around, but in reality you've seen 1000 other G35s or 350z on varrstoens that come in the exact same specs as these. Please visit one of those threads. If you can't figure it out off the first page of this section then something is wrong.
Would you buy a broken car seat for your kids?
Don't cheap out, spacers are not to be ****ed with as your life can easily depend on their durability.
Those are slip ons I'm pretty sure, so he'd need studs as well.
Answered!
You won't NEED a roll, but I would highly recommend one as I do with all set ups that are more aggressive than stock. But as parhamm says later, do the +12s or get the 19x9 19x19 +25 Better suit for the car.
245/40 and 275/35
Springs suck, 99% of the time you install springs you wish it was a little bit lower or a little bit higher so you'll switch to different springs. At this time you're already $500 into springs.
Do it right the first time and go for coils, well worth the money.
If you think you can run a 275 opposed to a 255, why are you planning to run a 255?
No, springs mounts are fine as they are literally just moving where the spring is located.
Looking for the cheap way out is not the way to do things, I know you bought your car for little to nothing but at least treat it like it was once a 45k car.
1. The heat of cutting them will change the properties of the steal. They will become brittle and possibly crack.
2. The spring is designed with a certain amount of compression and height. Change the height, you change the compression.
3. Because of the above, the spring will no longer remain captive.
4. Instant defect.
5. Insurance wont pay out if involved in an accident.
6. Lowering springs are cheap
7. Last but not least, they will ride like ****.

I am planning on buying 19'' varrstoen 4.4.2 but I am not sure what will be needed in order to fit these wheels on my 04 coupe. I have never seen these wheels on a g35, only on a genesis.
Front size 19 x 9,5 offset + 12
Rear size 19 x 10,5 offset + 12
There is also possibility of having these with a +22 offset front+rear. What do you guys think would be better offset, +12 or +22 ?
Tires will be Nexen N3000 245/35/19 Front and 275/30/19 Rear.
I'd rather not have comments about how Varrstoen's are replicas and this and that, I just don't have 4000$ to have work varianza's....
I have been told also that camber ajustment will be needed for these ??
HELP ME OUT PLEASE !!

So I can cut the rear spring mounts for my 1" drop in the rear but I will need to buy shorter springs for my front shocks?

Hey guys. Looking for some input from those who know wheels well.
A local seller is selling a nice set of VS-XX's. The specs are:
FRONT: 19x10 +26 A-Disk
REAR: 19x10 +23 O-Disk
**Wheels coming off a 2008 Evo X**
Is this a yay or nay for fitment? I'm pretty sure the rear won't be a problem - but what about the front? The most common size I see is 9.5 wide in the front. Will the extra 0.5 cause me any added issues?
My car is a 2007 Coupe without Brembo or any BBK in the foreseeable future. The car will be lowered ~1.25'' - 1.5'' in the front and about 1'' in the rear on Tein Flex coilovers. I have a rear camber kit w/ toe bolts that will also be installed and I assume I will most likely have to roll my fenders.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Wheels are currenlty fitted with 245/35 R19 rubber. Is this sizing appropriate or would I be better off with something else?

Hey guys,
I know this is annoying (I've been on many similar forums in the past), but I just bought my G35x yesterday and am looking to get new wheels for it. I was looking at this combo:
19 x 8 in the front (they don't make 8.5 in that wheel)
19 x 9.5 in the rear
Along with H & R Springs.....what do you think? Any issues with rubbing or 'rolling the fenders' necessary? Thanks in advance I really appreciate it.

Alright I have a couple questions.
Here is what I would like:
Semi-flush set up, don't really want poke. I would like the wheel to sit flush with the fender. I do plan on rolling the rear fender. Also, I would like to stay within factory camber specs. I am lowered on tein springs.
Here are my options as of now:
8.5/10 et 30/38
Thinking tire size at 235/40 or 24540, 275/35
8.5/9.5 et 35/40
Thinking 235/40 or 245/40 and 255 or 265/ 40 or 35
Does anyone have any examples or thoughts on how this would fit?
Thanks
