^ depends on camber and fender work, talk to Chris (sn00p) as he was running 19x10.5 +30 with cut fenders so had to run -5.5 IIRC.

With a mild pull they'll fit no problem with -2 but I'd recommend going easy on the fender work and cambering a little more.

I'm a noob...

Just put on TSW Kyalamis - 235/35 19 non staggered. Not sure what the wheel width is, but it's narrower than the stock rears.

Should I be concerned with this set up, any problems having narrower wheels on the rears?

Firestone who installed them, recommend that I get larger rear tires with my stocks back on or get a wider pair of rims in the rear.

Not sure if they're just tryna bang out another buck though, because I know the guy who installed them.

How can I make the wheels look more flush with the fender?

Can a 245/45/18 fit safely on a 7.5" wheel?
Advantages / Disadvantages of doing so?

What's the lowest offset that I can run on Forgestar F14's in 19" without having to roll the fenders? I'm not dropped but may do a slight drop in the future. Do not plan on stretching the tires. Debating between either getting 19*9F/10" rear or 19*9.5F/11" rear.

Well there isn't any issues that will come of it, but the guys are somewhat right, you really should have some more tire and width in the rear of the these cars.

If you want to get them more flush I would recommend new wheels with correct offsets and widths suitable for the G35s large fenders.

Oh **** didn't even realize you said square. The front is going to be tough as I'm almost positive you'll rub the strut at a +30 and you don't have a tonne of room up front before you need to camber (which won't gain you any inner clearance)

Look at it like this, I'm going to be running a 10.5 +13 and I'm kind of nervous with the amount of camber i want....

That's not aggressive stretch....

Not really recommended for that width of wheel.... I'd go slimmer if possible.

Why don't you want to roll the fenders?

for the first set up 19x9 +10ish will be fine with the 2 fenders liner screws out and 19x10 +15 will be fine without a roll.

The second 19x9.5 +15ish will be fine with the same as above and 19x11 +28ish will work but you'll be close to the strut.

I recommend rolling the rear fenders and going with a 19x9.5 +12 and 19x11 +20

Don't want to roll the fenders because there's a ton of salt used here and there's already some rust developing in my fender liners so rolling just makes it harder to clean in the winters. I'm likely going to get the rust removed from in there at the start of summer then just POR it and run some decent wheels.

So the 19*9 +10offset should work and the 19*10 +15 should be good without a roll and you're saying that the 19*9.5 +15 and 19*11 +28 would also fit without a roll?

Call me insane but I also don't mind a little bit of a tuck with the wheels - looks a bit more natural to me than having them perfectly flush or even sticking out. Since I may be tracking the car on occasion, (and too lazy at times to swap back to my OEM 18's all the time), i'm tempted to go with the 9" and 10" setup for slightly lower rotating mass and slighty cheaper tires.

Thanks for the help!

I say sell the set and get a wider wheel/tire combo. Square setups are good too but those are just too narrow.

Within the next few months I want to swap out the OEM wheels. I tried reading the first few pages and very little applied to the sizes I'm looking to do. '06 Sedan with stock Z suspension (coils, struts, shocks all revised setup). Currently on OEM 10-spoke 18's and 20mm CZP spacers. Interested in the XXR 526 Black Chromium in 18X9. They list offsets of +35 and +25. From what I got off of the back of the OEM wheel is 42mm offset. With 20mm spacers, that puts me at 22mm offset. Correct? If not, where did my math go wrong? If correct, then I shouldn't have any issues putting the +25 option 18X9 wheels on? Meaning no fender rolling or pulling or cutting sidewalls with suspension travel? I'm not looking for "hellaflush" or staggered. I just want to line up the side real nice. I want to retain the proper tire diameter for the 18" wheels, so I need some recommendations for the proper tire to go on these without stretching sidewalls to get them on. No super low profile options please.

Pics? I'd prefer a shot looking down the side of the car if you can. Also, what suspension setup are you on? Assuming yours is a sedan as well?
