Hey 4DGS, so a friend of mind recommended me to stretch on my setup. He told me to stretch 245s on my 20x10s +25 and stretch 225 or 235 I don't remember on the 20x8.5s. What do you think? Right now I'm running 255s on the 10s and 245s on the 8.5s. Thanks for the opinion.

For sedan.

Thanks for quoting that again!

Sure, 225/35 and 245/35 would work well for the stretch. However there really isn't anything you can stretch on an 8.5 so that's going to be a VERY mild stretch. Check out candlestickparks old set up on Nismo LMGT4s as he had 225/35 on an 8.5.

Is the car lowered? Running any camber? You obviously want to poke if you're stretching...

Yea its lowered on coils and I'm running negative 3 camber right now in the rears. What would you recommend if I do end up stretching as in spacers and camber?

Will they fit without any issues though with that size and width of the wheels and tires (20x9, 40 offset with 255/35zr20 tires)? Not really worried about the look right now. I ask because I can get them for dirt cheap and just need something to roll on as I continue to save for the wheels I really want.

I was wondering what most people go with for spacers for the OEM 19" Rays? I want to space them, but have no idea where to start or what looks good. It is slightly lowered on Tein springs, any help would be great.

hi guys,

looking for advice on wheel widths and offsets for my '07 g35 sport sedan. hoping someone can help out with suggestions for 20". a dealer had suggested 20 x 9.5 on front and 20 x 10.5 on back. they suggested +48 offset for the rear and +40 for the front offset.

i've looked at the Sticky: Data Base: Lowered with Aftermarket Rims/Tires, but did not see anyone running 20 x 9.5. any suggestions from the experts out there? i'm dropping it with eibach's kit (hoping to add the akebono brake kit sometime in the future).

please let me know if anyone knows of any issues with the sizing as well.
thanks!

So I just took my new weds over to NTB to gave them mounted (19x9.5/19x10.5 with 235/35&255/35 Hankooks) and they told me the tires were too small, would be unsafe (the rim would slide off the tire), and that they wouldnt mount them.

Can anyone clue me in on the safety (or lack thereof) in this fitment, or where i could go that would mount them? Thanks guys.

Yea, I recommend going elsewhere to get those tires mounted.
Theirs plenty of cars on here with much more aggressive setups that run even smaller tires than that on wider rims.
I'm going to run 245/35s on 20x10s in the future and 225/35 on 20x8.5s.

4DGS, I know we talked about the XXR526 in 18X9 +35 on my sedan. What about the ones in the link attached? 18X8.5 +30? Better fit with no fender roll? Like mentioned before, not wanting to poke or go aggressive. What tire size fits best for this condition?

been discussing this with blain but wanted a second opinon

I am currently running 245/35/20 in General UHPs on a 11" wide rim. They fit PERFECT

since uhps are no longer made and the gmax are on backorder i need to order different tires

If i run 255/35/20 in Hankook V12s will they fit the exact same, i need the stretch and fitment to be the same, theres no room for change
