Yeah 4100 is kinda out of the picture... 4100 + shipping to canada + duties/taxes/brokerage + tires would make the price way too much aha. But if i wanted i could ask my friend to order it to avoid extra taxes... we'll see if i can find a used set in a couple days.

 

11 -4 is the same rear spec as jbf's old dpe set. he pulled almost a full inch, and ran a 245/35, you're fine with the tire. I asked shane who did john's pull, he said somewhere between 5/8 and a full inch. I already said this last night regarding the guy's question above me. might as well say it again, he ran -2.3* in the rear with the pull and a 245.

 

Ok - tire selection. Please let me know if this could be better answered in another thread. Going with an 18X8.5 +30 wheel. 4DGS suggested 245/40/18 for all around fitment. I've done some looking and narrowed down the designs to:
Hankook Ventus V4
Nitto NeoGen
Toyo Proxes 4
Yokohama S.Drive

I have used Toyos in the past. Otherwise never used any of these brands. I live in a desert so summer grip should be great. Since I see little rain, I need these to also perform well when wet because roads here can hold water more since the ground doesn't absorb it so well. I prefer a quiet tire. I have Bridgestone Turanzas on right now. The concrete freeway sections are VERY NOISY!!! with this tire. So if any of these are quieter, I'd be ecstatic. Any help or insight on the best bang for the buck? 1010tires.com has all of these ranging from $179-$219.

 

I'm running 19x10 +9 with a 225/40/19 and a 19x11 +13 245/40/19, lowered as much as possible on my BC Racing coilovers, have my fenders rolled, and very slightly pulled with what looks like a good amount of room left for more tire and some spacers for a slight poke, I didn't want to run such an extreme stretch but that's how the wheels came, I plan on throwing the 245/40/19 from the rears on the front and getting either 265 or 275 on the rear just because I rather have more tire since I drive my car a lot but with the current set up it seems alright so far, ride is smooth, will let you know soon as I get some spacers and/or bigger tires. Still trying to figure out between 10mm or 15mm spacers in the front and back before I get bigger tires. Hope I was able to help a little!

After some calculating everything, I only need 5/16" pull. So hopefully I can avoid doing a crazy pull.

 

Would this fit 04 coupe with small brakes and how would it look? Found a good deal on rim and tire set, just not sure about the fitment.

19" x8.5" +35 Front
Tires 265/30ZR19 93Y

19" x10" +40 rear
Tires 235/35Z/R19

 

The camber from left to right is off a little but that equates to literally a 1mm difference...

I'm going to blame this issue on the damage they may have been done. If the rails were realigned they may have been shifted over to one side a little to even out the twist. What year was the car repaired?

One other thing to check is that both fenders have equal gaps along the hood, you may have an OEM fender and an aftermarket fender that didn't fit the same way and was squished or pulled to fit better.

The terms running large/true/small are more so when your stretch, are you stretching these tires?

It's relates to how the tire looks when mounted, take for example Nitto Invos, a large running tire and nankangs NS-II a small running tire.

A 275/35 invo will appear larger due to a bulkier sidewall, but it is no larger than the Nankang.

about -3.5 or so.

You said 9.5 +43? with a 20mm spacer? please quote your questions. Spring is here and everybody is confused haha.

You definitely can't run those tires in the rear and even the front is cutting it close. You will need suspension mods to make those fit.

If you want those wheels go with 225/35 and 245/35, buy coilovers and lower the car about 2.5" maybe 3" and get the camber to about -3ish.

Oh, you'll also need rolled rear fenders.

Pick different wheels, those will not be anywhere close to flush without spacers. Stretching will not kill tires but it is only used when running aggressive offsets in order to clear the fenders.

Look for some wheels that are more around the specs of 20x9.5 +15 20x10.5 +12-+22

Then run 255/35 and 275/30

That is a very ****ed up set up lol

Only downside to 20s is ride comfort, they ride harsher than 18s or 19s.

As for the wheels, that's tough as I have no idea what style you're into. For $2000 you can probably pick up some high quality used wheels in our market place. (with tires too) if you want some opinions on styles show me a few cars you like and I can point you in the right direction!

Probably a lot more than you want to.... you're looking about -4 degrees of camber or more, a decent pull and a solid stretch.

I love the Yokos and Marcus (candlestickpark) can vouch for them as well. But the Toyos and Neogens aren't far behind. Off the top of my head price point would be Toyo, yoko, nitto right?

I'd go with the S. Drives. They have great reviews and I've never heard them be noisy. (however I have asphalt higways in canada)

Make a thread if you'd like some more opinions. Everything gets lost in here.

I wouldn't recommend this set up, it will not be flush at all and you'll end up using like 30mm spacers to correct it.

Look for lower offsets in those width say around +15 or so.

 

oh. I see. you're just wanting to pull enough to run with the current camber you're running (-4*)? a 5/16" pull sounds about right for that, possibly just a tad more.

 

You guys need to switch to the metric side. Talking in inch increments when the offsets are in MMs lol

 

lol, I know right? It started when I asked shane how much he pulled john's fenders and he stuck with saying it in inches, and I just shared it over here.

pepper - this is how much john pulled with the same rear specs. ~20mm +/- 4mm, if you care to see at all.

 

Something like that lol. We'll test fit as we pull.

 

Is this correct? I dont want to purchase the wrong thing. Will 20x8.5 AR337 Burn wheels (I would be getting 2 for the front), and bolt pattern 5x114.3 and 30 offset fit on my 2004 G35 Coupe? I was told to get 245/30-20 for tires, is that also correct?


The bone head who sold me my car put 18"s on the front and 20"s in the back because someone told him that 20" American Racing wheels do not fit on the front of G35 coupes. I am trying to make it balanced.

4DGS,

Sorry, I'll repost my question:

2005 G35 Sedan
20x8.5 +40 up front, 20x9.5 +43 out back. Tire sizes are 245/35/20, 255/35/20. I have two sets of spacers: 20mm and 25mm NOT installed. I haven't installed them because I'm lazy to install my camber kit. But I Finally got around to installing rear camber arms, toe bolts and A-arms out front. If I plan on running the spacers, which set should I install where, and at what camber settings? Or would I be better off simply running 20mm spacers all around, thereby giving my wheels a new offset of +20 and +23?

 

G35 Coupe w/ Brembos dropped on coils:
20X10.5 +10
20x11.5 +10
Fit well? Any problem with those widths? More importantly in the front? Will have nataural camber/fender roll in rear/stretched tires. Anything else needed?

Thanks, great thread!

 

Thanks. I'll make a thread for opinions. Least expensive to most expensive, Hankook, Nitto, Toyo, Yoko. The Yoko's are $219 a pop! Ugh.
