I have a G35 sedan with 17" stock wheels but I am looking to use those as winter wheels and tires. I am considering buying some 18" wheels and tires for the summer but the tires on the wheels I am looking to buy have 225/40/18 tires on it. What kind of adverse effects will this cause? I believe I hsould be running a 225/45 or 22/50 with 18s. It also seems the wheels are only 7.5" wide with an offset of +43. Any issues here?

 

04 sedan eibach prokit drop

19x8.5 +20 245/40/19
19x9.5 +25 275/35/19

Will these work? I assuming roll fenders but i don't want more than 2* of camber if possible. thanks.

 

I've got an '06 sedan on stock 17s and need new tires. I saw on a post that I now can't find, a recommendation for slightly different sized tires than the stock 215/55. Would anyone be able to tell me what that was please?

Thanks!

 

Advice Drew has provided has been good. I agree with the camber arms, you can order battle version arms for $175 and they're the best for negative camber.

In terms of fitment the look is really up to you and what you really want it to look like.

Yea you should be running 225/45 or 245/45 but those wheels are basically going to fit like stock and not be any flusher than stock. I recommend looking for a staggered set up like 8.5/9.5 or even 8/8.5.

But those wheels WILL work.

You may need a hint more camber and I'd recommend going with 245/35 and 275/30 if you want to run the +25 offset. You're cutting it pretty damn close with that. A +30-+35 would be more ideal in your case.

Personally, for what it's going to cost you for brand new 17s you should look into some OEM coupe 18s. They can usually be found from $500-$800 with good tires.

However, the widest I would go on your OEMs are 235/50. But again you're into $500-$600 for decent 17" tires. You may find some coupe 18s with OEM potenzas for the same price!

 

Believe me, I've been watching craigslist like a hawk. Someone close to me actually has the sedan 18's rolling on DWS with 70% tread for $500....but they're DIY sprayed white

 

I am getting some 19 inch 8.5 and 9.5 w/ 15 off set front 20 off set rear. I am looking at tires and spacers, I want them to be flush with my fenders, but not tucked in side ways but straight. I want my tires maybe slightly stretched but not much if at all. any ideas? thanks bro!

heres the wheels

i am guessing i am going to want to make it zero off set with 235/35/19 in front and 255/35/19 in back


i want it to look like this setup

 

Okay guys. I have ordered the new ES 1.1.3's and they will be the +15 20x10 front and 20x11 rear. I would like a fairly stretched tires where the lip of the wheels can be noticed from the rear. My idea was to go stretched like so.






But these are 19's what would you guy's recommend for 20's?

 

235/35 and 255/35.

 

i have a 2005 G35 sedan and i'm thinking about getting the following:

front: 19x8.5 +35 offset
rear: 19x9.5 +40 offset

i am lowered on tein s-tech springs.

what size tires would you recommend and also are those good offsets? i want to be pretty flush but i don't like the whole "hella flush with stretched tires" look. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

p.s. i plan on getting my fenders rolled so i don't mind having to do that.

 

Buy em an spray them gunmetal!

As drew said, 235 and 255 are your best bet. But you're going to need spacers to "see the lip from the rear" As those specs are not aggressive enough to poke.

245/35 and 275/30 would be a good option and you'll probably want a 15mm spacer up front and maybe a 5-10mm out back (that's obviously up to your taste)

"As drew said, 235 and 255 are your best bet. But you're going to need spacers to "see the lip from the rear" As those specs are not aggressive enough to poke."

That sounds about right. I have some 15 and 20mm spacers. was thinking of doing the 15 in the rear 20 up front. Also what series of tire would be best for a nice stretch. I keep hearing 30 series and 35 series. the 35 are more aggressive? correct?
What order are the series in as far as least stretch to most.

I know that the 30 35 series, meaning the height of the tire from the rim to the tread is 75% of the width. But still i get confused on which tires are most aggressive.

 

I don't know who told you that, but that's wrong.

30 is smaller 35 is larger. Don't run 30s as it stretches roughly another 20mm.

Run 35s in the widths suggested.

 

About 0 is where you want to go. Depends how low you go and how much camber you run.

Those tire sizes work though.

 

Any suggestions on what tires stretch better, for a better look?

 

I run nankang NSIIs, but there are tonnes out there.

Ask in the aggressive thread for some recommendations of what people are running
