Hey guys, new member here, just picked up a G35 coupe ~2 weeks ago.

I recently bought the staggered 19" Tenzo Type M rims recently, and I was wondering for the lug nuts, do I use the 12x1.25 or 12x1.50? The guy i bought the rims from said 12x1.50. Let me know, thanks for the help!

the guy you bought the wheels from is an idiot and should stay away from cars.

Okay so I bought a set of Varrstoen 2.2.1 18/9.5/30 and was wondering what are my options for tire size and what would you recommend?


Thanks

Quick! Can someone help me dial in what spacers I'll need to be flush?? 25mm?

2005 G35X SEDAN Setup:
19x9.5 +40 | 235/35 Front
19x9.5 +40 | 235/35 Rear
H&R Springs >> BC Racing BR Coilovers next week

Not exactly what I wanted, but wanted gold wheels for a change and couldn't pass on the deal today. If anything, I'll just measure it myself fender to rim later. Any help would be appreciated!

So i just bought a 2004 G and the tires are super worn down and I need to get new tires. My price range is about 1000 dollars and I'm trying to get rims AND tires. I also want the back tires to be as deep as possible. I won't have my car lowered for a little while but eventually it will be. My goal is to be as hellaflush as possible. Can someone help me on tire size and rim size and maybe what kind of rims. I have a white G and i think I want to get black rims! Thanks!!

1000 won't get you wheels and tires.

it barely gets you tires.

not to mention install + alignment

255/40 all around would be my suggestion. Unless you want to stagger them...

Get the coils on and go from there, the spacers will really depends how low you go. But 25s should do the trick. You've rolled the rear fenders right?

Take that $1000 and buy coilovers, save $2500 for wheels.

With a little drop <2 inches, could this fit on a sedan without camber kit (running close to stock camber?) With little stretch if any? Rolled fenders? Pulled?

Front
Size: 18x9.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 21 lbs 4 oz
Tire: Bridgestone RE050A 245/40/18
Rear
Size: 19x10.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 29 lbs 8 oz
Tire: Bridgestone RE050A 265/35/19

These are the 350z Grand Touring v2 rims
Thanks

Looking into ordering a set of works and being able to take it down to the mm, does this sound overly aggressive and/or how much work to make this fit(Roll+pull>camber)G35 Coupe

front: 20x9.5 -9 / 20x10 -2 (If my math is right, these are the same besides rim width)
rear: 20x11 -4

Also wondering what would be the pros/negatives for going 20x9.5 over 20x10 in the front? Is it just a personal preference?

close enough. it would be closer to 10 -3.

depends what you consider overly aggressive. you're looking at -4.5* camber all around with those specs. and for every 1mm you pull the fenders, you can take out .2*. ie. 10mm pull would let you run around -2.5*. you'd wanna run 225/255/35 on the 9.5/11 set up. I'd actually run a bigger stretch via the 10/11 set up with 225/245 - you'd still need a pull, but not quite as much.

9.5s up front are a bit more...responsive and aren't dictated by road patters as easily. by that I mean, 10s have more surface area, granted you went with a wider tire, and are affected by road grooves, imperfections, etc easier. if you wanted those offsets, go with the 10/11.

ps. sorry I didn't get to your pm, I worked 9-6 today.

No problem, Drew.. I work too! I'm on the fence with offsets, with the ones I chose above its 3.5" front and 5" rear, is what I want--- with your offsets on your future vs-xx, should I go a little + instead of - offsets? Not so much work? I just want those lips!! I don't want to camber a-arm the front...
