wow, sick.. well what i meant to say was im not a fan of stretched tires and i recently purchased these wheels wit the tires it had on em. So for now im gonna ride em out til i needa replace em.. Currently on stock 19s n just had the alignment put back to spec after puttin an spc camber to oem spec.. Wit my new setup which will be put on today off 225/35/20 front no camber n 255/35/20 rear spc camber at oem spec i dont think i'll rub, gonna have the fenders rolled.. What "I" would like to do once tires need to be repaired is run a lil wider tires... What would be a better set-up of tires to run so that i wont have tire rubbing issue? I'm slammed on teins.. Not very knowledgeable on cambers n what they should be set on I've always had alignments done at goodyear n they always bring it back to oem spec.. I know once i change to wider tires i think im gonna have to flare out the fenders but honestly idk... This is my FIRST set of wheels on my G which i bought like a month n half ago Sick wheels but SICK offset as wheel n i shouldve done my homework.. Thanks for ur input guys.

go 235/265 then i wouldn't go more than that unless you wanna run a fair amount of camber. that will give you a mild stretch.

I made a post about this in a thread and I'm doing it here. Sorry but I need the question answered quick cause I am either going to or not going to buy this specific set of wheels. I have a 2004 G coupe...I'm looking at a set of used wheels/tires off a G sedan, they are 18x8, +38 offset. Do I need spacers, rolled fenders? Will they fit? I'm on stock height.

Thanks.

i got my coupe rays on. thanks for the help, guys. these pics are from last weekend.

i paid $680CDN for the set. OEM tires are 99% tread, wheels are MINT! the previous owner drove on them for 4 days, then got a fancy 20" set. he sold his '06 6MT coupe a few weeks ago.

the tires still have the "as-new" ink lettering and rubber ***** on them.

so far no rubbing (3 weeks), and the TPMS have programmed themselves, so no problems there either.

it'll be flush if you zero the camber but your performance is gonna go to sh*t.

just add some spacers... looks like you need at least 15-mm to match the rears.

QUESTION about my 2004 G coupe

If I use wheels that are 18x8.5 all-around with a +38 offset...but I buy 20mm spacers then the offset would really be +18, right? Would that fit okay? Would it clear brembos?
