okay so im a bit confused.. my car is at stock height too so shouldn't I go 255/35 front and 275/35 back as the 245/35 front is better for when the car is lowered?
and talking about tyres, can I get any tyres that 255/35 and 275/35 because Im not quite sure about the whole ZR and what those letters mean..

IF you have the money i'd get the real thing but if don't care that much about replicas vs authentics you can never go wrong with the varrstoens....had them for over two years and they are the more solid model that they make

Yea that set up is fine. It will be slightly larger tire in the rear but it won't make a difference and to the eye you won't be able to tell.

Ignore what was said 255/35 and 275/35 are fine sizes. Some just opt for a 245/35 because 245s use to be more common. Which isn't really the case anymore. 255s are made by pretty much every tire manufacture now.

Pretty much any tire that comes in that size is fine. The Z is the speed rating for the tire (which I believe is 189mph...) the R just means radial.

So i have posted and asked this before but Im asking again. Im considering buying a set of wheelsfor my 2004 G Sedan 19x10.5 +24 rears.....last time I was told to run a 245 tire and roughly -3 degrees camber....i recently asked on a V35 sedan facebook page and was told with a flat roll id need -4 degrees to fit a 245 rear tire on a 19x10.5 +24 wheel in the rear......I also have an option of doing a slight pull to run a little less - camber.......I just need to know what camber spec is correct..

I don't know if it would be entirely possible to even say with 100% accuracy, as there are tons of variables that will affect how wheels/tires fit. Brand/model tire? If you wanted to pull, how far of a pull? etc.

This depends on ride height completely, if you go low (like you should) you'll need probably -4 or so on flat fenders. If you're height enough for the wheels to clear then -3 and a tiny pull will probably work. When I say pull this is like.... accidentally gaining a couple mm from the roll. But it depends on a few variables as VMR said.

Basically... you NEED rear camber arms or you're going to be pulling. So roll flat, adjust camber to clear and then if you want to straighten the camber a little start pulling and adjusting camber accordingly. You might find a happy medium in a small pull and -3.5.

Remember, every degree of camber is 5mm in offset change.

Read above, but nobody can GUARANTEE the paint won't crack. If he's giving you a guarantee he's either lying or dumb. There are many variables when it comes to pulling fenders. For all you know you could have had your 1/4s replaced by some hack that filled the **** out them. Never know.

How low do the Z40 go any idea? Not looking to slam just a nice drop to remove some of the gap. almost 300 bucks in price difference

Thanks for some solid info....I have the rear camber arms already..I installed them when I did my coils. As far as the guarantee those werent his exact words.....but I have watched him do a few pulls with no cracking....he seems to be pretty confident that he can do this with mine if they crack oh well not a big problem.

Another positive is that my car was just painted so I know there isnt any filler in the quarters.

Is there a way to run wider that a 245 tire in the rear. People are saying that they run 265 or 275 on this offset and width wheel....only way I can think of is a ton of camber
