All the AWD guys are just complainers not willing to work with ****.

Ypu'll be fine, but confirm those tire sizes. You need 225/45 and 245/40. If you use what you mentioned you'll be off by a fair bit.

Yea contis run pretty large. They have beastly sidewalls.

 

trying to find someone with pics of the g35 coupe with rpf1 on them like 18x 10.5 all around ive seen only one its black but id like to see others to make a choice

 

Not really the thread for this, but RPF1s don't really change with sizing so just look them up in different colours and you'll know what they look like.

 

So I got new wheels and was dumb and made a semi-blind purchase. they were on a maxima before I got them and the rims themselves fit on my car but it looks like the tire is going to rub against the "arm" part that goes up from the wheel hub and over the wheel. here are the wheel's specs

size - 20"
width - 9.5
offset - 41.275
backspace - 6.375

How much backspace can I have in the front and rear with tires on, and without a spacer? I don't want to buy the tires yet unless I know how flat they are going to have to be. I was thinking 235/35/20 in the front and 255/35/20 in the rear but idk. any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Hello guys!
I want to get wheels for my stock G35.
I was looking at these here and wanted to know if they would work without rolling or pulling my fenders, also which tires sizes do you recommend for these wheels on a stock G. Thanks in advance.
Front: 19x9.5 +12 5x114.3
Rear: 19x11 +25 5x114.3 OR maybe same as fronts?

 

Ok, noob-ish tire size question. I have an 06 G35 Sedan on coils thats currently on 19x9.5 38et 245/35 Nitto Invo front (also ran a 245/40 Invo with no issues) and 19x10 40et 275/35 Nitto Invo rear. Both front and rear natural camber. Front fenders are rolled and pinched flat and the marker light mounts have been modded for clearance, and rears are rolled flat. I just ordered new wheels, 19x9.5 22et and 19x10.5 30et. From what Ive looked at so far, Im thinking a 235/35 in the front and a 265/30 in the rear, as long as I run a Hankook or Yoko or Falken. Does that sound correct? Or would I be better off with a 255/35 on the rear? My current seems to have a ton of room.

This for a coupe or sedan?

You should actually be fine for back spacing as these cars can handle 10" +40ish which sits almost and inch further in.

However, if it's a coupe you're going to want spacers so they don't sit sunken like OEM.

Tire choice is fine.

Why don't you want to roll the fenders? With that set up you're going to need a roll but at stock height the car is going to look kind of stupid with those specs.

You can fit 9.5 front and rear without fender work (other than a little poking around up front)

255 and 265 are going to run pretty similar in terms of stretch. However you need to watch out for inner strut clearance running that high of an offset with natural camber. You may need to space them out in the rear to get them off the strut.

Tire sizes sound good though.

BTW, don't buy falkens for stretching, they're terrible and you'll hate yourself later on.

 

Nice, Thanks! I'll prolly go with the 255's since they are a closer to oem size/speedo match... I havent had any issues as of yet with strut clearance on my 19x10 40et's, what would make the 19x10.5 22et's worse? And what brand would u recommend as far a longevity and noise? Nankang, Hankook, Nitto?

 

You said 10.5 +30

They're going to poke 16mm more are you able to fit that without camber adjustment?

 

No idea. I'm new to this, I know I have over a finger gap in the rear now. Whats ur opinion on the offset and tires? Do you think it possible?

 

Thanks for the input on rolling the fenders, but i am finding this information out for a friend of mine and he does not want to roll the fenders. I will roll the fenders on my coupe when i get the chance so I can run spacers on my OEM rays.
What about a 19x9.5 +22 5x114.3 up front and the 19x9.5 +12 5x114.3 in the rear would that look better than stock rays(as far a flushness)?
Also which tire sizes would i need? would the same stock size work?

 

Tell him to not be a lady and roll the fenders, when it's done properly there is no risk!

Yea you could do 9.5 +22 up front and +12 in the rear.

If he has stock sizes he can use them but running 255/35 is probably a better bet.

 

thanks! n I'll get spacers as well!

I love falkens! I've been using them for the past few years w/ my Z&G... are they really that bad for stretching?!

 

sidewalls bubble and terrible tread life on cambered set ups.

 

sooo I should be fine since I'm not lowered right?
