go with the 19'' setup....no matter what if you want the perfectly flush look you will need your fenders rolled though so before you even get wheels do that first

I have an 04' G35 Coupe and am looking for a set of 19" Work VS-XX. However it would be greatly appreciated if you guys can help me out with the sizings. I'm looking for a balance between function and form. Where I live in Canada has pretty bumpy roads so I don't want to be too low. But I would like a nice flush fit while being lowered on coil overs. I also have the brembo brakes so I'm okay with running small spacers up front to clear the brakes (5-10mm). From what I understand an R-disk up front and O-disk in the rear would work best if I'm planning to get large lip sizes (at the same time clearing the front brakes).
I have the nismo front /w splitter, impul sides, and chargespeed rear so the car sits lower than with stock bumpers/skirts

with about a 1.5" drop in front and 1" drop in back, how would these fit? Any suggestions?
F: 19x9.5 +15 R-Disk /w 10 mm spacer (235/35/19)
R: 19x11 +23 O-Disk (265/35/19)

Thanks for your help!
if you're on coils and you wanna be flush, you have to have at least single digit offsets or lower with a 9.5 & 10.5 setup.

if you want the "slammed" look, then go for the 18's, cuz they'll sit you car lower.

no he does not need single digit offsets to get nicely flush....with nicely sized tires it will work just as well with offsets in the teens

Thanks for confirming what I thought in the beginning, just wanted to be sure cause my first mod was wheels and I'm not happy with them.

Thanks for confirming what I thought in the beginning, yeah I do intend to do roll the guards.

They'll fit fine, might need a little fender work up front but nothing drastic really depends how the car sits with the 1.5" drop.

Are you rear fenders rolled? because you will need them rolled.

I want to have a dead flush with no wheel gap look and no wheel spacers.

These are the specs I am looking at:
- Weds Sports SA-55M 18x9+20 with 234/245-40 (Fronts) and 18x10+18 with 265/275-40 (Rears)
- Weds Sports SA-55M 19x9.5+15 with 245-35 (Fronts) and 19x10.5+15 with 275-35 (Rears)

Cheers!
The latter choice.

Yea you can get away with a mild stretch and a hint of camber.

Say 235/35 front and rear (or 225/35 if you want to stretch a little more)

And maybe -3 or natural camber should do the trick.

Alright guys I'm looking for some feedback here. A little over a month ago I posted in the Who has Varrs thread. I got quite a bit of help from two members there about wheel fitment concerning the ES112. Im bringing my questions here because I'd like show interest in other wheels. So here is where im at.

Black G coupe
OEM 17s
BC Coils
Rear SPC camber/toe kit
Nothing up front
Lowered 2" F/R
-2.3 front camber
-3.7 rear camber
No front fender work
Plans to roll the rears
Looking for Flush fitment or depending on the wheels, a little tuck
Looking at Gunmetal or Polished wheels
Super Concave or BIG lips
Budget for wheels AND tires around $2,000


Currently im eyeballin Stance SC-5
19x8.5 +15 F
19x9.5 +20 R

Thanks!
