19x10+38

also just got my coilovers and rear camber kit
i have NOT installed wheel, coilovers, or camber kit yet, i want to do it all in one shot
now for question:

-which tire sizes are best for me? i would like to have a stretch tire, considering that i will lower the car
-i am going to get my rear fenders rolled, would i have to pull my fenders?
-is there anything else i should be worried about? rubbing issues?

i cant wait to get this setup on my car!

thanks!
well you can't stretch anything on the front because it is too thin.

If you want to stretch, you're going to need spacers....

Run 225/35 and 245/35.

Run 15-20mm spacers in the front (depend how low you go)
Run 15mm spacers in the back.

You will need to roll the fenders but a pull is not required.

You're going to need a 265 on the back to keep the tires under the fender.
Thanks, time to rebarrel to get offset right and width in check. I'm firmly planted to run 305s in the rear. What would be the right specs for 18" wheels?

Like to get them under the fenders without cambering?

18x11 or 19x11.5 is what you should be aiming for with the 305 tire. Minimum an 11" wide though.

Specs should be in and around +10 to +20.

Preferably no camber more than 1.5-2 , I do have over fenders but really don't want to go that route cause I wanna keep the stock sexy lines of the G. Thanks so much!

Yea you don't really need over fenders. The G has beastly fenders as is.

Only upside to running over fenders is you could potentially get into negative offset 11" wide for maximum lippage!

Very true I'm keeping them on hand for future purposes. I'm going to to rebarrel the rears to 18x11 +15. It should look solid...thanks again.

so 235/35 and 265/35 would be a mild stretch?

Yes, but there is no need to stretch if you're not adding spacers and stretched tires on tucked wheels look silly.

But 235/35 is not a stretch what so ever on an 8.5

blain ive been meaning to ask you what you think these offsets are? no spacers.

suppose to be 19x9.5+22 19x10.5+17. <this might be the true offsets.. I'm thinking the Xs have different clearance than RWD bc of this https://g35driver.com/forums/media-s...-steplips.html and gtz1stballer92 has an X +18 in the rear and tucks... < this.. https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...e-specs-4.html

Whats your camber at?

Front definitely does not look like a +22... I'd put that more around +5 - +10

Why are V12s crap compared to other tires?

So basically what im sayin is, i am looking at aftermarket 18. id like to use my stock tires as they are almost new, but im not sure what size 18's will fit my tires,and fit the coupe over the brembos.

I will be selling my stock 18's
