My tire sizes are 225/35/19 all around. What tire size/spacer setup should I go with on the varrstoen wheels that I want to run, Thank you in advanced.

No spacers. Run 255/35 for no stretch.

The rears will sit roughly 6mm further out than your current wheels.
The fronts will sit roughly 10mm further out than your current wheels.

So just make sure you have room to fit the tires you want given the height and everything.

with those specs you won't have to roll your fenders but they are somewhat weak so i would add spacers at...maybe a 10mm in the front and a 15mm in the rear....with those specs run a 245/30 or 35 tire up front and a 275/35 in the rear

9.5/10.5 wide wheels with high teen offsets is usually good for a mild flush look....since yours are only 9.0 wide in the fronts you would have to compensate more w/ spacers because of that

@4DGS thank you sir for getting back to me, I really appreciate it. I want it to have about the same look that my 225/35's look on the 8.5

SC5s and Vossen CV3s are easily one of the most common wheels on the market right now...

In the forums they are... I don't see them in person much. I agree I would like to see less of them on 2nd gen g35's and 37's

They're huge in Canada, I went to one meet this summer that actually had 5 cars within 30ft of each other that had SC5s or one of the other variations of them lol If you like em go for it but I'd look linto other options. Personally....

Between these three tire in 275/35-19. Which would you all recommend/prefer?

275/35-19 GENERAL G-MAX AS-03
275/35-19 KUMHO ECSTA SPT KU31
275/35-19 FALKEN FK-452

Looking for a quite, comfortable tire that lasts.Quality over price IMO. I was gooing to go smaller(stretch) but, Im still tossing some ideas around. Thanks!

You're asking for the attributes of high end tires and you have entry level tires as your options.

Kumhos would probably be your best bet, but for quiet, comfortable tires that last. You'll need to spend some more money.

Yeah I agree about these being entry level tires. I've seen the HIGH end selection and it looks like I'll compromise on one or more attributes I listed. A quite tire is what I prefer. On a seperate note, shopping for tires, spacers and wheels has somewhat discouraged me from Vossen and Stance. Too many mixed reviews and weak offsets. I LIKE them but, DAMN this is annoying looking for wheels and tires

Well I'm not going to talk you into vossen as I hate them....

Go kumho they're comfy, relatively quiet and last decently.

The generals, some people bitch about noise. But they wear well...

Falkens, wear poorly after the first 5k, get noisy after the first 5k and are just generally poor tires IMO.

Well that's good to hear about the Kumho tires seeing as they're the cheaper ones. I appreciate your help thus far as well as Andrews'. You guys know your stuff. Andrew HEAVILY suggested getting wheels without spacers and well...he's right. I might fall back to Varrs like I originally planned when I got my G. I don't know. Im the kind of person that wont jump the gun until I know as much as possible about WHATEVER it is im doing.
