Right now my fenders are rolled, i know the rears would have to be pulled for sure. What tire sizes should i run??? Not looking for a bunch of camber so pretty stretched!

You're going to have uneven stretch with these for sure due to the large stagger....

225/35 and 245/35 is your best bet for clearance, but you're going to need a hefty pull and about -6 degrees of camber.

This set up is not really cutout for those trying to avoid camber. I'd go thinner by the sounds of your goal.

What is your initial question? Last page got ****ed up with jibber jabber.

And everyone ran 11.5s on their sedans before I came around right?

You're going for tsurachi fitment and it's your first go at it, don't expect someone to select your specs for you because you've gotten into something that you're not really on the level of yet. It's like figuring out how to drive then diving into an F1 car and hoping you can figure out how to get it out of first gear.

For those of us that have done the fitment game, we have screwed around with our wheels, tires, suspension and fenders for hours on end to learn what we have and to see what works and what doesn't.

Doesn't help you just laid down a bunch of numbers and a single photo of the side of the car for reference.

Keep the DPEs for now and switch up the tires to a stretched set up and make those work, get those sitting how you want with spacers than go spend 5 grand on a set of new wheels in the specs you require.

So, would you all recommend a 225/35 on the front or could I get away with a 235/35? I only have the fronts rolled not pulled. Also, could I get away with a 275/30 on the rear? I have a mild pull on the rears from the HRE's I had. If not I plan on pulling the trigger on some 265/30's.

My main goal is to eliminate unnecessary stretch.

Thanks!
Could go 275/30 but I'd go 265/30 personally, keeps it closer to the diameter up front.

235/35 will fit fine, I'm running that on my Z with a +2 and I haven't even removed the fender hardware.

Any help much appreciated

My back up is Vossen Cv4

20x9 + 20 FRONT 225/35/20
20X10.5 + 25 REAR 255/35/20
First set up is fine but you're going to want a spacer in the back so the front isn't as aggressive as the rear.

Go 10 +15 front and rear, run 235/35s and natural camber should go the rest of the way. For the rear, just pull the fender or add camber until the wheel tucks. The front shouldn't be an issue at all. I ran 10 +12 with my CCWs on stock fenders.

Thanks, so as long as I roll the fenders, I won't have a problem with the bulging sidewall on a 1" drop?

Shouldn't, tonnes of guys have run coupe 18s and even larger tires than the 245/45.

So I just bought new rims that are 19x10 Front 19x11 Rear with tires.
The tires are 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. Do you guys think this is a bad setup? I am currently on tein s-tech and for some reason the rear has a big wheel gap.

They are +15 all around. Which coils do you recommend, I am kinda in a low budget

Do you think I could do the springmount mod?

Thanks

Called a very popular wheel shop and asked them for a quote on rolling the rears flat. The guy said that it's hard to do on a G sedan and it has to be cut? Is this right? For my purposes, would I need them rolled flat?

tires/lug size

hey guys. I ordered a pair of Drag DR – 37 wheels yesterday. I'm looking to get a set of tires that will fit them without me having to fuss with the speedometer, so I basically need them to be the same overall size as the stock wheels plus tires. I don't need the highest performing tires, but also I don't want some big ol' fat winter tires.
THEY ARE 19x8.5!!!

Also, I heard that the Lug nuts are different from car to car. I'm not talking about the bolt pattern, I'm talking about the actual lug nuts. Does anyone here know the size/thread of the Lug nuts?

Thanks in advance!

You could but it will only really net you about a half inch lower in the rear.

You really should have gone 275/35 and 255/35 if you didn't plan on going low.

I must be amazing then.... I've rolled countless sedans and they are hands down one of the easiest fenders to roll next to Honda's

Tell that shop if they want to cut your fenders you're going to cut their throat lol

I can't stress this enough, NEVER CUT FENDERS. You will always regret it as it will reduce the integrity of the fender. Talk to someone else and get someone that knows what they are doing to roll your fenders.

However I can't recall your wheel set up so I can't tell you weather or not you need them rolled flat.

I can't suggest tires because you have forgot to include what size wheel you have ordered! What size wheel did you order? lol

Our Lug nuts are 12x1.25. Pretty common thread for nissan as we share that thread pitch with Subaru. Lots of options for lugnuts, but you'll want a "Tuner" style lug. And yes that is the term, I didn't just make it up!

Thanks lol, I was kind of skeptical at what the shop said. But my setup (soon to be) would be revised Z suspension with 245/45's on coupe 18s on the rears

Ok, I was pretty sure that was you. You should be fine with just a mild, however I usually roll flat just so dirt and crap doesn't get stuck in the fender lip. Preference there though I suppose!

Probably explode from the amount of new threads that get posted asking which varrstoen offsets they should pick!
