Since the new setup your looking at is only 7mm more aggressive you should be just fine from looking at those pics

The wheel specs for the wheels I'm considering are:
20x9+32

I currently have 20mm/25mm (F/R) spacers on my Rays and like how they sit, I'm not looking for any poke or that hella-flush style.

Looks like I would need to run 10mm spacers to match my current setup. 15mm would push out 6mm more than my current setup and would probably look nice also.
I'd say you could get away with running up to a 20mm spacer out back and a 15mm up front with that new setup and still run full size tires also

The center caps are a bitch, they don't use an O ring so they're metal to metal. You gotta really wack em to get em too pop out.

And yea, you can pull the faces outta there without breaking the lip to barrel seal!

My boy is itching to get get the RS-D but I suggest he waits for some Volk CE28's. The rear wheels look more tucked than the front right now and I'm not sure what to think about running spacers. Shots in the dark
You're not going to get away with 10 +15 without at least rolling the fenders. I very mild roll will clear.

With a roll most of the R33 guys run 10.5 +15 with 275s.

However I'm having a hard time telling with this car, is it a GTST or a GTR?

Is this for a G35 coupe?


Ignore that thumbnail... I have no idea why the forum has done that.

@4dgs I'm not even mad you asked cause there are A LOT of GT-S wannabe GT-R's but no, it is in fact a GT-R. I'm thinking it may need an increase in tire size to fill in the wheel wells a little more, not exactly sure. It does sit kinda tucked right now and we don't want that.

Just picked up some OEM 19s today. I have 25mm spacers all around with my 350z Ann 18s, I'm assuming these will still work. Only lowered an inch all around. Rear wheels need new tires... I wanna run 255/40/19 for a meatier look. Any issues? Fronts are 225/40/19 brand new.

Those spacers will be just fine with Rays...either a 245/40 or 255/40 would be just fine for a meaty look on the rears, personally I'd go up to a 235 up front though

I wonder why the tire sizes on 19 oem rays are 225/40 and 245/40 when the wheel width is only a 1/2" difference from 8" to 8.5"? Wouldn't a 235/40 keep the sidewall height matching?

lol I know, in Canada we have a tonne of Skylines as our import laws are way easier. But there is literally 4-5 kids near me with GTST coupes and GTR badges.

Why the worry of rolling the fenders though?

No idea why they do that kind of thing.... With the size of the fenders an all, the sport model coupes with oem 19s really should have been 19x9 19x10 and ran a 255/275 stagger OEM.
