R-disk front and O-disk rear.
offsets: single digit positives for front and rear (or negatives, if you got ***** )
your car's gotta be slammed to pull off the look.
I don't have to keep the tires! 235/35 sounds good for the front, but I am curious why you chose the 30 series for the back?

This set up looks nice, but looks like there's room to go a little more (single digits like you say sounds good!) ; however, he's not running brembos


Thanks for the comments about the photos nfsp1

+17 and +18 offsets for GT-S are usually 9.5 and 10.5 widths.


I was looking for a little poke... 245/35/19 & 265/35/19? less? more? My front wheels could use a little more spacing compared to the rear. Anyone here know of anyone with GT-S's that are spaced?

Volk Sf Challenges at +23 for fronts and +15 in rear. Any 1 got a pic of these? Most ppl go with the +28 front +23 rear with the challenges but i wanted to go a bit more aggressive so i was wondering if they'll be ok and would i need to roll the fenders? and i do plan on dropping the G

http://gruppe-s.com/Volk/volksfc.htm

thats a site for the sf challenge off sets plan on going 19x9.5 and 19x10.5

gets my approval! you'll have to run some more camber in the rear.

35 series in rear is too meaty if you're gonna do 235/35 or smaller up front.

245/30 is really thin on a 9.5, so i'd go with 275/30 (instead of 285/30) in the rear. less chance of rubbing and cheaper also with the 275's.

you gotta be slammed though cuz 30 series are really thin. there'll be a gap between fender and wheel if you're not slammed.

245/30 is fine up front
285/30 is also fine in the rear. putting 275 on a 11.5 wheel is a big stretch.
if you dont want stretch look for the rear you can run a 305 tire if you like
when running 20's wall size should be 30, on 19's wall size is 35.

Spacer size question with two scenarios:

Scenario 1
Currently I'm on OEM 19's on 06 G35 coupe sport
Stock tires: 225/40/R19 front and 245/40/R19 rear
No drop ever planned
Will Ichiba V2 spacers 20mm front and 25mm rear work without rubbing?

Scenario 2
OEM 19's with Vredestein Sessanta's
245/35/19 and 255/40/19 (no wider as per Redlude's instruction)
No drop ever planned
Will Ichiba V2 spacers 20mm front and 25mm rear work without rubbing? should I go smaller since the tires are wider?

Thanks!

There's a whole thread for wheel combo and spacer size for oems, including if rubbing will occur.

I've searched and looked through the 6 pages displayed in the wheels/tires forum and my specific scenarios were not addressed.

I also posted in the sticky which is the designated place for questions to prevent redundant threads.

Now you are refusing to help me because you believe my question is redundant and you don't even provide a link? Are your 4530 other posts just as useless?

If someone could answer other than LightsOut (now that he might give me incorrect advice to spite me) please post and address the tire width increase between both scenarios! Thanks.

I would help you with a link but posting from my phone will take to long.

To answer your question! You won't rub.
Search better and try different ways of selecting your words when searching. Search feature isn't to great.
