I've not mentioned 235/30 at all. Good luck finding someone to seat those! lol

Achilles and Nankang are the go to for stretching right now.

You need a pull no matter what with this set up.

Depends on your camber and driving conditions. Do some searches for these questions as they are very easily answered.

Wheel offsets and spacers?

So I have a 2004 coupe and I recently damaged my rims in traded them to a guy who had a 05 sedan for his stock rims. The tires on the rims now are 215/55/17 it looks weird because the tires and rims are inside the wheel wells a lot more that they should be. I'm getting new tires that will be 235/50/17 will that make it look closer to normal? Or do I also need to get some wheel spacers as well

03 Coupe with flat rolled rear fenders and front pulled 1/4~1/2"...

20x9.5 -5 20x10.5 -2

I have 235/35 and 255/35 Nankangs on hand so I'm going to ask:

should I bother with these or get some of the more common stretched size of 225/35 and 245/35?

I was going to go hella cheap on these if I do: Hercules / dCenti / Lionhart / Delinte / Lexani / Nexen possibly

I've seen comments about the Nexen's, but does anybody have anything to say about any of the other brands as far as stretch/etc?

If they're still going to be the +0 the you'll want the 235/35. However you could also do a 225/40 which will close up some wheel cap and be a pretty similar stretch as the 235/35

No. you need to get coupe wheels again!

The offsets on the sedan wheels are like 7.5 +45 coupes are 8 +30

You could run spacers but it's not really a fix. You should try to find some coupe 18s or 19s.

The 235/255 stagger will be fine. Almost identical specs as what I have on the Z. You shouldn't have any issues running that size.

Nexen and Hercs are the one ones I'd trust out of there. Lexanis are straight garbage and the rest I haven't even heard of.

So 235/40 won't work? Was thinking that these would fill the gap and not have a big stretch but I'm new to tire stretching lol

Sorry for so long to reply, just learning how to get around this site. Yes, will spend for comfort and good tread wear tire. Should mention have rear spacers and new to all this. Tires on there now look stretched but Idk. Are all the tires same height because I have very little room left. Falken fk 452's on now ??

Looking at Veredesteins but not good tread rating-comfort? Pole position potenzas, Nexen 3000, General G max, CONTINENTAL CWS and a few others?
