( I WILL BE GETTING BC COILS AND A CAMBER KIT) the sizes they gave me for best fitment were

F- 20'' x 9.0 + 32
R- 20'' x 10.5 + 45

As far as the tires go

F- 245/35/20
R- 275/30/20

So my question for the wheel and tire GURU'S are...

1. Does this sound right?
2. What type of stance will I have ? i.e will it make the 4x4 look or slammed etc.
3. Does the tire fitment sound right? I ask because when I plugged the tires into a calculator there was at least a 6mm difference in height .But when I changed the width of the rear tire to a 285 the height for both wheels were the same so why would they tell me to put a 275 on instead ?
Those sound right for a decent almost flush stance. My wife is on some cheapo Stern st-1 20's 8.5 +38 and 9.5+35. Fronts are sunk some, but rears are flush with 275/30 and a fender roll.

I think if you want a decent drop and drivability, then 20's and the sizes you specified would be good for you.

I just saw 08 sedan.. I'm not sure how similar fender clearance to 03-- but the offsets stated seem pretty tame. I think you'll be fine

I currently have a white 2004 G35 Coupe and will soon be purchasing a new set of 19 inch rims. I am leaning towards a rim called Jarama by TSW. Its black with a chrome lip. I would like some help selecting tire sizes as well as some other specs.

What tire size should I get for my fronts? I'm lowered on Z S-Techs. And don't want to rub.

fronts: 20x9, +13 offset
rears: 20x11, +13 offset

This is my daily driver will be doing 275/30/20 Rears (was thinking about doing 255/35/20 but was worried cause it is my daily so wanted more rubber)

I'm looking for help with spacers. I'm about to get some new tires thrown on, while I'm at it I'm going to have my coil overs adjusted and get the car realigned. After thinking about it I decided maybe I should try some spacers in the rear but I've never known anything about them until what I've read recently.
I ordered some Ichiba 10mm V1 for my rear wheels. Now that I keep reading more about spacers I'm feeling a little hesitant and I'm not 100% sure I'm going to install them. Some people say that the Ichiba extended studs are an inferior product (is this true?) and I don't want to chance it with something like spacers.

So I'm considering these ARP extended studs http://www.injectedperformance.com/a...for350zg35.htm
And also I read the nismo studs are comparable to these.. but I think they are more expensive?

I have closed ended McGard lugs with locks. Will these lugs work with the extended studs? I know you want 6-8 full turns, I'm not sure how the length (3inch stud+10mm spacer) compares to the stock studs. I don't track my car, are these studs a good idea?

Here are some old pics of my car but this is how it sits now

Trying to find tire for Varrstoen ES222 19"

Hi Everyone:

I'm in looking to the above rims but I am not sure of the wall size of the tire (I guess that's what it is called). I know they are staggered 19x9.5 in the front and 19x10.5 in the back. I can't find a tire package online that will go with this set. I was trying to do my own math and I think a 245/35/19 in the front and a 275/35/19 in the back will do. Will that work? Should I go thicker in the back?

I currently have Lexani LSS-10 20x8.5 in front and 20x10 in the back. I know these tires will not fit but one of my other concerns is being able to turn my wheel. 8.5 inches in the front looked tight and everywhere I look it says they fit. Are the Varrstoens a direct fit? I appreciate the feedback. Thx

since my350 is gay as hell, borrowing my friends account to get some help specing out some wheels
I DO NOT WANT A HELLA FLUSH SETUP, I WANT A WIDE A$$ TRACK SETUP THAT LOOKS GOOD OFF TRACK

Car: Nismo 350Z, factory brembo BBK, rolled and pulled fenders (15mm of pull), coilovers
Goal: Work VSXX 18" up front and a 19" in the rear, meatyest tire I can get without rubbing issues

something in the lines of:
18x10.5 et??? Rdisk 265/40 or 275/35
19x11.5 et??? O disk 305/30 or 325/30
Looking at the Work VSXX specs sheet I have offset options listed below
19x11.5 O disk (+42 to +17)
18x10.5 R disk (+40 to -48)


maybe +25????
