might have found a good deal for some Iforged wheels but the rears are 19x11 +35, how will this fit a coupe lowered on Eibachs, stock camber settings, hopefully a 275/30 or 35 tire? I know that offset is really high for a preferred coupe fitment but I do want to avoid spacers if possible. Rolled fenders aren't an issue to get done but as far as clearance goes for stock brakes and/or brembos.
Tried looking through the fitment and photo forums but didn't really see much.

Front – 19×9 Offset +6

What tire sizes will I need to keep the rolling radius the same and will I need any stretch with this set up? I'd prefer as little stretch as possible. Thanks.

With those widths and offsets, you can probably run a 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 setup without any issues. That will not give you a stretched look.

Just wanted to expand on this a little, it now has the 350Z brembos all round, and it's lowered on BC coilovers with the tyres just inside the arches.

The new wheels are Leon Hardiritt Ordens, the rears at 19x10 et -6 shouldn't be an issue with 245 or 255 I'm thinking, but concerned about the fronts, at 19x9 et +6, I'm not sure on the disk type yet, clearance of the brembos could be a problem, too much poke if I have to use spacers to clear them could be a problem, but I'm guessing... 225 / 235 35? Will I have to go beyond factory camber limits anyone?

245 is hardly a stretch, go 235 rear & 215 fronts. Less stretch is just gonna have you working harder to make them fit.

I don't mind working hard, I just want to keep the stretch to a bare minimum is all. It's not going to be slammed on it's ***, low for sure but I have speed bumps to contend with around here, I'll dial the height in properly once they're on, just want to keep as much rubber on the ground as possible and not shred any of it at the same time.

I am going to be daily driving a 2003 6-Speed, not looking to heavily modify the car or dump money into it as it has 180k, but it needed suspension..
I have new shocks and a set of mild Tanabe lowering springs (1" front, .6" rear - see link below).
Amazon.com: Tanabe TNF073 NF210 Lowering Spring with Lowering Height 1.0/0.6 for 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 Coupe V35: Automotive Amazon.com: Tanabe TNF073 NF210 Lowering Spring with Lowering Height 1.0/0.6 for 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 Coupe V35: Automotive


My most immediate concern is the rear camber; it is heavy and I need to correct this because it'll burn through tires.
What is an inexpensive (but not cheap quality) toe & camber arm kit? Thanks in advance!

265's up front on 18x8.5 +30 ?

I've read examples where people have had issues trying 265's up front, but they've all been using lower offsets. I'm hoping with this high of an offset I might get away with it.
My 2007 6MT coupe came with 19x8" +30, 225mm width.
So, a +30 8.5" rim up front would give 6mm less clearance inside and out, equal spacing, for rim and tire. There seems to be ample clearance inboard, so I'm most concerned about the outside.

In theory a 265 (=40mm wider than stock) would extend an extra 20mm inside and out from OEM spec. However, 265/40/18 is a bit wide for an 8.5" rim (all the manufacturer specs I've read list 9" as the minimum), so I'm guessing section/tread width wouldn't be extended to that extent. But even if it were, we're talking about adding an extra 6mm (for rim width/offset) + 20mm (extra tire width) = 26mm extra inside and out. If I'm not mistaken a 9.5" +22 rim up front (seems like a common fitment) extends 27mm outward, so if people are successful running such a setup with a squared (not stretched) tire, I should be able to do a 265 on 8.5 +30, right?

Seems like I've read many tales of people (at least on Z's) doing 9.5" +15 (extra 34mm out) and +12 (extra 37mm out) successfully. Do G coupes have vastly narrower wheel wells than Z's?

I'm currently running a 275/30/19 on a 9" wheel at +25. That extends my wheel by 1mm on the inside and 11mm on the outside compared to yours. Inner clearance is not an issue for me. My car is lowered so my tire used to rub the top of the fender when I ran a 35 profile. A 265/40/18 is taller than mine but since you didn't say you were lowered I doubt clearance will be an issue for you. Although I would still compare the measurements with your current setup and verify with a ruler to be safe.

Personally, I wouldn't run anything wider than a 255 on an 8.5" wheel but there are a few who have and say they don't have any issues.

I have a question... I am running a 245/35 19 and 275/35 19 tires on a 9.5 and 10.5 wheel. Both front and rear wheels are +22 offset however I amrunning a 10mm spacer on fron to clear brembos. Would going 255/35 and 285/35 will give me any issues?
I tried using the tire calculator and seems like the larger width tire is identical to overall size of the stock 19s. However does anyone know if the set up will clear the front fender?

If I were to run Varrstoen MK2 on my 04 G35 Coupe (standard brakes and lowered about 4 inches) at 18x10 ET25, on 225/40. Would there be a flush look or any slight poke at all? I'm trying to get a slightly poke with the dish, but I'm unsure if I need to custom order with lower offsets for either front or rear, or if I should just run spacers. Thanks in advance.

I have the ES1's on my 04. 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +22 all around and I sit nearly flush. Needed to roll the rear too. For an 18, that's a pretty thin tire imo. I'm running 35's all around. You'll be pretty close to flush with that setup. I'd just get the right size wheels if you wanna be completely flush. What's your suspension looking like?

Tire size for very slight stretch

Hey guys, 05 coupe, planning on getting varrstoren es1's.
18" 9.5/10.5 +12/+15
I already have coilovers going to drop soon after I buy some camber **** and few other things like spl bushings in the front, Going to roll fenders too so that's not a issue.
Just wondering if 235/40r18 front and 265/40r18 rear would be good for a slightly stretched or if that would be too much just wanting a SMALL bit of stretch for clearance. If it's a little much I'll def go with 245/275 I'd say?
Let me know what you guys think.

Style 95 tire size???

I just bought style 95 BMW rims. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with tire size suggestions. Wheels are 19s and 9x9 in the front and 9x10 in the back.
