Tires Size for rear

Hello just pick up a 03 g35 sedan tried searching for a answer but couldnt find any.

So I put on my nismo lmgt4's 18x8.5 +25 Front with 245/40/18 which for fine but the rears have 18x9.5 +30 275/40/18, I had these on my coupé so of course it didn't fit the sedan rubbed every second. Would 255/40/18 be ok in the rear? I am dropped maybe 1-1.5 inch and stock camber from being lower

If it were me I'd keep the tires and just roll the fenders to make it work, but I'm a fan of the wide tire look and not that stance/stretch nonsense

Ok thanks, yeah I like the wide rear tire look in the back also but look a little funky with a sedan

Fairly new to this forum itself. Had my 05 G sedan for about a year now. Looking to throw some coilovers on it, smaller wheels, and create a small amount of negative camber.
At the moment my Lower control arm bushing is pretty much completely gone, needs to be replaced due to the fact that the previous owner left me with immense 21" Giovanna wheels.


To get to the point of things;
I'm attempting to obtain a list of all necessary parts needed to drop the G about 3 inches in the front and about 2.5 in the rear


Do I buy new control arms and a camber kit along with my coilovers?
Just looking to not take apart the car and find out that I need to purchase another part before I can properly put it together.


Any info helps and is greatly appreciated

Stance coils
SPC/SPL camber arms front and rear
SPC toe bolts/arms...up to you
Poly bushings all around, front at least (Whiteline or Energy Suspension)
I'd suggest 19in wheels but 20s don't look bad on the sedans but depending on size you may have to roll your fenders as well to achieve the certain look you want.

Just gonna rip the band-aid off real quick for you here so it doesn't hurt too much, but I'd go with some 18" or 19" wheels before you do anything, then see where you're at and continue from there. Your sedan looks good and I think 3" seems appropriate "now" because the wheels are so big. Once you get the right wheel on there I think 2" will be adequate.

As venom said, go with poly bushings (at least in the lower control arm and compression rod applications. You'll also need adjustable camber arms in the back (SPC or Eibach), upper control arms in the front (SPC, SPL or Kinetix) and eccentric toe bolts (SPC). Don't do any of it before you get the wheels you want tho so you can really see how much of a drop you need.

Help

18x8.5+25 w/225/40/18 Front
18x9.5 w/245/40/18 Rear
Or
18x8.5 +25 w/245/40/18 Front
18x9.5 +30 w/255/40/18 Rear

I am lowered about 1.5 in. But plan on going coilovers soon so which tires is best? Going to lower about 2.5-3in

Probably better off with the first choice but double check on 255 if it's within the 3% variance

245/40 and 275/35
Offsets would need to be mid to low 20s and into the teens, probably a fender roll just to be safe.
