Lights Out,
I just bought some 19" staggered zenetti stellas in chrome. The fronts are 8.5 and rears 9.5. The tires on them now are fronts are 235/35/19 and the rears are 265/30/19. I have an 04 sedan. I plan on lowering on 350z suspension and want to avoid rolling fenders. I doubt the the rears tire will fit. What is the ideal tire size for me to run. From what I've read maybe 225/35 front and 245/35 rear. Thoughts.

Im not to familiar with v35 sedans. I know coupes and Im still learning v36 sedans.


post up your offsets as well. it will help others to help you.

and maybe I can chime in to help out. Pm if you wish I can direct you to other members who have their sedans dropped

35 series right?

you'll be fine... just keep pressure at about 40 psi.

i'm running 235/35 on 9.5 and 255/35 on 10.5 and i'm doing ok at about 2000 miles.

K i know basically nothing about tires and rims, etc.

The wheels i want to get are Axis Options, heres specs:
Size
18x8
18x9
20x9
20x10

Bolt Patterns
5x114
5x114
5x114,5x120
5x114,5x120

Basically, whats the most aggressive size from that list that I can use without getting my fenders rolled or rub? Also what size tires do i get?

Thanks in advance.

In those widths, I'd say don't bother for the coupe.

I'd stick with the 9/10 stagger.

If you're going to go 18s you're going to need to be extremely low for them to look good.
