question

Here is my new wheel setup, and I am having a tough time finding tires that will best fit this.
04 g35 coupe
My car is slammed on full coils, exhaust hits on speedbumps etc.

19x8.5 +15 19x10.5 +20

I got 235/35/19's for dirt cheap like 90% tread so I would like to use them but dont have to. These will work fine correct? Little stretch probably look good with the offset?

I was trying to find 275/35/19's used, but cant find any cheap....so now im thinking of going 265/35/19's..and my question is will this work? Am I even on track with the right tire sizes? Opinions please. Thanks

Continental sport contact 2's or handcooks? Handcooks I didn't find good reviews, I'm on 19's on the back and its going to cost about 500$ installed for both back tires, is that reasonable? If not what are some good online places for tires? Please help.

I finally got my wheels back from chroming the barrels. They are Volk GT-S 19x9.5 +2 (15mm spacer) 235/35/19 & 19x10.5 +3 (15mm spacer) 255/35/19 (Toyo T1R) . Im on Tein Flex and the rears are maxed out. I need another 1/2" - 3/4" lower. Should I cut the spring mount?? Suggestions?

I was thinking about getting a set of work vs-fx (19x9.5 front/19x10.5 rear) for my 06 coupe. What disk/offset would you guys recommend? Currently I have stoptech bbk (6piston front/4piston rear) and lowered on tein s-tech springs.

Hah, ok now I understand. Lets try this again.

20x8.5 +5 (w/ 15mm spacers)
20x10 +10 (w/ 15mm spacers)

Normally, on an 8.5 wheel, you'd run a 245 size tire. For the front, 225/35 would clear. Its not a 9.5 wide wheel so you'll have some clearance from the fender.

As for the rear, a 245 / 35 stretch or a 255 / 35 stretch would be fine in order to clear.

Dial in a bit of negative camber and you should be ready to roll.

R-disk front for BBK
O-disk rear

the drop on S-techs are not that much so unless your staying with that or getting coils and lowering the car in the future

i suggest getting conservative offsets probably +12 Fr +17Rr?
