I just picked up some Volk GTS 19x9.5 +17 and 19x10.5 +18. What would be good tire sizes to run? The tires on these right now are pretty much done and I don't wanna run the same tire brand that I have on my stock 19s. What would also be good summer tires to run on these? I know Potenzas are pretty damn loud when they start to wear down. Any suggestions??

ok B4 anyone gets mad I haven't done this to my G yet, I was just considering. OK I'm not rich just living ok, with my mortgage and my car payments and ECT... my car funds have dropped a little. I have the 19" STOCK RAYS. my front tires become bald I know its because of alignment. Well I have picked up new tires kind cheap ones Bridgestone Potenza's they where like 221 each so ill be paying like 620 with alignment for the fronts. Any ways I live in Cali but I like going up to the snow and snowboarding is something I love doing I don't want to take my SUV having issues with suspension, I know its cheaper to fix my suv and just take it but i want to buy a set of rims and tires. IM kind of tired of low profile tires. IM not to big on performance on this car since it will cost me Bank to upgrade it to what I want.

ok so this is the deal. I want either 18" rims and regular tires or smaller rims, will this cause issues with my suspension? can I even do this? would it be smart to do this even tho I will/mite lose Performance? or am I cursed to keep buying these expensive tires that wont last long? this car is my daily driver. PS. I want to be able to rotate my tires. this would be my cold season tires and then i would save my rays for summer driving can someone please help me I'm new to this site and I love my G35 don't want to buy a Civic as a daily beater.

I just bought stance gr+ coilovers and want to be slammed but I'm worried about the rear not tucking

if u slam it, the rears will tuck easily.

As it turns out I went the OEM route and picked up a set of 19" Rays with Kumbo Ecsta 225/40 fronts and 245/40 rears last night.

Anyone care to opine on how or if the TPMS sensors on my 04 sedan will figure themselves out ? Both my old 17s and these new 19s have them installed.

Thanks

as long as you have the proper amount of tire pressure, you will be okay

What tire sizes

I just bought a new set of wheels which are enkei rp03s. They are 19x8.5 +42(f) and 19x9.5 +42(r). Yes I know. Not very aggressive. Anyways, I tried to use the tire calculator but still a bit confused. Any suggestions? Oh. I have a 05 sedan an it's lowered 1 1/2 inches around. No rolled fenders at the moment.

Please Help! I have a handful of questions
Can anybody tell which wheels these are?

https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-...questions.html
(sorry, didn't see this thread until after, plus I can't figure out how to post a pic in a reply)

fronts are 19x8.5 +22
rears are 19x10.5 +22

will these fit my 06 coupe? and flush or will i need spacers?

also can anyone recommend tire sizes to me please, I will most likely be using tein basic coilovers.

thanks in advance for any help.

rim size

Gonna purchase work t1s but not sure on size, 20x9.5/10.5 or 20x10/11?? dropped on bc coils and fenders rolled but not pulled. 2003 coupe with brembos, will the rub be insane with the 10/11?? I prefer wider stance but if the rubbing is gonna be a problem, rather go with 9.5/10.5. My drop is a little less then 1 finger gap in front
