Here's mine...

19x9.5 -8
19x10.5 -8

I'm pretty slammed on coils, tucking tire on all four corners. I need an estimate on how much negative camber ya'll think I'll need to run front and rear as well as what a good tire size i should go with to try to minimize rubbing.

I am looking at getting some new rims for my 05 sedan. I do not want staggered, lip or aggressive (rims past fenders), but flush is good. I am wondering if I can fit a 9.5 rim in the front with my above requirements? If so, what offset? Also, if they will fit, what tire size recommendations. I realize I will most likely have to roll the fenders and am willing to have that done.

Sorry if this is a noob question, but i am getting ready to put some major mods on my G and want to make sure everything works out

I have an '08 G35 AWD sedan and is about to be lowered on BC coilovers and i know that if my wheels are all close in diameter i am fine, but what about the wheel width. i see alot of people running fatter wheels in the back like a 19x8.5 in the front and a 19x9.5 in the back. does that matter at if i drive an AWD?? also does that mean i cant rotate the tires???

i am thinking about getting some volks or works should i just do the same width all around with the same offsets or should i go wider in the back?

My setup now (5zigen SC3000) w/ Tanabe DF210, rolled fenders
Front Specs: 19x8.5 +5 offset 245/35/19
Rear Specs: 19x9.5 +5 offset 275/30/19
Wanting
Front Specs: 19x8.5 +5 offset 215/35/19
Rear Specs: 19x9.5 +5 offset 245/35/19
that'll definitely work.

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
it doesn't matter on the widths... offsets are what matter.

if you're worried about rubbing, you'll actually probably better off with the larger widths since it'll stretch the tire out more... get it?

Im running right now:

20x9 in the front with 245/35/20

20x11 in the rear with 275/30/20

Here is what they look like (have some other pics on request)

Rear


Front


As you can tell, the rear is pretty stretch and i have a huge tire/fender gap. The front is rather tuck behind the fender and there is no lip.

Right now, im inbetween running either A. a more stretch tire in the front and B. running a thicker tire in the rear. I liek the whole flush look, but honestly, many miami streets and locations are not friendly to this type of ride (especially my gfs complex).

Either way, i plan on lowering the car a lil bit more (about half a turn or so on coils). Its riding safely high right now.

I wanted advice to see what i should, as in which would be to my benefit for both cases. I talked to the designers of the wheels, and (his personal preference) would be to buy a bigger tire for the rear (295 or 305) and even out the camber and it will stay pretty flush, but i want to be sure i make the right choice from the begining.

^ 295/30 and 305/30 are pretty damn expensive compared to 225/30 and 235/30.

up to u though... u said u like it stretched anyway.

Question about this setup
I plan on getting Works VSXX 19x9.5 +2 Rdisk 19x10.5 +7 Adisk, 255F/285R will be lower on stance GR+ PRO 1.5-2 inch. I want to know how much negative camber do I need in order to avoid rubbing at all and how much fender work will I need. Any other advice on this setup would be appreciated. I plan on ordering my wheels in a couple of days so I want to get it right the first time. Thanks

I currently have a 2005 G35 coupe and online a guy wants to sell me some 2003 sedan G35 rims. for $300.00. I already know ill lose performance, right now im ok with that, but will I mess anything up? suspension? ect. his rims are 17" i currently have 19" rays. Please let me know. Im a little new to this site. in summer time i will go back to my 19"

Just have a quick question about a setup...

Tein SuperSports / S-Techs, SPC Camber Arms are what I have planned...

How would 19x8.5 up front and 19x10.5 out back stand? Would I need a fender roll? Rubbing issues? Which spacers would make it flush? The rims I'm looking at are Work Schwert SC1's... If it looks like I'm missing something from the setup let me know. Any help is appreciated seeing as how I'm pretty newbish.

Thanks
