Wondering if I can pull this off on my 04' sedan
20x8.5 - et +42
20x10 - et +38

if so what rear tire size can I run without worrying about rubbing issues?

Thanks

Just wondering if someone could answer my question about a 19" setup for my coupe. I'm wanting to order a set of Weds TT7R's and the widest they come in for 19's are 10. I'm planning on 19x9.5 fronts and 19x10 rears. What would be the best offset that would fit my car while offering me the biggest lip? I'm planning on rolling my fenders and am currently running a K Sport pro kit air suspension. I've checked other setups on Rimtuck.com and i've seen +2 being the lowest for the fronts and -13 or +22 for the rears. My goal is to fill the fenders as much as possible while having as big of a lip as I can. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated

I have 245/40/19 tires all around on a 19x8 wheel with +34 offset (I believe) all around. Would I rub if I dropped on coupe H&R's? Would I need a camber kit? Thanks in advance.

Are 15 inches too small?

I have a set of almost new 205/70R15 Michelin X-ice tires.

I was wondering if I put them on some 5x114.3 rims if they would fit on my G35?

I know they are within 1.4% of the original 225/45R18s that are on the G35 now.

Will the edges of rims stick out on 18x10 rims with 245/45/18?

Offset/Camber Calculation

Offset/Camber Gurus... do you have answer?

Current camber is -1.3 on all four... If I get wheels that are extend 10mm, how much camber do I need to be where I am now?

Specific specs:

current: 8.5 +15 (-1.3 camber) front and rear (sits 5mm inside fender line)

potential new: front 9.5 +17(extends 11mm), rear 10.5 +30 (extends 10mm)

I've never been able to confirm mm to camber ratio... I'm thinking 10mm = 1 degree (but I've read as low as 5mm = 1 degree)

If in fact its 10/1 will I now need -2.3 to sit where it is now? To add more question to the formula, I'd like to be about 3mm tucked from where I am now - so would that mean closer to -2.5 camber?... I'm calculating it as current -1.3 plus additional -1 for the added 10mm (and another couple tenths of a degree to bring it in a few more mm).

Hope the way I questioned it isnt too confusing

These guys seem to think it's about 5mm, though they are calculating on a ~300mm radius; on a 26" OD tire (using my 255/35-19 rear size as the example), it should be about 330mm. So 6mm per degree might be a good approximation.

Just stretch your tires Mike! We all know that you love the HellaFlush scene!!!












+1 for 6mm to 1* of camber. I put the SPC hub spacers (+2.0* static camber) and it was about the same as a 12mm spacer.
