Hey i have a 05 Sedan on tokico and lowering springs...not sure exactly what the drop is.

I'm looking to get a used set with the following setup:

Front
19x8.5 +20
Hankook Ventus V12 Evo
235/35-19
Rear
19x9.5 +25
Hankook Ventus V12 Evo
265/30-19

what will i have to do (if anything at all) to make this work?

I also have a BBK.

thanks for the advice.

Alright I got a quick question with my current setup now and what im planning to do in the near future. Right now im running the stock 18s with 25mm spacers all around lowered on the G35 H-techs. Ive had Sevas sitting in my storage for a while and im planning to put them back on my car since I just bought new rear tires from a friend for them.

The Sevas s-7 specs are..

20x8.5 +25 offset front
20x10 +25 offset rear

Front tires are 255/35 while Rear tires are 275/35. Will I be able to keep the rear spacers in without having to worry about rubbing? Im pretty sure they wont fit in the front so im looking to buy some spacers for the front.

Im going for a nice flush/beefy tire look. Any help is appreciated.

If you roll the fenders in the back you will be fine.

Fitment Questions (What spacers to run?):

This is for my 2008 G35 sedan. I am currently lowered on H&R springs with a decent drop. Running -1.8 to -2.0 camber up front (w/o camber kit) and -1.2 camber in the rear (w/ camber kit). My current wheel setup is 19x8.5 (+35et) on all corners with 245/40 19 Vredesteins.

Okay now, the question is what size spacers to run to flush out my current setup without any rubbing issues. I was thinking 20mm spacers up front since I am running more negative camber and run 15mm in the rear. Can anyone advise if this would work with my current setup w/o any rubbing issues? If not, what size would you recommend?

Thanks in advance for the inputs.

Yes. 2nd gen sedans come with pre-rolled fenders from the factory.
And Yes, the front camber is more than the rear b/c I have only rear camber kit.

Tire size question for 10" wheels

So im thinking about buying some new tires for my 19x10" wheels

Im looking for more of a fat tire look

Im wondering how 245-255/40/19's in the front and 275/30/19's in the rear would look?

Since the wheels are 10"wide, are the 255's going to be wide enough so theres not a "stretched" look?

The tires im looking at have limited selection in sizes for the rear so im stuck with 275 30 19 if i go this route......

You should probably stick to 275's if you don't want any stretch although the 30 is a bit thin. 255's will give you a slight stretch.

Sorry dude, I always lose track of this thread.

IMO, I'd do 15mm spacers front and back. The .6ish amont of camber is the equal to around 2 or 3mm so I would keep the spacers the same size. If you go 20 up front do 20s in the back as well.

They are 19x10 front and back?

You can't run 255/40 (or 245/40) and a 275/30 in the rear, the front will be way to tall and look way bigger than the rear.

What you can do, is 245/35(or 255) and a 275/30.

If they are in fact 19x10 front and back and you don't want ANY stretched look. You could do 265/30 and 285/30 and it would give you a better looking tire in the back but that will also depend on your offset....

Yes they are both 19x10", Im not 100% opposed to the stretched look,

I just wanted the rears to look a little beefier and fill the gaps a little more and didn't want the fronts to be stretched and not the rears u know?

I will prolly end up going with 255 35 19 in the front and 275 35 19 rears,

im just hoping the fronts don't look noticeably more stretched than the rears on the 19X10"s

As far as the offset im going to have to experiment with spacers bc the wheels offset blows.

I have asked around and keep getting a mixed response on this, but:

I just went from the OEM 18" wheels to 20" wheels (8.5f and 10r) and I was wondering if I need to get an alignment done?? No one has really been able to give me a strait answer as to why I would or wouldn't.

Thanks for the help. Got another question here, I just picked up some new wheels. They are RAYS wheels in 19x8.5 (+22et) all around. Like I mentioned already in my previous question, this is for my 2nd gen sedan which comes with pre-rolled fenders, and currently dropped on H&R's. Do you think I'll have rubbing issues in the rear if I go 245/40 19's? I know I will have no problems up front but I am a lil worried about the rears since my rear camber is w/in factory settings at about -1.1 to -1.2. Would you recommend going with 245/35 19's or do you think I can fit 245/40 19's all around?

Thanks again in advance.

You don't need an alignment for upsizing your wheels. If you were to lower your car, or do other mods which would alter the nature of your suspension, that's when you need an alignment. I hope that helps.
