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.
Can someone help me out here?

Not sure if this has been covered yet here and im sure it has. I have been doing research for the 7 months ive owned my 2005 G Coupe so im not just being lazy and i am still indecisive on what will work best for me. Any help is appreciated!

I am ordering some Varrstoen 2.2.2 (TE REPS) and im going with 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. The issue i have is i dont know which offset to go with. I will be lowering the G coupe 1 inch on Tein S Techs made for the G35. I have seen pics of the +22 offset and it still looks kind of sunken in the wheel well..but when looking at real te37s the +22 looks perfect. I love the look of the Varrstoen TE Reps in +12 offset all around but it looks best on on a G with a more slammed look which i will not be going with yet since the rears will poke past the fender. I think the G S techs will leave about a finger gap all around and i would have to roll the rear fenders to fit the +12 which i wouldnt mind but i cant seem to find a place that rolls fender in my area.I will be getting a rear SPC camber/toe kit and want to have my alignment as clost to OEM as possible so keep that in mind.. (Chattanooga Tennessee)

any input?

Not without stretching the rear tires and running a little negative camber (which you already have since you're on DF210s)

Yes, but then you are going to have very aggressive wheels and will need to stretch your tires and run negative camber with say -15 or -20 on a 9.5. What brand are the wheels and I can help you find out if that companies O disk will clear BBK.

They are insanely over priced and the specs would only be half decent on a sedan.

I recommend the +22 then, when you find someone to roll your fenders, buy a 5 or 10mm spacer if you want to get a little flusher. Also if you've seen the +22 on real Te37s they are exactly the same sizing so it will look like that once you've mounted them.

You should be ok running the 245/40. worst case scenario just run a hair more camber so when the wheels camber upwards, they camber right past the fenders.

Do you think it would it be possible to run 255/35 19's w/o rubbing issues? If I need to dial some more camber in the rear, how much more negative camber do you think it would take to clear this set up?

The 255/35 will work as well, it's actually a little smaller than the 245/40 which would be good.

Less than another degree, like very very little just so when your suspension compresses it clears the fender instead of going straight up into your fender.

I say go with 255/35 and don't touch your camber, I have a pretty good feeling it won't even rub as it is.

Are there any benefits of going with the 255/35 vs 245/35 other than the meatier appearance and more tire protection for the wheels? I appreciate all the help/advice btw!

The 255 will look meatier of course so it will fill up the wheel wells better if you're not real low.

If you look at OEM 19" coupe wheels those are a 245/40 in the rear so look at those and see if that's the kind of look you want before going to the 245/35 or 255.

If you don't plan to go lower than you are the 245/40 would probably be your best bet. But if you do plan to go lower the 255/35 would probably be better.

If you find photos of first gen sedans on 19" coupe wheels, the specs on those are 19x8.5 +33, so you're going to be about 11mm further out than that with the wheels you have. Every degree of camber will give you a little more clearance.

Most first gen sedans (they have very similar fitment) can run the OEM 19s without even rolling the fenders, since yours are flat from the factory you will definitely have some extra room to play with.

thank you for the help..your actually the only one out of about 10-15 people that said go with +22..everyone says +12...

i thought about going with the +22 and then getting a 5 or 10mm spacer which would help me get flush without being stuck at +12 but i figured i could find someone to roll my fenders and then buy the +12 that way i know they will fit and wouldnt have to spend money on spacers which i dont feel safe using haha

but to answer 1 more..do you think it would look dumb to get +12's which will poke a bit and be lowered on s techs since i will have a finger gap?
(FYI: ill possibly be getting coilovers within a year so that gap will be non existent then)

and i know some will say just wait and save for coils but id rather get springs now just to satisfy my wheel gap disgust for now

does anyone know if you can mount 08 350z rear wheels on the front of a 03 sedan? it is lowered on Z h-techs

the wheel is 18x8.5 +33, I think it will fit, but I would hate to buy them and not be able to use them.. I was looking at buying a full set of rears, so I can rotate them.

for tire size, to keep close to stock rolling diameter I would probably do 245/45/18?
