Tire size/fitment question

I just wanted to make sure I won't have any issues after I purchase tires.
Any help I can get would be appreciated.

I have an 06 G35 sedan 6speed.
Right now it's lowered on Z front springs/G coupe rear spring/shocks.

I will be running
19x8.5 +38 offset FRONT
19x9.5 +42 offset REAR

What I am planing to do is run a 10MM spacer up front and run 245/35/19 tires.

Rear i'm planning to run 275/35/19 tires.

Question is will I run out back with that relatively conservative offset and thicker tire?

I do not have ANY ROLLED fenders at all.

NOt sure if it will help, but I ran the G Coupe 19's with no issues, no spacers, no roll. 225/40/19 Front tires, 255/35/19 Rear tires.

Thanks!

you are going to be pretty close in the back without rolled fenders. You most likely will rub on turns and with passengers on the back. Why not just roll it?

I could, but I would just like to see if I can get away without doing anything at all. Do you think 265/35/19 would help much in the rear?

Thanks for your input

Similar question, dont think I should make a whole new post for it but

on

18" 5 split spoke (05+ Sedan optional)
Front & Rear: 18"x7.5" (+45mm)


I am going to go from 235/45/R18 to 245/45R18
which is 1.359% too slow

Looking at the general exclaim tires. The tire will fit the rim, I am dropped on 350z springs everything should be ok?

Do I need to get a realignment with the wider tires? Just had one done like two weeks ago.

^Will be fine.

No alignment needed.

May I guess at least a 20mm spacer

You should check tire prices...sometimes funky sizes are either unavailable or really expensive. A fender roll gives you a peace of midn with 50-60 bucks. I'd rather just get it rolled than compromising with tire sizes.

245 ona 8.5 is slight tiny stretch look, walls curbe in a bit. so 245/35/ should be fine...

Im runnin 275 on 9.5 rear with 35 offset, fenders rolled flat. 275s on 9.5 have tiny bubble effect. looks meaty profile... Since thats what u wanted to go for...

Enjoy the turns with 275s

I have the front strut bar...I don't feel any difference besides it looking nice in the engine bay.

I'll hope to pick up some sways soon.

I'll be honest. I love cornering fast. When u put it on u feel like it doesnt do much... Best way to feel the difference, drive someone elses car without it, or remove yours... After removing it You feel the difference.

mine is 06x, I drove my friends 05x just to see the feel of it. I was scared, car literally feels like it's at the edge. After getting used to the way mine drives. and thats only on eibachprokit. I cant picture it on coils =X

How's it going? I'm about to get new tires and will probably go with the 225/40 up front instead of the 245/35. Z/G suspension. This should not rub right?, given that its narrower by 20 mm and only taller by 4 mm or so.

I'm hoping the narrower tire will give less road noise/trammeling that I get with my 245s.

thx
