Whats the widest rim to put on a G35 coupe to be flush with fenders? (front and back)

I'm looking into putting 19" or 20" rims on my G, and i want to put a rim that will be flush with the fenders in the front and the back.

Thanks for your input

If anyone has any pictures with the specs im looking for that would be great

The answer to your question depends on the offset, tire size and toe adjustment. Myself I'd go with 19"X10.5" rims with an offset in the mid 20s and run 285/30X19" tires.

I'd go with a 9.5 front with single digit offsets and rear 10.5/11 with -1

10.5 +mid twenties will not be flush. And with those specs, 35 series tires should be used - not 30.

I agree with this . But You'll need your fenders rolled.

I guess it depends on what your definition of "flush" is. To me, it looks like you're still tucking, especially in the front. And that's before it cambers in even more after the drop.... Not trying to diss your car or anything, just sharing my observation .

^no disrespect its all good. front arnt perfect but the rears sit pretty damn flush... i guess that pic just doesnt do it justice because i definitely had to get my fenders rolled to run 285's.

Sorry bud that's not flush, you can't be flush and be in the 20s. Just looks like that since it seems your car isn't lowered and bcuz of the 285s. Slam it and add a 20mm in rear with a 255 and call it a day
