Question Alright, somone school me on tires please!

I just purchased some Five:Axis wheels, and am lost as to which tires will fit best, and basically what my best bet is. Can someone help?

2004 G35 Coupe w/ Brembo's
-Have stock 18's
-Not lowered, planning maybe depending on how the wheel well looks after their installed...
-Five:Axis S5:F's Gunmetal
--Front: 19"x9.5j +35 offsets
--Rear: 19"x10.5j +22 offsets


I saw a post where someone photoshopped them onto a G, and the vendor told me that the size I got was what people were ordering...



Can anyone help? I don't want a super stretched tire, but at the same time I don't want balloons or anything rubbing....

Also, please tell me I got the right offsets, I should have asked before I went and bought them...but I figured a vendor coming to a G35 forum wouldn't steer me completely wrong.....

Thanks for your quick response. That first site you posted, tyrestretch, was pretty awesome. I got the size I want for the front, but for the back, there was nothing to reference...

I understand and have seen these "tire size calculators" etc...I know that's why their stickied so newbies like me don't flood the board with basic questions while there's answers readily available.

I guess my question is, I've been through those resources, but what would you guys recommend, being the experts on these cars? I'm sure many of you could look at those sizes of the rims above, and easily know which size tires would be best....I don't want to go into a tire shop looking dumber than I do here!

just do some searching I'm sure you'll find answers.

Check out this thread. There are bunch of pics and specs on wheels and rubber people are using. I'm sure you'll find what you looking for.

ShaneG,

Thanks bro. That thread you just directed me to is awesome. Sorry for the newbie question, if there was a way I could delete this useless thread here I would, or if a mod could do it please do so. Apologies! Thanks again!

-Corey
