Whats the widest wheel for the front?
Whats the widest wheel for the front?
Ive seen some people run 10s up front, are you guys running widened fenders? or is it possible to run a 10 up front on a stock fender? I found a wheel 19x10 et 20 that im thinking of picking up. imjust afraid how it will sit in the fender and the clearance to the coilover?
I know those who are running 10" wheels in the front have there fenders rolled really flat or a slight pull and a decent amount of camber to make them fit and stretched tires.. but im not exactly sure on how low of offsets u can run so ill let the experts chime in..
Depends...what car? Coupe and sedan slightly differ. What size tire do you plan to run? How much camber? With -2.4 camber (natural) I fit a 20x9.5 +3 on my sedan with a little roll and pull. Tires at 225/35. I threw on 15mm spacers to have a -12 offset and dialed in negative camber (-4.7) and it fits perfectly. Same tire size. Keep in mind that tire brand will make a difference as well.
You will most definitely be fine. If it were a sedan, then you'd have to make some minor adjustments

Have you guys seen any gcoupes on 19" wheels dropped that look right? i notice all Gcoupes that look sick are all on 20"s... i have yet to see some proper 19"ers done right. Usually you get that fat tire look.
I'm sure there's a few 19's that have been done. I can't think of any at the top of my head, but 20's seem to fit the wheel gap a lil better since the 19's would require a larger tire (unless it's slammed).
you have to slam the shlt out your car for 19's to look proper and have crazy offsets!
otherwise 19' lipped wheels look too small for the coupe, case and point... take a look at the pic below, 19 up front and 20's in the rear.... look at how ridiculous they look even in the front, let alone the big bulky rear with those fat fenders we got
I had 19x10+20 up front with 255/35/19 tires on them without a single issue. I think I am going with 275/30 or 285/30 next time though, I want less stretch on my next setup. Unlike others, I enjoy my grip!
Ok, so instead of starting a new thread I figured I would sorta jack this one, but I think my question might also help out the OP and some others.
You think I could fit a 285/30/19 up there? By comparison the 255/35 is 26" OD, the 285/30 is 25.8" OD. or should I play it safe and go with a 275/30? I'll be using 305/30's in the back on a 19x11+23 wheel.
Here is my current setup in the front, 19x10+20 with a 255/35/19 tire on a very tire friendly camber setting (my guess is no more than -2):

of course you can fit a 10, even a 10.5 even an 11 in the front of a g coupe
but what is missed often is the idea that a 10 with comparable offsets will look EXACTLY the same as an 11.5, the only difference is obviously the camber and tire but in the actual wheel look with an 11.5 as opposed to a 10 you have less inner clearance..

First photo shoot with them on.
Here are some pictures courtesy of ICE from my350z, the biggest difference in these is that I have a 10mm spacer on the rears. I have since solved that problem and ordered new wheels with lower offsets:
