Aftermarket rim issues * HELP*

I currently have Tenzo-R Type M rims sitting in my garage:

19 x 8.5 (all four rims)
Offset: +45

For a 2004 G35 coupe:

What size of tires would be a good set up ?
I was thinking 245/40/19 in the front and 255/40/19 in the rear. Suggestions ??

Considering the size and the offset, do I need spacers to fit these rims on ??

I am currently running on stock suspension.

1. Wrong section
2. This isn't an issue, it's a question.
3. Did you buy these for your car before researching what to buy?

These are weaker than your stock set up, you won't get these flush on your car without HUGE spacers.

Run stock tire sizes, because cutting the sidewall down and making the tires small is going to look stupid on a non lowered car.

I recommend selling the wheels and researching a lot.

I'm reading more ... 'what i should do' rather than a solution.
I respect everyone's input but I'm looking for a solution to this problem that doesn't require selling these rims.

Everyone is telling you what you SHOULD do because we're trying to help you make your car look good, which I'm guessing you're not too concerned about if you're considering using those wheels. They're going to be very tucked on the car. Ichiba makes V2 spacers in 38mm, but even using those spacers, you'll be nowhere close to flush.

My recommendation is to sell your tenzos and buy some OEM 19s off the forum.

Itasha Coupe
19" 5 split spoke (2005+ Coupe optional)
Front: 19"x8" +30mm offset
Rear: 19"x8.5" +33mm offset


These are the specs for the OEM Rays. The rear is tucked with OEM 19's. Here is a picture.



Your Tenzos are the same width but the offset is 10mm's more, meaning you will be even more tucked then factory wheels.

If you're still serious about keeping these horrendous wheels, then I'm eager to see what they look like WITHOUT spacers.

I just hope that you'll be comfortable running spacers this size to make them look decent.
