I want to get new 19" tires in the future just wondering what size should I get.. Keep what came on the tire.. 255/35 or get bigger side wall to fill in my gap a little more such as 255/40

The tires already look huge going to a 40 sidewall is going to add nearly an inch ( .5" on each side of the wheel)

If you want to get aggressive and get into the +15 area, you need to buy coilovers or it's going to look stupid as ****.

get lower, then add spacers.

Really spacers wouldn't look good on my 350z stech. Doesn't have to be hella flush right now just a little more spaced out

+15 on a 9.5 pokes even with -2.5 degrees of camber.

Yeah, I agree with 4DGS completely.

But styling aside, you can go with 15mm spacers and still use 275-30 tires judging from your pictures. It will be tight, but it looks like you have a lot of room there.


I have a question for you toymachine2009. Will your current wheel setup work on your car if you did not have rolled rear fenders???


I am just curios to know because I will be getting identical setup for my sedan, but cannot get my fenders rolled anytime soon.

Should I do 15mm up front too?? Also I don't think so the shop said when I had 245/45 18" rims they said I needed fenders rolled when camber kit was installed so I assume the same for these 19s

When I had wheels those exact specs, I had 245/35 front and 265/30 rear.. It was flush with oem z revised springs.. Stech- obviously lower, you'd want to shoot for 15mm I'd say..

That's +17 on a 9.5 with a 225/35/19 and about 2.8 degrees of camber.

I plan to get coils eventually.. But just bought these new wheels so it will be a while before coils.

I just wanted them spaced out somewhat to hold me over until then especially the front because they are soo tucked in their
