I have an 05 coupe lowered on 350z s.tech w/o a springmount mod.

I am looking at a set of 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 wheels w/ +12 offset.

Will I need to roll the rear fenders and/or do I need to go down to 245 & 275/35 tires

Any other suggestions are welcome.

 

you should be fine if you get your rears rolled and pulled, and the 255 on the front will clear fine. i have 255/35 and 285/35 on 9.5 and 10.5 +15 wheels and had to do the rolling/pulling.

 

Did you drive the car with the wheels on b4 you got the fenders rolled and pulled

 

I drove the car for almost 2000 miles before lowering it, and the rear rubbed on anything but perfect roads. So I had the rear fenders rolled and pulled just enough to clear the tire in its full range of motion regardless of ride height. Now the car is slammed and tucking a tiny bit and no rub whatsoever.

 

Im running a 245 up front and a 285/35R19 in the rears

 

Great. Sooooooooo, what offset and are the fenders modded at all?

 

I was running 255/35s and 285/30s Definitely had to roll fronts and cut lip off rear on mine. Im now running 225/35s and 255/35s I rub hardcore on both setups, but Im dumped on BC coilovers

 

I had 245/35 and 285/35r19 before also.

My old setup...drop on coils, camber kit, +26 offset all around, about -1.8 camber in the rear with plenty of room left. With natural camber, you'll have plenty more. I think I had flushness gap of about 15mm after the fender roll. Although without the roll, I was rubbing the 285/35 in the rear, right on the edge/sidewall of the tire. So yeah, basically rolling your rear gets you about 15mm of additional clearance. With the OP's setup with the fenders rolled, i think you'll have about 8ish mm of clearance left after the roll.

Also, i don't know about others but my VDC was less sensitive to slip with this sizes also. I don't know if that's a good thing since it allowed some slip/wheel spin before actually detecting it. Nevertheless I felt the car was more peppy with the VDC on rather than off.

 

I have 255/35, 285/35 setup with stock 19s and never had an issue, but I'm not dropped but I'm also trying to figure it if it will work with G35 S-techs. Will it, or will I need to roll the fenders if I do drop on G35 S-techs?

 

You have 285's on a 19x8.5 rim... Isn't that a bit stretched? (unless that's the look you're going for)

I can't see how you'd get rubbing from a moderate lowering. The wheels are virtually the same diameter as stock and more negative camber will only further reduce the chance of rubbing on the outter fender.

Thanks for the info Deezflip
