So i've decided to order a pair of staggered matte graphite Tenzo Type-M V2's.

19x8.5 front
19x10 rear

First off, I dont really know anything about wheels. Do i need a certain offset or will the vendors know that automatically? Also, i want the wheels to be somewhat flush, or the front flush and the rear out a bit more. Do I need to purchase spacers and get them put on with the wheels?

I was recommended 245-35-19 F and 275-35-19 R tire sizes, is this what i should get?

Any decent tire brands to get would be nice too. Thanks!

 

The staggered widths will already give you that extra width in the rear. As for offset - it depends on how agressive you want to go. Are you dropped? Are your fenders rolled? Since you said you want to be "somewhat" flush, I would go with a +12 offset (or something close to it).

As for the tires sizes - those sizes are exactly what I run on mine and I have 19x9.5 and 19x10.5. I enjoy having the extra meat and it is a fairly typical setup. You can't go wrong with those sizes.

I am currently running Falken FK452's and I have no complaints. They are a decently priced tire and have a good tread life. You will find many other members who run them.

 

I'm not dropped/rolled. I won't ever be slamming my car, but I want to be pretty aggressive still.

I plan on dropping later in the future once im working again, but not yet. I'll be happy with rims alone for now.

 

I'd go with a 255 up front.

The vendors should know. But aim for the lowest offset with those tenzos (which I believe is +25)

 

Falken fk452 tires. Offsets are 17 F and 22 R.

 

Bridgestone Potenzas tires. +17 F and 22 R. Dropped on 350z Htechs. Def recommend the drop its only another 200 bucks and really sets off the wheels.

 

Don't really want the extra wear on the tires. I'll wait until i can get a camber kit to drop

 

So i just decided instead of the Tenzo's im gonna try to get Avant Garde M310's.

The standard for the g35 coupe is 19x9.5 F and 19x11 R, but i was told i'd have to roll my rear fender for these to fit. Is this true? I dont really want to do that.

I think they also offer a staggered 19x8.5 F and 19x9.5 R. Should I get those sizes or a 19x9.5 all around?

 

The 245/275 combo will work fine, you could also go 255 up front. Have a better selection of tires in the 245/275 though. Vendors will have already done the research for you on wheel fitment.

 

The 19x9.5 F and 19x11 R setup will look best, but wheels that wide in the rear tend to look a little awkward without some kind of drop.
What are the offsets of the Avant Gardes?
BTW, if you do go with the 11" rears you will need to roll your fenders.
I've had a lot of friends that initially went with a less aggressive wheel setup because they didn't want to deal with fender rolling/drop,
but ended up not being happy with the end result and ended up doing it over again the right way.
If you want to go semi aggressive your going to need a good drop (atleast an inch) and roll the fenders.
I say go with the more aggressive setup (since that seems to be what you want).

Take it from someone who has gone through the same thing you're going through.
I wanted a semi aggressive setup but didn't want to initially do everything that was needed to get there.
Over the past 2 yrs I've changed my suspension setup 4 times
and went through numerous wheel spacer setups.
I finally just bit the bullet and got it done the way I should have 2 yrs ago.
I could have saved myself a lot of money, but it was a good exp for me.

 

I honestly dont think i'll ever want to roll my fenders. Because when i put the stock wheels back on and sell the car (however many years from now), i dont want any custom body work making it look at all different from stock. These rims/tires are only for summer too.


Anyway, I think im gonna go with the 19x9.5 all around. Theyre all in stock in the color I want and can get a great deal on em.

 

Def post pics when you get them installed.
I'm interested to see how they'll look.
Good choice on wheels btw, avant garde looks much better than tenzo, imo.

 

Rolling the fender only involves the lip of the fender that you cant see. If done right 99.99% of people looking at the car would never know the fender lip was rolled unless they were specifically looking for it.

 

CarBodyKits told me I dont need to roll the rear fender even with the 19x11 rear.

So now idk if i should do 19x9.5 F 19x9.5 R or 19x9.5 F 19x11 R
Since the 19x9.5 all around will run me a little cheaper and are in stock i may just get those and throw on some spacers to make them look more normal since the g35 coupes are normally staggered.


Also think im getting Kumho Ecsta SPT's on them. Supposedly have higher overall ratings than the hankook v12's

 

Refer back to Irishsig's post above #10. It's good advice, and I did the same thing he did.
