i did the same thing. i read every page. and unless i missed a picture of it...

does anyone have a pic of

ES 1.1.2

19x 9.5 + 22 in hyper black for front

19 x 11 + 25 in hyper black for rear

on DG if possible.

Tires that i want to put on would be 245s up front, 275 in the rear.

I'm on 350z tien H springs, with a minor fender roll in the rear for my oem 18's with 31mm spacers. It's my DD, and i'll be upgrading to BC coils in the future, but I want to get my wheels first (or get my vortech V3 first, haven't decided). I don't track my car, but I might try it in the future. I take corners moderately hard sometimes for fun. I can do a full fender roll in the rear if necessary. I'm not bothered about that.

what do you guys think of those specs on the ES 1.1.2 lm reps for my setup / driving style?

thanks in advance!

Alternatively, i wait until after i go FI and keep my stock 18's on 225's and 245s. I'm just worried about traction issues.

thanks for the reply, actually i was wrong. I'm on S tech springs for the 350z, and i am now considering the +12 front, and +15 rear offset with 255/35 up front, and 285/35 in the rear. both 19s. do you think i'll be okay with that? I want more of a flush look. I assume I'll have to completely roll the rear fender?

i wouln't go with such a thick tire front and rear....with just being on springs you should be fine with 245/35 front and 275/35 rear and yes you will need to get a deep roll on the rear fenders

gotcha. that was the original setup i was going to go, but I'm still learning the tire/wheel setups. there's so much info. what would a 245/30 and 275/30 look like? i understand the 30/35 is the... thickness of the tire? correct? so 30 would be skinnier than a 35? i had read around that people advise against the 30, but not entirely sure why.

i have 275/30 in the rear right now and i won't be doing that again....just not enough sidewall for me and makes the ride less comfortable....if you ever want to go down in tires i would go 265/35 isntead of a 275/30 anyday just for the extra sidewall

But yes just stick with the 35 sidewall and not 30's

sounds good, and when i eventually go to BC coils, will the 35 sidewall still be okay? I want a little bit of tire tuck to look sweet, but not too much as this is my daily, and i want some clearance still lol.
