Quote: came to this thread looking for an idea of what size offsets and tires i should get and/or whether id need to roll fenders before getting a set myself just wanna say i read all 37 pages and its the most fun ive had this week thanks

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.

those specs will be completely fine for where your at now....all depends on how low you are gonna go once you get your coilovers

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.

when you go to bc's you should go with a 255/35 out rear and 235/35 up front if you wanna tuck tire

well I'm going coils within the next few months, so will i just have to ride a bit higher without tuck until i size down with the tires?

yes...better to do everything at the same time instead of switch again once you get your coils
