will 19x10 fit on front?
O heavens no. I need some stretch lol I'm running 225/35 in the front with 9". I'm not worried about mutilating my wheels. I was merely pointing him out the consequences of running tire stretch if he opted to go that route (:
Well I wanted a mild stretch in the rear because I'm just experimenting. I wanted to see how 275 looked with wheels in the back. It pokes out a lot. I want to drop it more but I'd need smaller tires. So after these tires are bad ill go for the 255. I don't want to camber the wheels in just yet. Tryna maximize my drop first then decide how the stance is. That will determine if I will camber in or not then drop more. I don't know I guess I'm weird lol
I just never liked the 275 up front lol and 265 is actually a taller so the rerar could go larger if he ever wanted to. With a 275 up front you'll need to drop the rear sidewall considerably.
OP, you're looking at the wrong wheels if you want to do a 265/295 stagger. Besides, unless you're boosted you're actually going to hinder the cars performance with that large and heavy of a tire out back for no reason.
If you're set on these wheels because they're cheap and you DO want to stagger do 265/40 and 285/35 and add 15mm spacers so they'll clear the brakes either way.

Yes im boosted, well in a month if Z1 performance has sent my parts i will have about 400-450 rwhp
I currently run 285 and 245 and no probs.
I just like the wide tire look, was hoping to go wider in the rear thus 295
In the front, i will read that thread you are talking about but 265 being that wide, will it affect my turning circle at all or turning in general. which of the 255 sizes would you suggest or is 265 much better? They are alot more $ than 255/40 and only come in 265/30.
Thanks
Im still waiting on a reply from tirerack and zinik re what spacer size i need.

Definitely don't want a 265/30, it's too small. The 255 will do. But these cars need something wide in the front to keep them stable.
The reason I say pick different wheels is because 295 on a 10 is over kill. You have huge fenders on the G coupe and you could fit up to a 12" wheel without it getting stupid. I say make use of that and run a 10/11 stagger with 275s and 305s.

19x10 +35 is the only size left in that wheel so i got no choice
According to the calculator 295 is as wide as i can with with 10" wide. When you say overkill as in will affect handling in some way or bunch the tire up as its too big for 10"
255/35 or 255/40 ? (40 is $50 cheaper) With the fronts, how do i work out how much they stick out past my fenders? I looked at http://rimtuck.com/search/thumbnails...del=G35+coupe&
and like this guys fitment 10x19 +30 (if i use 5cm spacer then im also +30) ?

You are awesome for replying so much
Well tirerack have no 255/35 stock so 255/40 ok?
they also had this to say
Nathan,
I just feel that trying to run this wheel on the front of your car is a
bad idea. Putting spacers on the front of your car is an even worse
idea it will dramatically hurt your handling. A wide wheel may look
cool, but it does not improve anything for the car's performance.
I am more than willing to sell you these, but I almost guarantee you are
going to have a really hard time making these work.
The Tire Rack does not indorse or recommend using these wheels on the
front of your G35. If you have issues with fitment we will not be able
to offer assistance. These wheels being used on the front of your car
is completely against our recommendation. I do not intend to be rude, I
just want to give you a fair warning.

That's with a 255/35, see the MILD stretch? The 255/40 should get rid of that so I would run the 255/40.

Using spacers does NOT affect handling characteristics, he 100% pulled that out of his ***.
He also has never driven a G35 or else he would know how prone to overstear and using a wide wheel up front will actually help reduce that and keep it more stable.
Like I said, they read from a book not from what they have worked on.
Those wheels will fit no problem.
Can you show me the wheels you're looking at?
Oh and the 295 won't look bad on the 10" I would personally just want a wider wheel for a 295 to keep the sidewall rigidity as stiff as possible so there is no cornering squish. But 295 is 100% fine on a 10" wide wheel.
Your car looks awesome ! Perfect fitment with wheels and tires.
ok good, 255/40 it is, 295 only come in 295/30..
Thanks for clearing my mind about tireracks response, was a bit rattling.. !
Here is the wheel
After all this i hope nothing bad/wrong with it !
Now i just gotta wait for tire rack or zinik to tell me if i need spacers
Thanks again for your help !

Yea you'll have lots of room with a 19x10 +30, like look here

Tire rack reads from a book, not personal experience. If I called them and asked if I can run a 19x11.5 +16 wheel they would laugh and say NEVER. But I am.... so they're wrong.

That's actually not my car lol it's the one you posted from rimtuck.com.
This is my car
The 295/30 is a little on the small side to be honest.
What kind of deal is it on these wheels? I think for what you're going to pay for wheels and tires you could easily pick up a very high quality set of forged wheels with tires in better specs with a stagger!

Wheels were $280 each, they are now $39e.. no more left, these have been put aside for me
Tires are cheap, and comparable to Michelin PS2s (90% as good as them..)
fronts 185e, rear 241e and promo now is $80 back on purchase of 4.
Thats the only 295 size they have
They have 285/35 but i ordered a set 3 mths ago of 245/285 from tire rack i was gonna sell which are still on the way to me.. (long story) [dont ask a friend with freight container any more favors..]
That's actually my 18x11 +20 setup haha.
That is super cheap, BUT only issue I can see coming form that is when you damage a wheel (which is inevitable if you decide to track the car) you won't be finding a replacement for it.....

yeah i will have to resort to getting it fixed than replaced..
But for track i will find a good 18" set and use them, i just gotta find a cheap set
So 295/30 seems to be only size, even in PS2, super sport and other tires ..
is the 285 going to be way better because it comes in 35?
Thanks
