Wide wheels W/O spacers????

Yo!

Anyone know if you can run a 10.5 wide wheel in the rear of my 2003 g35 stock height without spacers?

10.5" isn't that wide so there shouldn't be any issues. I would have the fenders rolled though just in case of future plans.

you can go as wide as your heart desires if you don't mind looking like an idiot.

295 is over kill on a 10.5.

Run minimum 11" wide for a 295. Aim for the offset to be about +25

REALLY???

I have read so many threads that people run 295s on a 10.5

Anyways im debating towards running maybe a 285 on a 9.5

Right now I am on a 265 on the stock G35 18s.

If you want to run a 295 I would recommend rolling your fenders at least. 10.5s should fit without an issue, depending on the offset though. We have sold quite a few 19x11s for the coupes without an issue.

So you're running a 265 on an 18x8....

nevermind, run whatever tire you want. You obviously do not give a **** about how the car handles.

I'm running a 275 on my rear 10.5 rims and it has a very slight stretch if that's what most people would call it. Holy **** a 265 on a 8.5? I would imagine the car feels sluggish when turning, etc.

width is different for the different stock 18s.

on the 18x8 ones, 265 is beefy.
