tire sizing and spacers for 19" OEM rays
It's not really up to the OP they fit fine lol that's a fact plus the OP you're referring to isnt even the OP this thread is old lol
I actually have the same exact question (have 2003 g35 coupe, stock height / suspension, have no plans of lowering, but actually I don't want to use spacers either compared to OP). I've done some research and looks like the best size to go with, in my situation, would be 245/35/19 and 255/40/19. Any other sizes I should be looking at? Thanks in advance

I meant it's up to him whether he buys it or not.
I would stay conservative an go the 225/245 oe sizes. The spacers are moving the entire assembly further away from the car and closer to the fender. Add tire width on top of that and you may have rub issues.
Maybe I'm missing something but going with 245 and 255 width would be wider than the 225/245 stock 19 inch tire sizes, therefore it would be more flush. The stock tire sizes look pretty sunken into the wheel fender, which is why I think the 245/255 tire size would be better. If there is a better tire size combo to use for my specific situation (2003 coupe, stock suspension, and don't plan on using spacers) I'd love to hear the input that is why I asked the question.

Hey guys, I just recently started looking into spacer kits myself and ran into a couple of what ifs... So basically after doing some research, I figured that 20f/25r displacement would be perfect for my 05 G which is sitting on 225/19/40f and 245/19/40r, if you guys are having trouble deciding on what size spacers you want, this helped me out.
Ok, so now my question is, since the wheels will be out further on the hubs, wouldn't there a lot more stress placed on the hub it self, the suspension, and the camber...? I read that it's not a good idea to displace tires extremely for the fact that it puts extra wear on the car. I don't know if this is true or not and was wondering if some one could clear it up for me. I also heard that I just have to be more cautious on turns and take it slow. BUT I LOVE banking corners, so I would hate having to go slow. Lastly, if I am going to do this, do you guys recommend a specific hub spacer? I read that the centric hub spacer is the way to go, any specific company? Appreciate the feedback guys.
Short answer is that, yes, of course it places some additional stress on the hubs, but will you ever see the effects of that added stress? Much harder to answer. Certainly extreme spacers and very high offset wheels will have increase the wear rate, but you'd have to get pretty extreme with it. I've been running 15/20 f/r on my Rays for 3 years and have had no issues so far. I can't imagine 20/25 will be much worse.

It'll make your experience much better.
Thanks for the answer, I guess I will go with 20/25 with my OEMs. Do you recommend any specific kind? I know that the one piece hub centric spacers will have little to none vibrations and saw the DIY that can get rid of any vibrations.
And I still have plenty of tread on my tires and will probably going wider when I have to replace them.
