hey guys. since most of yall are experts on tire sizes and all, i was wondering if yall can gimme some info on what size tires i should get with the rims im waiting for.

here are the specs of the rims that are coming in march:
20X9.5 +35R 5-114.3 RIM LIP 55mm (2.17) inches
20X10.5 +37O 5-114.3 RIM LIP 90mm (3.54) inches

these are the tires sizes he suggested:
245-35-20+275-30-20

is there anyway i can get some more meat on the tires? or is that the optimal size for what im getting? i definitley DONT want to go with the stretched look. your opinions and info would be great.

I recommend the same thing 245/35/20, 275/30/20 to stay within the same radius. The rear might be a little stretched though on a 10.5

I think some people are running 285 in the rear but might rub.

Anyway, congrats on the buy! Cant' wait for pics.

yeah definitely post pics when you get them on. they really add to the sportiness of the 370z, which is already styled aggressively exterior wise. i just think it'll end up looking try-hard sporty on a g. but hey that impression may change when you post pics. the wheels are baller nonetheless

I have 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears.

Wrapped with Yokohama S.Drives (great tires for the price)
If you want meat, I suggest go with 255/35 and 285/30
I am dropped on Eibachs and do rub on dips and bumps occasionally.

Sick wheels though.

ha ha, small world bro.

No, didn't have to cut/grind anything. But you can trim off some of the rear bumper/fender bracket. (thats where most of the rubbing is). Just remove your rear tires and grind the bracket down.

NAS Agana closed in the 90's. The area and the buildings/homes was returned to the government of Guam. Locals live in some of the houses there. And the buildings next to the pool is a police station now. Andersen AFB, NCTAMS, and Big Navy are still there and expanding.

Looks sweet. Jealous of the offset the 370 can take.

Vossen wheels are 10.5 and most have reported no rubbing. I'm sure you'll be just fine. Wheels are looking good as well!
