Just installed my new TSW Nurburgring 19x9 +30mm wheels w/Michelin MXM4 245/40-VR19 tires:










Still looking into a 1" drop via coilovers, but gotta find some that are quiet.

I drive it year-round, so I wanted tires with good cold-weather grip, ride comfort, and low noise, so after a lot of research I went with the Michelin MXM4s (this is actually my second set). I don't drive it in heavy snow (I have a Ford Explorer for that), but based on previous experience I don't like driving with summer tires in really cold temperatures -- they get hard as a rock. If I lived in a warmer climate I'd have gone with Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

And you won't have to buy another set for a long time too
New wheels look very nice

x9 +30 is best for stock height

Check page 1 of this thread, MylilG and Tbulsara are running 10.5 +35s on 275s and making them fit. If you run a 255 on those wheels you should be OK, are you lowered? FWIW rear fenders are already rolled and the fronts are about 45 degree semi-rolled, so you could flat roll the fronts for more room if needed.

Check Lt8che's coupe on this post in the same thread
https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...ml#post3815735
He's running 9.5 +30 on 265s, they're 18s but will still be the same fit at the fender. If you want to be extra safe for clearance you could run 255/40/19s all around or go w/ a similar fit to Lt8che and run 265/35/19s all around.
And here is his latest setup

He's running 9.5 +35 and 275s all around.
As you can see you'll have the room, just need to select a tire that will get you the exact fit you're after.

I did look at their setups but theyre on coilovers and im on eibach prokit springs. i forgot to mention that lol also i beleive both of them have the X version. is the spacing and specs different from the rwd vehicle?

The fit at the fender will be the same regardless of AWD or RWD. Being dropped lower on coils will tuck the wheels a bit but in your case you've got much more room to work with than the two Gs I mentioned. You've got 5mm more offset and 6mm more for your narrower rim, so 11mm in from their setups. The wheel edges themselves may poke just a bit but if you run those 255 width tires they'll clear the fender lips.
If you don't want any poke then a +45 would be better.

Quick question and Help !!!!!

I have a G37XS lowred on Swift Springs. I was looking to purchase some wheels off a coworker they are
19x10 + 20 255/40/19
19x 8.5 +15 235/40/19

I know they aren't squared up but would they fit? Fender issues? Would just the rims be okay if I squared them up with 245/40/19 all around?

Thanks.
