I've been looking at the Velgen VMB5 for my '12 G37x Sedan. I'm planning to go with 19's, and Velgen has confirmed two width options and offsets: 19 x 9 ET 35 and 19 x 10.5 ET 45.
Currently I'm at stock height, but am planning to do a drop on Swift springs. I'm guessing my best choice to keep a square setup and avoid any issues all around would be the 19 x 9 option, what are your thoughts?
What tire size would you recommend for that size/width? From what I've seen here on the forms, a 245/40/19 would be the recommendation as the overall diameter change -0.1%. Would that me too much of a stretch considering the 9" width?
If I were to go with a 255/40/19 the overall diameter would increase to +1.1%, would this be acceptable?
Thanks!

Yea that is a bit of a stretch. I have 255s on 9.5 and I wish I had gone 8.5s all around for a more square look. 245 or 255 on 8.5 sounds good; just figure out what you're gonna do about the offset.

Agree w/ future, a 255/40 on those 19s would be a nice fit and a 9"+35 offset is ideal as well. With a square setup you can run sizes that are over/under 3% without issues, but always best to keep that number as low as possible, that 1.1% won't be a problem.
It's when you run staggered, the front to back diameter needs to be less than 1% off.

So its winter time so I am back to a squared setup. I changed it up from 18s to 19s this year.
I picked up a set of 4 rear G35 19" Rays which clear the BBK, they were in pretty rough shape and needed a refinish. I refinished myself following the DIY here. Took about a week as I let the metal reinforced bondo dry overnight before sanding and then the paint dry overnight before spraying on the clear coat. If you dont need to bondo, its a day job for a DIY refinish. I probably wetsanded more than needed, but the wheel finish is smooth and dirt glides right off.
The tire are Sottozero3, 245/40R19 size so they match the stock size for the G37S coupe.
Picked up a set of TPMS sensors off eBay for $40 buck and I went with acorn spline drive lug nuts to reduce the risk that the rims get scratched when installing the lug nuts.
If anyone is looking for a winter setup or a squared setup, these wheels fit very nicely.

RIDICULOUS deal I got on these:
Rohana RC10 20x9 ET35
I had planned on 19" but couldn't pass up the deal I got. I'm awaiting the arrival on my Tein Street Basis Z Coilovers. Once those are on I'll either go with 255/35s or 245/35s. I want as much meat as possible

225-50R18 vs 255-40R19 vs 265-35R19 vs 245-40R19 - Tire and Wheel Plus Sizing | Tire Size Calculator
Check out Gregor12's white sedan on this page for an example of 255/40-19 tires on 19x9.5 wheels. Bassy's red coupe further down the page also has the same wheel and tire sizes, but a really aggressive offset.
