I have a 2008 G35S that has the akebono sport brakes installed with Swift Springs.

I really love the look of the ESR RF2 wheels.

I can get them in 19x8.5 +30, 19x9.5 +35, 19x10.5 +30.

I am a fan of the staggered look but can't decide which sizes/offsets would be best. I would prefer to have as close to stock camber settings as possible. I feel like the 19x10.5 +30's on the rear would be too aggressive and wonder if the 19x8.5 +30's would clear the sport brakes. Would it be best to just run 19x9.5 +35's square?

Any insight would be appreciated!
the 19x10.5 +30 would be aggressive on our sedan and will require more negative camber than you'd like.

I can't find much examples of the 19x8.5 +30 ESR RF2 to determine off reference if it'll clear the Akebono. You may have to contact the manufacturer or a vendor. Since caliper clearance is design specific for each wheel model.

There's examples of the 19x9.5 +22 clearing the calipers. The 9.5 +35 would be the best setup in my opinion to go with since it'll allow the most tire to me mounted and stay in oem alignment. You can run a staggered tire setup on the square wheel if you so choose. Some people do this to get the desired contact shape for specific conditions.

this sedan has 9.5 +22 and 10.5 +30 and it looks great but it'll require the camber as mentioned.

New shoes for the fat cow.

What: XXR 527d, 18x10.5 ET20.
Why: Because all 4 cost me $200. As long as we don't talk about all the other money and effort sunk into stripping them down to metal and refinishing. No, we really shouldn't talk about that.
What else: 245/45 front, 245/50 rear. On an awd car. Before you ask - yes. Yes, I am.
Why: Because one of the rear 245/45s did not survive all the stretching and the quartering. And a couple of 245/50s is what I had laying around. Oh, hi there, awd light

many, that's an inch difference in diameter front to rear.

the 245/50r18 does look very funny.

the wheels look great.

you plan to camber or pull your rear quarter panel?

I don't get the vibe here, but it sure looks like you do, and in that context you certainly did it well.

Is that a quad tip exhaust?

19x9.5 +22 Squared

I want to run -2 Camber at most, all around. Ideally aiming for -1.5. No Fender rolling up front

26" FTG all around, tein basis z

Will 255/40 clear the front at this desired camber? Or should I run 245/35 squared?

Recently put on my SPC rear camber arms that had been sitting on the shelf for over a year. Wow what a difference. Sitting at 0 camber in the rear with 285/35/19's on 10-1/2" wide Velgen's. They look so much wider standing up straight instead of slouching over with the old 1.7° camber. I will never understand Stance or stretching.

For starters, I am happy to announce that the situation has been rectified... by swapping the front 45s to the rear-matching and equally ridiculous 245/50s. No more awd light, and - shockingly - no rubbing in turns from these beach *****.
As to camber, I only have a very rudimentary understanding of how suspensions work in general, but from looking at the geometry and layout of all the metal bits that hold the wheels in place, it seems that it's not just a straight up and down movement, but more of an arc, or an angle, where as the wheel goes up, it also tips inward at the top? Or maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about. Either way, I picked up a fender roller, because this looks like it would take a massive camber adjustment to tuck these in. Just waiting on the rain to go away. Coilovers need to be adjusted, too. Hoping to get the collars un-seized without pulling the whole thing out.

Yessir. Well, not "exhaust" in a sense of having proper mufflers, it's just a pair of 2.5 in pipes coming from where the mufflers would normally attach, with quad tips welded on.
The vibe is "midlife crisis", heavily reliant on the cartoonish depictions of what a car looks like. While trying to be stealthy. Actually, nevermind that last part. Which also means that you might be mistaken, and I actually have no freakin idea what I'm going for here

How do they fit in the wheel wells? Your offsets must be somewhere in the 40s?

Any help with this?
I will be running 245/40/19 squared

I'm getting an alignment and wont get the wheels for another two months, so I'd like to have it properly cambered so not to do it twice.
In order to avoid rubbing, should I go with -1.5 camber? -1.8? -2? Or is it too hard to say without having the wheels on first?

Fitment question?

I've had my G Mostly stock for going on 8 years. Finally had the opportunity to spend my savings and get D2 air suspension. A dream come true. Wheels I ordered are niche vice 19x 9.5 +35 squared. Will I need camber? And also do I need to purchase any control arms or suspension parts to pull off the camber? Any replys are very appreciated y'all are amazing, thanks in advance.

My other set is similar to yours, 19x9.5 +35 Niche Misano. Tires are 275/35. Fit was perfect without any fender pulling, lowered to about a finger gap. The only bit of rubbing was when backing up at full turn, but very minor.
Edit: forgot to mention, no camber adjustment. Didn't see any uneven wear after 1 summer.

I'll pitch my question here:

2013 Sedan S. Need 19 or bigger to clear the akebonos, currently have Coupe Sport staggered 245 / 275 f/r. Looking for flush fit (I'm OK rolling the fender lip, but I don't want protrusion / rub issues.)

I'm looking for 19" 5-spokes that fit about the same. I love the Nismo V1 wheels, but the rears at 10.5 will require more engineering than I currently have time for. Also like Volk G50s bit having a hard time finding anything close to the right offset - or under $1k each wheel.

Suggestions? Thin 5-spokes, prefer that the spokes don't stick out past the tire sidewall.

Rear fenders

Would like to ask you some questions about what you had to do to get the rear fenders that wide. Trying to fit a 305 tire myself

Wheels: Volk GT30's
F: 20"x9.5" +30mm (+35mm - 5mm)
R: 20"x10.5" +25mm (+37mm - 12mm)


Tires: Toyo T1 Sport
F: 255/30R20 (soon to be 275's)
R: 305/25R20


Camber for all four corners between -1.5° and -1.7°


Notes: Wheel specs includes spacers. And rear fenders have been widened by almost 1-1/2" per side.
