Yup, as Brad already mentioned, 20x10.5" +28 is pretty aggressive and is going to make it very tough to fit wide rubber on the rear. You are most likely going to have to run a pretty stretched tire set up and some heavy negative camber to clear in the rear without any fender modifications. Don't think you'll be able to make 285's or 275's to work... even 265's will probably require around -2.5° to -3° camber in the rear. I started with 265's on the rear of mine with 20x10.5" +37 wheels and that set up still required around -1.9° or -2° negative camber in the rear. That became around -2.2° camber when I went to 275's. Then I needed around -2.5 or so when I switched to 285's. Subtract another 9mm (almost 3/8") of offset and your set-up will be even tighter.
I was running 245/35 when I had these on my Altima sedan (see pic). After having the rear fenders rolled, that wheel & tire combo fit with no problem. I know the more narrow tires helped with the fitment issue, but I was hoping to abandon the stretched tire look on the G. I guess I'll start with 265's and see where I can go from there. Thanks of the info guys.

Good luck and please keep us posted!


FYI... The V36 G Sedans already have the fenders rolled flat in the rear so at least you won't have to get the fenders rolled on this car like you did on your Altima. You will probably have to trim the rear felt fender liner though... Its quite easy to do, just need a sharp razor blade/box cutter and it's helpful if it has a depth adjustment so you don't cut into the paint below the liner.

Went with 255/30/21 in the rear and -4 camber to clear without touching the fenders a little more than I wanted but I dont mind the look

Looks like you may have room to run a bit less camber in back, at least from that last pic you posted.

Can I run 275/40/18 square on 18x9.5 +38 front and rear? I'm about to purchase a second set of wheels. Or should I do 265/40? I'm most likely supercharging the car and I think the car could use the extra tread width.

275s up front will grip like a cat on a curtain. I'd just go for 275, especially out back

I think you'll be fine with this set-up. I'm currently running 255's on my 20x9.5" +35 with a 10mm spacer up front without any issues. But I am planning to change the front to 275/35R20 Toyo T1S's and will remove the spacers, which should end up very close to what I'm running now. I have a buddy that is running pretty much this same set-up without any issues. For the rear you'll probably want to add some ~10mm spacers to push them out a bit for a more flush look.

It's also very dependent on wheel design and calipers.... I had to run spacers on my wheels to clear them

Adrian, did you roll your front fender edge? I would like to run 275s in front when my 245s are toasted, but I'm at -1 camber and don't want to have to go further negative to clear that edge. I could run 265s but there aren't very many tire choices in that size

Thanks for the help guys, I'll go with the 275/40/18 all around. The wheels are Weds Sport SA-15R. I'll be powdercoating them in satin black. They clear the Akebono without any spacers.

More camber is OK as long as your toe is good. I have been in the -2.5 range on my new tires and things look pretty good a few months in. More grip up front too. Out back is where you want less camber.

Check Rochesters recent postings in his build thread, his inner front tread wear is pretty bad, and his camber was around -2 with toe in spec.
FWIW I'd just rather run less camber, if that means running a slightly narrower tread I guess that's ok

You think my 18x9.5 +38 with 275/40/18 up front will fit fine with minimal camber?

Those are the same specs as my 18s, I think it's going to be real tight without rolling that fender edge. If I get some time later in the week I'll put a rear one up front, they are 285/40 though so I'm sure I won't be able to drop it all the way down, lol.
