Just ordered a set of H&R Trak+ 5mm Spacers. Ordered them in black too since my inner wheels are black. Attention to detail. When I return home again I'll add them to the front wheels, netting a +35, and see how they fit/look.

Currently sitting on Tein S-Techs with Tokico shocks and got 19x9.5/10.5 +22 on the way.From what I have seen I can get away with 245/35/19 and 285/30/19?

I hope this is for a coupe. A +22 is way too aggressive for a sedan.

Would 19x9.5 +22 on all 4 corners still be aggressive ?
I'd run a very slight stretch if necessary, I'm also going to be lowered on coils

Your stock S wheels~
2007 18" sport wheels
Front: 18x7.5 +45mm offset
Rear: 18x8.5 +50mm offset
Using our handy calculator you'll get~
Fronts~Outer Position:extend by 48.4mm
Rears~Outer Position:extend by 40.7mm
So in short, you'll be 2" further out in front, and 1.75" further out in back.
Just take a straight edge from your current setup and add the above #s to see where you'll be. The front fenders aren't rolled like the rears so it'll be a tough fit IMO.

I'm looking at bridgestone S-04s heard a lot of good things about them.

Don't know if I should go 285 I'm on a 10 inch wheel and these tires in 275 are about 10.9 inches wide according to tire rack. although it does sound tempting











Sliding is too much fun though....Can you tell?

285 will fit on a 10" wide wheel.

My 295s fit perfect on my 10" rims, perfect tire wear after 5k miles


Skyline, you should hang that tire up like a trophy, that's awesome!
