Exclamation Got new wheels

Hi there guys,

Recently my little brother gave me a present which are a new set of 19" wheels for my G37s sedan. They 19x9,5 all around.... Jikeeeeeessss!!! So he doesn't know about the staggered setup the G has sooooo i cant blame him.

But what i wanna ask is this... What kinda tires do i need to buy for these wide wheels... And will the front wheel rub when i turn or something?
Because those things are once again... Wwwwiiidddeee!!

P.s i have lowering springs at home but i haven't installed them yet.
Any info would be appreciated.

Keep your tires in the 245 width range and you should be OK up front, any wider and you may rub the liner and like mentioned offsets are a biggie

Assuming the offsets are OK then the 275s are a good fit for 9.5" rims.

If they are 35 offset I'm pretty sure you will be fine with 245 & 275. What's the drop on the springs ?

Tein S techs almost always drop a bit more than advertised, more like another 1/2"-3/4". Looks like rks is running sizes in wheels, tires & similar offsets so they should work just fine. You'll almost surely need some camber/toe kits for that drop.
