By stretching them in the back will that give me any issues?

255s on 10.5 width is fairly common, not what I'd want to run but better than running a real wide tire on a narrow wheel since you'll have better sidewall stability on a stretch vs a pinch mount. Also your wheel edge will be much more exposed. And running them on a sedan you will probably need to add some camber to keep off the fenders too

Ok I see thanks,yeah I was reading up a bit on camber in the rear,might have to get a camber kit...I plan on bagging the car at the end of the year so I wanted to play around with a 20s setup since I have 19s

Actually, that's wrong as well. 275/40/19 and 245/45/19 are the EXACT same except for width.

Do you have the original reply from my quote? probably didn't suggest that combo from the difference from OEM (245/40/19) baseline, but ???

I'd get a piece of foam or a few stacked magazines and rest along your sidewall, get the thickness exactly where you want at the fender, then measure how thick that is, then get the closest spacer to that measurement.

Tried to fit my wheels on last weekend and I just couldn't, idk if it's the 255/35 or maybe a 10.5 won't fit 😞

Looks like they're barely inside the fenders or are the pics not very accurate? I knew it was going to be a tough fit but what camber are you running?

Yeah man barely inside,wheel wouldn't even turn because it was sitting on the fender, went all the way negative,lifted up the coils but nada..I like how the 10.5 looks but I might have to get one with a higher offset or or just go 10 in the rear, bit these came off a coupe so I'm like what the hell lol

Hi everyone, newbie here. Been looking on the forum for seems like forever to find the right wheel size and offset that I would like.

I narrowed it down to a square setup for my Journey Coupe
19x9.5 +20 to +25 w/ 255/40 tire
(may need a spacer in the rear but i'm ok with that)

I want something as flush as possible yet functional. I am going to be putting Eibach springs. Jut want to make sure this setup will work before I start looking at wheels so I know exactly what to look for.
Thanks!

You'll have a good fit w/ those specs once lowered, I'd lean toward the +25 just to have a bit more room at in-spec camber.

Thanks for chiming in blnewt - do you think a 245/40 would be better to be into spec? The wheels I am currently looking at are 19x9.5 +22

Alright so I am ready for another set of wheels, and this time I have decided to going with 2 piece wheels. I am looking at getting a custom built set from GMR wheels. Anyways I have a 2012 Infiniti G37x AWD coupe. I have the Fly1 Motorsports 12mm wider fenders in the front and I am on airlift with an bbk upgrade. I was thinking of running 19x10 in front and 19x11 in rear. Not sure on offsets my knowledge isn't so great. Tires I was thinking 245/35 in front and 275/35 in rear. Whats y'all opinion on fitment? any information would greatly be appreciated. Don't want to spend the money if its not going to look great.

For your AWD to function properly you need to be under 1% diameter variance front to back, a 245/40 front and 275/35 rear will be MUCH better at only 0.52% smaller in back, your 35 series on both would cook your transfer case w/ a whopping 3.11% off. For a bit less stretch a 255/40 F 285/35 R will be at 0.66 variance.
As far as offsets, really depends how much camber you want to run at drive height, for in spec camber at drive height offset in the +25 range in front and +35 in back would seem pretty. close. If you're wanting a cambered look when running you can run less positive on the offsets
Need to confirm BBK clearance w/ vendor too.
