Blnewt,
I have a mild drop with Ark springs in my coupe. I'm about to pull the trigger on a 19x8.5 +30 front 19 10 +35 rear. My plan is to swap my current 245/40 to the front and go with a 285/35 rear. I'm looking for a flush fit. Option two is 19x8.5 f ,19x9.5 rear both +35 . I'd love sticking with the first option but I'll bail on it based on your opinion. Experience goes a long way considering I probably won't live long enough to make ALL the mistakes that can be made.
Thanx

Coupe or Sedan?
Coupe 9+22 245/35/20 & 10+25 275/30/20
Sedan 9+32 245/35/20 & 10+45 285/30/20

Thanks blnewt!
I talked with a local dealer this afternoon and he recommended I run the 20x10 +25 front and 20x11 +28 rear and he says it won't rub. What do you think? Would that require an aggressively stretched rear tire to fit?

You'll have to run camber, stretched and poked (and maybe a fender pull)
I'd find a different dealer.

There may be some 17s that will clear the big calipers but you'd have to search a while.
Here's the template that you can send to vendors to verify clearance.
Good Luck!

There's a couple 275 square setups here, but on 20s, so it can be done

Any idea if 2003 G35 Sedan wheels (17x7 +45mm) will fit without any issues or spacers needed on my base 2009 G37x Sedan (stock wheels are 17x7.5 +45mm) for use as a winter setup?

Thanks for your help.

They'll be OK, the OEM size for those wheels is 215/55/17 but you could run the 225/55/17s on them.

Hello,

I came across a very good deal on a set of ADR M-Sport 19" rims. They are 19 x 8.5 / +35mm Offset. I have a 2011 G37x Sedan (non sport brakes) I am currently at stock height but will be looking for coilovers come spring time next year. I wanted to know if this would be a good setup for my car.

Also can I run 245/40/19 all around, I do not want stretched tires, as it is not appealing to me to view the lip of the rim outside of the tire.

I have attached a few pictures of them. One of them is hyper silver and the other 3 are hyper black (hence the very low price.) That doesn't bother me because my plan is to have them powder coated, or have the hyper silver one refinished to hyper black.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
