Will 265/35 fit on a 19x9+40 in the front of a '13 6MT sedan? Eyeball says yes, but I have yet to see anyone running it here or G35Driver

I know the 19x9 works as I used to have 245/40s on, but I wanted less stretch and the 265/35 tires were a steal.

Thanks in advance...

OK guys, I have a 2009 G37xS sedan lowered on Swift springs. I also have a set of 19x8.5 +46mm wheels installed with 245/40-19 tires. The thought occured to me that I might get some spacers in order to help the weak offset of this setup. For the sedan, it seems like a nice flush setup is 20x9 +32 and 20x10.5 +45.

Playing with the calculators, it seems I would need a 20mm spacer in the front and 25mm in rear to come close to those offsets. Does that seem right?

Any concerns with bolt on spacers (H&R DRM) in these sizes? I know I should just get new wheels that are to my liking, but this is a temporary solution.

Thanks!

So long as you either use extended lug studs or the spacers come with new lug studs built in, you should be fine.

Hey guys,

My friend has a 2013 G37s sedan and about to buy some wheels

There is a set of volks gt30 with these specs:

Front 20" 8 1/2 offsets +42
Back 20" 9 1/2 offsets +37


Would the volks fit his car?


thanks

I have a 2009 G37X. I am looking to upgrade the rims. I found a local guys selling the staggered setup off of the "S" Sedan.

Using the Calculator:

F:225/50/18
R:245/45/18

Results in a different of .66%. Is this safe for the AWD? I would figure so since it's below the 3% number I've been reading.

Those will work fine, if you want an even sportier look and a bit more planted ride you can also go 245/45/18 & 275/40/18 that would look and you'll still be below 1% on diameters.

Hopefully this question won't come off as me being lazy about doing my own research. I have and I've gotten so many different answers that I'm not sure which is correct for my situation.

I'm planning on ordering a set of super deep Forgestar F14s, 19x9.5 and 19x10 for my G37S sedan lowered on Swift springs. Will the offset of +30 front and +40 rear give me a flush look without having to do any other modification?

I'm planning on going with 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 tires. Should i got with 255/40/19 for the 19x9.5 wheel for a better fitment?

Thanks.

It's going to be a tight fit, especially in front. A +35 front would be better IMO, with a mild Swift drop the front inner fender well may not be an issue though. I'd stick w/ the 245s in front w/ that tight clearance.

alright so i got myself WORK GS4

20x9.5+25
20x10.5+23

not sure why RAV gave me +23 at the back! even though most people here who got GS4 went with +32 , i even asked in the email but no reply? actually sent 2 PM's for updates cuz they are spacial order but no reply??? but anyway, i'm planning to go with 285/30 at the back and 245/35 at the front. i understand that +23 is a bit aggressive,

is there a big difference? will i need spacers at the front or the back for a perfect flush?

a 285 in the back with that sizing actually has a little poke so you'll need to dial in some camber

Hey Ladies and Gents,

I got a G37 Coupe Sport and would like to run 20x10 ET35 on the back with 275/35/20 and don't want the rims to stick out from rear quarters, I rather have them little in and adjust with spacers if needed.

So is anyone running 20x10 ET35 on rear and have feedback or a pic? (or 20x10.5 ET41, it's same from outside)

Thanks

Art

PS: Dropped on Eibach Pro

Thank you for pointing out, it's a Coupe Sport, corrected my org post

I am just so excited to get some new wheels that my mind is somewhere else

PS: I want them to look like this but on coupe, wheel just behind fender/quarter and tires even with wheels.

Have a 2008 g37s coupe that's getting lowered on swift springs, looking at ordering wheels soon but wanted to check offsets and tires before I pull the trigger. Wheels are 19x9.5 +20 and 19x10.5+30 was thinking about running 245/35 and 275/35 tires, will this setup work with those offsets?
