That's what I was thinking. I was looking at that one guys square setup in the thread you mentioned about and he's running a 9.5 with a 35 offset so I figures the 9 with a 32 would sit like a quarter of an inch in. My ideal setup would be a 9.5 +40 though I think. Haven't seen those offsets yet but I think that's where I stand. Probably go extended study's and some 10mm hub centric spacers in the rear.lmk what you think. Thanks again bro

Hey man. Would it be to much trouble to ask you to upload a photo of how your car sits? Preferably down the side so I can see how flush they sit? Thank you

sorry man...don't have any pics like that, this is the best I can do till later. I'm guessing I would need a 10mm in the rear to be flush with fender. The front looks like a 15mm-20mm would be needed to be flush. I'll get pics showing how tucked it is. I'll also measure the height so you can get a better idea of how it sits.

Wow. Very clean looking sedan bro! That's 9.5 +40 all the way around right? I like the set up a lot. I'll just do some good extended studs in the front with some 10mm spacers if I'm not happy. Looks like they're good to me though. Thank you for the pictures as well, sir.

Curious if you've checked how much inside clearance you have before it hits the suspension...

i have some 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 wheels on my G. not sure what the offsets are but i was just wondering what tire sizes to go with. I dont want it to be too stretched. Also, im going to drop it about 1-1.5 inches in the near future. any suggestions would be appreciated.

Coupe or Sedan, AWD, or RWD? and without the offsets it's hard to say how much tire you can run.
As far as a reasonable tire that won't be stretched on those rims, you could run as narrow as a 225/45/19 or as wide as a 255/40/19 front and a 245/40/19 to a 285/35/19 rear, those are all within the recommended rim width range for those two widths of 19" rims. Now it comes down to how much room your wheels' offsets will allow. They should be stamped on the inside of the wheel.

its a coupe rwd. i bought the rims off some guy who had 275/35 on the rear and 225/35 on the front. i currently dont like the look of the fronts at all.. not enough tire and the gap is huge. ill look at the offsets when i get a chance to take the rims off. Im also thinking of going less wide on the rear. Maybe a 255-265/35 or 45

I'd run a 245/40 front and leave the 275/35, those are pretty good mounts on those rim widths and a decent amount of rubber.
Have you considered lowering your G?

Please help. I have a G37XS coupe. I am looking at Gramlight 57xtreme. I would like at a staggered set up (19x9.5, 19x10.5). Can you please recommend the correct offset and tire size?

19x9.5 - Available offsets are 25, 35, 43
19x10.5 Available offsets are 25, 35, 43

I am planning to lower my car in the future with Auto Fortune 500s. About the same height as Eibachs.

Thank you.

Here's a pic of a G coupe on 9.5 +35 and 10.5 +30 on 245/265 tires, that tire combo won't work for AWD so I'd run the 9.5+35 on 245/40/19 front and go w/ the 10.5 +43 and run 275/35/19 rear, you might need a small spacer in back to flush them up but better than having poke and fender issues. And those 245/275 sizes are AWD compatible

Thank you very much for the info, blnewt. Ravspec recommended the following setup for the 57xtreme because I think these are the sizes that are on sale.
19x9.5 +35
19x10.5 +35
Would those work, also?

The 10.5 +35 w/ a 275 will be real close, that's why I'd go for the +43. You can't run a narrower 265 tire either since the AWD diameter variance will be too high. I bet they'd get you those +43s at the same price if you ask nicely
