Thinking of some Avant Garde M310's and want to check on sizing.

19x8.5 et35 245/40/19 Front

19x9.5 et40 275/35/19 Rear

Would that be pretty flush with swift springs?

Thanks in advance.
That's a good setup for your sedan

Hey guys, I have the 2012 G37x with the basic 17" wheels and they just look terrible. All I want is either the 19" anniversary edition 9 spoke wheels or the 19" 10 spoke coupe wheels, but I need a square setup for the AWD.

*Based on my research I don't think I'm repeating a question but here goes:

If i can't find a square set, and buy the staggered wheels, can I simply put 225/45/19 tires on both sets of wheels even though the width is slightly different? I'm not sure how much tires can stretch for the rear wheels, and I'm not sure if this would make my car look weird in the way the tires fit.

also, I'm assuming that even if the tiers are all the same and this does work, I would still not be able to rotate them because the wheels are different...

any clarification would be appreciated!!

You could split the difference and run 235/40/19s on the staggered coupe wheels or 245/40/19s all around without issue, and no you couldn't do a true 4 wheel rotation but could dismount remount if you don't mind the added expense. The wider wheels should always be placed in back.

I found a local deal on a set of Ace Convex wheels. The wheel specs are 20x8.5 with +45 offset and 245/35/20 tires all around.

How will this setup look on my G37xS sedan?

Will look alright, I'd run +35 offset for a more flush fit though.

So there was a mistake on his ad. The ace wheels is 20x9 with a +20 offset, not +45 offset. I am keeping the suspension stock.

Will this fit just fine?

I didn't look at the ad and am short on time, I'll check tonight if you can hang on.

Just picked up a 2013 G37x Sedan for my fiancé. Planning to lower it on S Techs with camber kit and toe bolts and all that jazz. I've found my wheels of choice and realized after weeks of research that I can't run an 11" wheel in the rear without really stretched tires and like -5 degrees of camber. Knowing this I've decided to go with 9.5 35et all around. I plan on adding a 5mm spacer up front and a 10mm spacer in the rear. I'm debating 255/40/19 all around or 235/40 and 265/35. Will also be rolling fenders as flat as possible. No pulling as I do not want to destroy the OEM body lines.

With that being said, any recommendations?

Those will poke a bit on your Sedan, like I said the +35 would fit well, those +20s will poke about 10mm.

The rears are already flat rolled, but not the fronts. I'd run 245/40/19s all around and add spacing as needed, that way you can do a true 4 wheel rotation and not worry about any diameter variance issues. It's going to be close in front without spacing but getting the front rolled will work well.

I've found a set of wheels I like but the 19" versions don't have any offset choices.

For a staggered setup, the front is 19x8.5 +32 offset and the rear is 19x10 +48. Will the rear work?

G37s coupe, stock suspension. Thx

If you had a sedan those would work well, you'll want spacers w/ them for your coupe. Also be sure you have adequate brake clearance for your big S calipers.

How can I tell my offset on my wheels?

My fronts are 20" the tires are 275/30R20 - Rear. 245/35R20 in the Fronts.
I don't know much about wheels and offset to be honest and that's one thing I'd like to learn. It's an 09 Sedan g37.
