Nice. Don't know if it's the appropriate place to ask but, what's your opinion on the Ground Force GF06 Gloss Black and Rohana RC10 All Matte Black? those two looks to be my pick for wheels as of now, or any other recommendation? I have a whole winter to decide. Thank you.

I like those a lot better the the RC10s, those RC10s have spokes that tuck into the barrel rather than continuing all the way to the barrel edge, IMO that looks a bit off. I do like the Rohanna RC7 much better, those spokes go all the way to the edge.

Site Vendor Jason @Getyourwheels is a good source for most of these wheels.

It looks like the GF06 come in 19x8.5 (not 8") that's actually better, a +35 will be another 6mm out for a nice fit at the fender and a 245 width tire is a better mount on an 8.5". That's what I found on this site anyhow~

Hi guys i have a 2012 G37xS sedan. I wanted to get the Niche M158 and can't decide between 19s or 20s. Thinking of the 9.5 all around. Will the 20s clear? Planning on driving even in the snow so on hills or weird angles will it clear or will i have problems?

Welcome to the site.
The 19s come in 8.5 & 9.5" widths
The 20s only come in 8.5/10/10.5" widths
Niche Form Matte Bronze M158 Wheels
The offsets for the 19x9.5 are +35, these wheels will extend out 33mm from where your current OEM wheels are (your OEM wheels are 18x7.5 +43)
Use this calculator when trying new setups

That setup will look ok if you lower your G and run a bit more negative camber, At stock height the wheels will be right at the fender. This would be running 245/40/19 tires.
Check this thread for some various "square" setups.

So after a bit of research here, using the calculator, the calculator at willtheyfit.com, and looking at pics I went with 19x8.5 Miro 111 +35mm offset (buy 3 get 1 free deal) with Toyo Proxes 4 Plus 245/40r19 all around on my 2012 G37 non-sport.
I wanted something that looked better than stock, but not something that looked totally aftermarket, if that makes any sense.
Fitment is perfect, they fill out the wheel well nicely, sit perfectly flush with the fenders, tire is almost perfectly square on the wheel as I didn't want any stretch so I would have some protection from curbs, no rubbing or anything like that and my diameter decreased by less than .5mm overall. Car handles much better, rides a tad rougher, but the tires I had before were the most god awful things in the rain (Linglongs - from the dealer).
I know a lot of people ask questions and then never post the results. So here you go, maybe it'll help someone else down the road.
Thanks for the help guys!

I recently picked up some work t1s'... They are 8.5/9.5 35 offset... What size spacer would be ideal for my coupe with sport? I was think 25mm for the front and 20mm for the rear... I have Megan Coilovers I need to install to make it look better. What are thoughts guys?

Hey guys I'm a little new to this forum and haven't posted much in here. I recently purchased a set of Weds lxz for my 08 g37 coupe. Here are the specs: 19x9.5 +18 (3.5 inch lip) fronts and 19x10.5 +18 rears ( 4 inch lip ).
I'm trying to figure out what size tires would make my car have a perfect fitment look or flush. I wouldnt really want to stretch out my tires. I'd like the tire to have some meat for grip and have a flush look also. I'm currently tucked on bc coil overs also.
Any suggestion guys? (:

I'd get the wheels installed, the car dropped to the height you want, and then see exactly how much spacing you want. Spacers are simple to install later (at least the bolt on versions). Much better than buying spacers first then regretting it. What size tires are you planning to run?
