Back then in my 05 g35. I had 19x8.5 with 245/35 and 19x9.5 with 275/30 perfect fit and looked great

So I was looking into possibly getting Work Wheels, but they do not come in custom offset. So my question is: Would the 19x9.5 +25 offset (all around) work on the G37x Coupe? Any rubbing? I remember seeing on of Lt8Che's setups, which was 18x9.5 +30, but would that extra 5 make a difference? Thanks!

He was running 265s, you can run as narrow as a 245/40 safely on a 9.5 so a 255/40 would be the same fit at the fender as Lt8ches' setup, and going w/ a 245 would give you an additional 5mm to work with.

Either way, this gave me false hopes, I think.
Camber Offset Calculator | GTSparkplugs
Taking a look at that I entered 27" for the tire diameter (it's close to our OEM diameter) and at 1 degree of camber it lisfed 0.47, at 2 degrees camber it listed 0.94. I think this is in inches, so that would be aprox. a 1/2" of tuck per degree of neg. camber. That sounds about right, as that would be 13mm.

Hey blnewt, thanks for the response. Do you happen to know if 265 would work with the +25 offset?

Probably need to run a bit higher camber, might shoot a PM to Lt8che and see what he says since he's run that setup firsthand.

I'm planning on putting a square set of tires 245/40-19 Ventus Evo 2 on 370Z sport wheels (9" wide front, 10" wide rear). foresee any issues? I know that max width is supposed to be 9.5" on the tires but it's just one step higher. On the sedan I think it will also fit better into the wheel well since the Z wheels are slightly too inset in the front and slightly poke in the rear.

Shoot a PM to Jfisher, he has the Z wheels setup and should have good info, I think a 255 will work in back and that would be a better mount.

I have this same tire setup currently with my TSW wheels. Staggered wheels with square tires. I went with the 255 width as Brad described as a good middle ground for the front and rear widths.

Hi there, i have a question here. I have a '10 G37S Sedan, lowered on Tein-S springs.
Currently, i am sitting on STR607 20x9 (+30)F/ 20x10.5R (+45) , with 245/30/20 and 275/30/20, front has 20mm spacers on.

I am looking into a set of used wheels. They are 20x10 +20 square set, with 255/35/20 tires mounted on. Will the rear fit?

So your current front w/ spacers is a 9 with a net +10 offset, that should have crazy poke. If that's the fit you're looking for then the 10+20 will fit, but IMO it's quite a bit too aggressive, the tires might just tuck but the wheels will be quite a bit out from the fenders.

I might have it mix up, the Front is net +15 offset with 245/30/20
Im not sure will the rear fit at all, being +20 instead of +45. It is .5 inches (12.7mm) shorter overall, i guess.

Im looking for a similar setup like below. see attachment for my current picture.

Thank you sir

If you want that exact setup with those STR wheels they have offsets that are much easier to fit. The 5 spoke STRs in that pic you can run a 9" +35 on 245/35/20s and in back a 20x10.5 +40 on 285/30/20s
Here's those wheels
STR Racing Wheels ? STR 607

Would 19X10 +30 all around fit a G37 lowered on Eibach springs, with 4 matching 245/35/ZR19 or 265/35/ZR19?

For a coupe that would be a good fit, a little aggressive on a sedan. The 245's would be a stretch so if you're looking to go meat a 265 or 275 will work also.
