Camber I'm not that knowledgeable from it. Simply because I don't really like it.. But since you have a camber kit. You should be able to adjust it to pretty close to oem

Take a look at this setup then add/subtract to see if it's what you want~
https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...ml#post3891573
Running 10.5 +25 square, so your plans would be~
Front (19x10 +30) 6mm further in for 10" width, 5mm in for offset for a net +11 mm inside from above setup (and this is with a 275 tire)

Rear (19x11 +20) 6mm further out for 11" width, 5mm further out for offset for a net +11mm further out (again, with a 275 tire).

If you like the look of Simpsons fit but less of a chance of rubbing I'd run slightly stretched 255/40 in front
Back could also run a 255/40, this will result in approximately the same fit in back as Simpsons assuming you're running a 255 that doesn't run wide. You could always run a bit more camber in back for a little more tuck.

This pic really shows how close his setup is

You said you weren't opposed to camber so yeah, it may take something in the -2.5 range in back to tuck those in but you'll be ok in front at spec (or close to it) camber for sure.
FWIW I'm not a fan of real stretched setups, and agree about your feelings on a 255 on an 11.

Would like to keep the look "stretch" same front to rear so should i do 265 30 front to keep the same look?
Apologize tbis is the first time ive ever stretched but sincei have a nismo this is just a cruiser that id like to hard park at meets and shows so stretch is ok

Not sure if this is the right place but its related to wheel offset and caliper clearance.
The wheels i am getting are on a GTR r35
Front 19x10 +30 volk re30
Anyone think or know or know where i can find out if itll clear the factory akenbono?

They should clear but the Akebonos are a fat caliper, the GTR Brembos are longer and flatter since they're a 6 pot. You will have some room to add a spacer if needed, but if you want to send the vendor these templates to confirm

FWIW those 275s are going to be very tight back there, just imagine Simpsons setup with another 11mm further out. It can be done, just realize there will be some work involved.

19" x 9" 45mm Coupe Rims on 2010 G37x Sedan

I am looking to get some new rims for my 2010 G37x sedan and I have a fitment question for you all. I found a set of 19" x 9" rims with a +45mm offset online (which is the same as the OEM rear wheeels on the coupe, right?) and I am pretty confident that they wil fit on the rear, but I'm having trouble figuring out if they will fit in the front. I would rather not use wheels spacers and I would like to keep them flush with the fenders like my stock wheels are. Also, if these rims do work, what size tires would you all reccomend?

Thanks in advance!

Depending on how much you are dropped, you will need spacers to make them flush with the fender. 245/40/19 would be the ideal tire size for those wheels.

Well, I am trying to avoid dropping the car as well. How thick of spacers do you think I would have to run at stock height with those wheels to get them flush?

Im shooting for a fitment close to my friends g35 as far as width and tire sizes.
Hes on a 19x11 265 35
Im leaning towards 265 35 vs 275 30
Considering im 19x11 +20 rear which tire would ensure im not rubbing and my rear camber is -2.5

Unfortunately the previous generation G35 coupe can handle much more aggressive offsets, the 265s on those wheels you plan on getting would be the best plan, you still may need additional camber but you'll have 5mm more to work with vs. the 275s.
