Hey folks got a steal of a deal on some wheels and wanted to see how much of a clearance issue will I have in the rear. I'm currently dropped on Swifts.

Wheel Specs:
19x8.5 +38 5x114.3 255/36
19x10.5 +45 5x114.3 295/30

Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks I do see it displayed a message saying it doesn't fit with the oem tire specifications but they gave me a set of square tires 245/35r20. Does a square set up matter for a rwd? What's the pros and cons , my current set up is staggered

I'm going to guess this is for a coupe. Fronts will be fine, may have some rubbing in the rear with those tires depending on your camber.

Square on a RWD will cause oversteer, if that sort of thing matters to you. Personally, I'd keep with the stagger if you can.

I have a 2012 G37S Sedan, currently in natural camber. Was hoping I didn't have to upgrade once I install the wheels.

Is this really a thing? Does that only count for the sedan?

Will they fit G37x Sedan? I plugged in the numbers, +1.8 inches of poke in the rear, so not sure...

Took me a minute to get the swift springs installed (pain in the A) and wheels on... but after a bunch of hours of work... Nom Nom Nom...! Rear poke a tad bit more then I would like, but they are growing on me, and fronts deff need spacers, going to try the 20mm spacers people have recommended for the fronts, but part of me says I should get 10mm's...

Thank you! My cousin has a fender roller so if push come to shove I'd roll them a bit to make sure the tuck. If the weather clears up I'll have them on by the end of the week.

Nice job! Do you have a pic running down the side? If the rear poke doesn't completely grow on you you could always go w/a 235/40 265/35 tire combo to give you a little relief back there when those tires are ready to be replaced.

Hard to argue w/ the quality and weight savings of those Forged Z wheels, glad you took the leap

What camber spec are you at back there? Might want to go .5 degrees more negative, should get that tire right at the fender line. IMO that would be a better look.

It's still the OEM camber, this was about an hour after dropping her on swift springs. I slapped the Rays on to see fitment and stuff, put the oem 17's back on for now. Haven't been in for an alignment yet, going to wait a week for the springs to settle. Also, the Rays rears need replacement and the prior owner spray painted / rattle canned the wheels black, so need to clean those up. I think I'm going to keep them black, but his paint job was terribad...

MNfiniti -

Thought I would post this here rather than our PM thread:

275/35 Michelin PSS, rear camber -1.7, FA 500 coils, 26.75" from fender arch to floor on the rear, 1/4 tank of gas (this makes a BIG difference)







That's me in the reflection, zipping around on my shop stool, lots of fun!!!
