You'll have plenty of clearance on the inside, now if you were running an 18x9.5 +45 it will be close but still clear by about 5mm.

Thanks. I will go with the 245/275 setup.

I got more info for the setup I want. 245/40/19x8.5 +43mm front and 275/35/19x9.0 +45mm rear. How much of a difference does the +43mm make?

I assume these are standard OEM Infiniti coupe wheels, that slight 2mm offset difference just brings the front wheel out a bit to be more in line w/ the wider rears, barely noticeable really.

If these are aftermarket wheels then you will need to verify clearance for your big S brakes though.

Correct, these are the IPL wheels. As long as there's no clearance issues in the inside, I have no other worries. Thanks a lot for your responses.

Best offest for Stock Suspension?

What's the best offset for 19x9.5 (front) and 19 x 10.5 (rear).

Bone stock sports suspension. Looking for semi aggressive on normal tires.

Not feeling the fat lady in a G string with butt cheeks sticking out trying to catch some fresh air look.

Thanks

2015 Q60 Coupe. Picking this up next week if the numbers are right.

Looking at the Works CR 2P, Step Lip, GT Silver.

This is the number one of the sponsers gave me. How would this look on bone stock suspension. (not planning to drop at all).

19x9.5 +22 19x10.5 +22

It gets a little tricky if your Q60 has the big sport brakes, the Work R-Disc has the most clearance behind the spokes to clear big calipers, the A Disc is the middle ground and the O Disc has the deepest concave/dish w/ the least clearance.
As long as your very clear w/ the vendor about your brake setup and how flush you want your wheels/tires to be at the fender they should get you a good setup. The 10.5 +22 will poke at stock height but running a stretch tire should still allow them to tuck into the fender.

Yeah, it has the sports brake, so R-Disc it is.

Not feeling the "Stretch look", where the rims sticks out and the tire looks like is about to die.

So, what do you recommend the offset to be at stick height? I don't want the rims to stick out at all.

No stretches for me either, hard enough to keep my rims from getting rashed w/ some rubber there to protect them, lol.

If you don't want any poke offset in the +30 to +35 range would be better. Might use this calculator and plug in your current rim and then the new setup and just get a measuring stick put up to your current set and see what it will take to get right at that fender edge.

Hello all,

Like most of you i've been going back and forth on wheel/tire setups in most if not all of my free time. Recently i came across a brand of wheels called Ambit and was curious if anyone knew anything about them?

I drive an 08 g37s coupe and would like to replicate the G they advertise with a 18x9.5 et15 and 18x10.5 et15? Any tire suggestions that would work with eibach pro kit springs?

Thanks

i have a 09 G37S sedan, no akebonos currently with 245/45/18 all round with Rays Gram Lights 57F Pro 18x7.5 +47 f&r, i've been told this is a bad fitment and i plan to run spacers, would this fitment be rubbing anything as at the moment the car is in the shop with issues with the rear rotors (need machining possibly).

I also plan to change out for Work Emotions XD9 18x9 +30 all round, would this fit with 245 or 255s better?

Thanks

Do you have a pic of this G w/ that setup? Those sizes would require a slammed, cambered, stretched setup and possibly fender work.

Those gramlites aren't necessarily a bad fit, just a very conservative one. The fitment will be fine as far as no rubbing. You mentioned a 09 G37S, if you have a G37"S" then you DO have the Akebonos, otherwise your G37 is a Journey or base unless you have a G37X or XS. If you do have a true S and Akebonos then I seriously doubt you'd have clearance for the calipers.
The 18x9 +30 Work wheels will be right at the fender in front so no wider than a 245, they also have them in a +38 which you could then run wider 255 tires but may have clearance issues if you get Akebonos.
