2012 g37 sedan

I have recently started getting parts for my G and I have some size 19x10 all around are wheels and I'm going to lower it with TEIN High Tech Lowering Springs (Lowers Front: 1.5" / Rear: 1.3") and I want to know good tire dimensions and brands(no rubbing please, just a clean look)

Thanks

Welcome the site. I'm moving this to the wheel/tire folder to keep on topic.


Do you have your wheel offset specs, this will determine what will work best. Hopefully you have enough positive offset so you won't be poking as this will create a lot of work to get it right. Offsets in the +40 would work pretty well.

No problem, the offset should be stamped on the inside of the wheel, usually in the spoke/hub area or a sticker on the inside of the wheel. It can be labeled as a +35 for example, or ET 35 for a +35 offset wheel. If nothing else, do you have a pic of the wheel, maybe only one offset is available for the 10" width.

If you don't drive in freezing temps w/ snow then go w/ a summer tire, the dry & wet grip is much better than an all season tire.
If you have a sedan you're more limited on what will work w/ a 10+35, About the widest you can run would be a 255/40/19 and that may still rub in front under severe compression, but that is the narrowest tire you should run on a 10" wheel.

If you have a coupe you can run more tire, a 265/35/19 all around should work ok.

As far as tire brands, Michelin Pilot Super Sports are the gold standard but are costly. The Continental DW, Bridgestone Pole Position SO-4, BFG Comp Sport 2, are good options and a couple other Max performance Summers on more of a budget would be Hankook Ventus Evo and Kumho Ecsta LE.

Just depends on your budget and how you plan to drive the car. If you really need tires for freezing temps the All season Continental DWS and Michelin Pilot A/S are good choices.

If you really do a lot of cold weather driving you might consider a dedicated winter wheel/tire setup and get Summers for the rest of the year.

I'd take it in steps, do you have a coupe or sedan, and depending on which one then select the tire sizes I listed above. Once you get them mounted then determine if you need spacing and if so, how much you want.
Site vendor B2Autodesigns has a good selection if & when.

I'd run the 255/40/19s then. FWIW here's a sedan on 10+35 on a stretched 245 (on 20s)
