Tire Size for new wheels.

What's up fellas!

I have a 2010 G37S coupe. I just received a set of vertini wheels: F19x8.5 +15 and R19x9.5 +20

What size tires should I be running? I don't want any rubbing and the car is currently lowered on Tein H-Tech springs. Thanks?

Probably best to keep on the narrow side to avoid any issues if you plan to run camber in-spec. A 225/45/19 front 245/40/19 rear should get you just inside the fenders and still be a safe mount on those wheels. You may have just a bit more room to run a 235/45 & 255/40 but it will be close.

That's way too narrow. The fronts I know I'll be okay with 245/35/19 but the rear I was thinking 265/30/19 or 265/35/19?

If you want to give that combo a shot I'd run 245/40~265/35 just to keep diameters closer to oem, unless you're really wanting the shorter sidewalls. I tend to sway towards more conservative fitment as one persons flush is another's poke, lol.

Got it sorted out fellas, ended up with 245/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear. +15 offset front and +20 offset rear. No spacers, no mods, no rubbing issues at all. Thanks again for all your input./feedback

congrats on completely disregarding the input others gave you
30 profile in the rear is going to look and feel awful

On the contrary- it feels right. But then, to each their own. Thanks man!
