I have a 2011 G37 Journey Sedan RWD and just upgraded to the 19" Vert wheels (at least I believe they are or they are the coupe ones?), here are the specs:

19x9 JJ64A N062-990B Enkei Rear Wheel

19x8.5 N062-985 Enkei Front Wheel

I'm going to be purchasing an Eibach Pro Kit before I install these wheels. My question is, what are some affordable daily driver tires (no need for performance or handling, I drive ever-unfinished roads of Orlando I4).

Looking to spend under $200 a tire but let me know whats out there. Since Florida tears up wheels pretty easily, just looking for something that isn't too expensive since I do not need performance tires. Especially since it's a staggered setup, just trying to get the most out of them. I don't need super fat tires or anything...

Any suggestions as to what sizes I need/etc. would be fantastic! Trying to get these shoes on before the end of June!

 

Check tirerack.com and enter those sizes or your vehicle info and it will get you a decent list of options. Hankook Ventus Evo or Kumho Ecsta are good choices for the price.

 

Thanks blnewt, I went ahead and did so and am gonna go with the Ventus. Should have them here this weekend. I should be okay with a 245 in front and 275 in back or are there issues with rubbing? Is there any benefit/downside to spacers other than aesthetic?

I appreciate your help - after lurking for half a year you truly are the guru on tire/wheel advice & general new member question. I'm working on my window trim next via your DIY post, just waiting for my vinyl to get here.

In your experience (or anyone here) have you run into anybody vinyl wrapping the Mt Fuji emblem & chrome rear spoiler? I think I'd prefer that to plastidip but haven't seen many members go that route.

Once I get everything all setup and mounted I'll be sure to post!

 

Also - unrelated - but does anyone have a recommendation for a good curb rash repair &/or powder coating business in the greater Orlando or Tampa area?

I don't mind making a drive for someone who does good work for a reasonable price - everyone listed in Orlando are getting destroyed via Yelp reviews. Not that those are definitive but I figured there's gotta be some FL members who have found a decent shop.

Thanks in advance everyone, I'm excited to get this vehicle perfect. Only thing left to do (for me anyway) after all this is to find an extra set of headlights to paint/halo and to get some sways.

 

The vert wheels have a +30 offset in back, you'll be pretty close to the fender w/ a 275, should tuck ok but at stock height the tire may poke a bit.

 

Hmm, okay good to know. I may just go with the 245 all around then. Should suffice my stance needs and if I want to try to move to 275 in the future, I can deal with it then.

Thanks again!

 

That's a safer plan, and if you want to get the front wheels to match the fit at the rear, a spacer will solve that.
