Wink Looking at Tire options.. Sports!

Ok so I've heard to run 285/40/19 REARS and 245/45/19 FRONTS...

Now, I want to see what this looks like because I am looking for a 2 inch sidewall that is FLUSH with the sides of my wheels.

Does anyone have any pics of their tire setups so I can take a look. I do not want the sidewall hanging over the wheel or the sidewall being to far in, which is what is going on with these damn 225 F and 245 R's I have now.

I want something flush that gets all of the wheel well and makes it look nice. I do also want a tire combo that will allow for the car to look even. A 45 and a 40 may sit the car uneven but the way the suspension is I am looking for more tread in the rear to keep that nose down appearance.

I hate how my *** end goes signifigantly lower then the front and I have more tread on those front tires. Unappealing to me...

So post ur pics of your tire setups that you have 2 inches of sidewall and the tire is flush with the wheel (sport wheels if you can)

Maybe I'm not understanding exactly what you're asking...

Are you talking about the sport 19" wheels? In my humble opinion, a 285 will not look right on a 9" wheel...

Wheel offset has more to do with being flush than tire sizes. If you plan on keeping the stock sport wheels, investing in a set of spacers will help you achieve the flush look you want, more so than buying beefier tires.

I wouldn't run anything over 275 on rear stock wheels.

I want to flush the tire with the wheel. I did see 275's on the rear were flush with the front surface of the wheel. Ideally I want to go a little more tread on the rear so..

275/45/19 on rear

Now I need something flush with the front wheel surface that looks equally as good as the rear.

I do not want stretched tires with the sidewall stuck in like the factory tires look.

Maybe 245/40/19... Something with a smaller sidewall so the car has the nose down stance. Not vise-versa where I am running more tread on the front.

You'll have a very hard time finding tires that are flush with rims; it has nothing to do with size. It has to do with protecting your rims from curbing, road holes ect... that’s why you'll notice it has a little recess right before the wheel as well. Pretty much any large diameter, low profile sidewall will be like this and for good reason.

This guy is talking about having a meaty tire on the rim, not a "hella flush" look.

Go with 245/275 in a EHP tire, and you'll be happy.


I'm guessing the secondary reason you want to go with a wider tire is for more grip right?

How about 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 in Yokohama AD08?

This is exactly what look I am going for. Meaning, the tire sidewall is flush with the face of the wheel. However, on this tire it has meatier tread, but I was planning to run Bridgestone RE050A.

So I figured 245 on front (8.5) and 275 on rears (9) and I would achieve this look.
Do you guys agree?

Also, I am thinking of going 45 rear and 40 front.

That's too much sidewall. If you're upping the tread width, go with a 40 and 35 to stay closer to factory diameter.

Do you drive in rain frequently? If not, I'd recommend you go with the stickier tire.

My 09' G37S has the original tires and wheels and I wish the tire sidewall stuck out past the wheel more than it does now to protect the wheel from curbing, which I have plenty of.

When I need new tires I'm going to get the same sizes as the 370z with the touring package......245/40/19 & 275/35/19. After that I will look into new wheels.

Tire rack recommends this setup for OEM

Or, you can select a custom size.

The optional sizes listed above are found to fit most vehicles when using proper wheels. General vehicle condition, vehicle and wheel application can affect proper tire fitment. Optional sizes should be carefully tested on a vehicle and clearances with the body work and suspension should be checked prior to driving on a tire. Failure to do so can cause damage to the vehicle and/or sudden tire failure due to

Front 245/40-19

Rear 285/35-19

Will bring the tread to the wheel, and keep the same height as original. (profile)
