How about neither? You're going to need hellastreched tires and camber to get those wheels to work. Good luck.

Option 2, 245/40 and 275/35 is pretty common upgrade. Option 1 puts you an inch shorter than what will work properly. Option 2 will fit the wheels mentioned fine as well. I haven't heard of anyone using those tire sizes needing a fender roll or alignment change. Not every car is the same, however, but no fit issues have come across my desk.

10.5 +12 for the rears is a little too much IMO

Thanks Neal, rim/wheel calculators give Option 2 as the best setup.
Sam, there are some g37s running 10.5 in the back, like the wide setup

Neal, he is not talking about stock sized wheels. He is talking about 9.5 +12 and 10.5 +12, big difference.

You're vehicle is exactly the same as what I just purchased (color and all) and I am considering doing some of the same upgrades (clear bra, FI exhaust, Eibach Pro Kitj, etc). Can you post or send me a few pics of your vehicle? Are you happy with your upgrade choices? Any issues or things you would have done different? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure where I should start. Thanks!
