True, it's hard to tell what it looks like with dark colors and an overcast sky.
post em up when you get them.

Yeah, sorry about that. BUT I can confirm that the car can take a 305 in the rear with a +43 offset on a 10.5 wheel. Extremely mild rear camber - something like 1.5. And the 265 doesn't rub at full lock up front. That's with a +35 offset and 9.5 wheel. But the front overall tire height is a little shorter than stock, so that might be a factor.

The tires are Hankook V12 Evo. I've read that Michelin PSS's run a little wider.

It's still raining so it's still overcast, but see if these show the fitment a little better.:

Radio, need some pics behind the car at ground level so we can see those badas$ steam rollers! Way to rep us fatties by going 305s, bet you love how planted that back end feels.
I loved how the 295s worked out and 305s would be even better
BTW, how much inner clearance do you have in back? Nice choice in rims too, looking primo!

Finally a clear day! Hopefully these are clearer...













Thanks for the comments! To answer your questions, yes, the car finally hooks up! And now that it does, it's faster since the trac control isn't intervening all the time. Big difference. AND I saved around 6 lbs per corner in unsprung, rotational mass! Big difference there as well. I included a couple pics of the inner clearance, there's PLENTY of clearance there.

New member here. Just looking for some advice on a aggressive look for my 2013 G37 Journey sedan OB.

I love the fat tire look on all these pages. I've been through just about every page and have some what of an idea but I'm a complete newb when it comes to wheels and tires. Anyone have a suggestion on the offset that I should be looking for? I currently don't have any drop but am looking to get one in about a year.

Wheels I'm looking to get are Avant Garde M510 19".

Thanks!

If you want a staggered setup you can run 8.5 +35 front on 245/40/19 and 10 +45 on 285 or 295/35/19 rear or 10.5 +45 running 285/35/19s. Check those M510 widths & offsets and shoot me a PM if you want.

I've read a lot about the wheels in the thread and some say they have their cars cambered with 10.5 wide rims in the back but no one says if its required. Im new to the site and never bought bigger tires but I like the G37S coupe I got so im sticking with it and building it up, but will a 19X10.5 +27 offset fit in the rear with a 275/30 with all suspension stock? it looks like it wil from just looking at it as it sits with the stock tires on it.

Check out my build thread for a sedan on 245s up front and 275s on the back to see if you like the look. I have offset and sizing info in there as well

I'm planning to get my wheels and tires installed today. Anyone know if I'll be running into any issues with 275/30/20 in the rear with 20x10 +40 offset? I have a coupe lowered on Tanabe coilovers

Nope, you'll be fine back there. What are you running up front?

245/35/20 on 20x9 with +35 offset. How wide do you think I could go in the rear without rubbing issues? I wanted 285 but I was unsure. 275 seemed safer
