G/L Evil, that's really aggressive but w/ stretched tires they should slip inside the fender. You should be ok at the steering knuckle but probably have to run no wider than 255s

^^^I plan on running 255/40 @ all 4. I think the variance was way under 1%

So i have an extra set of Nitto tires laying around and i was curious if a 255/35 will fit on my G37x sedan. 20x9+35 and I am lowered on swifts.

In the rear i am going to stick with 275/30. I also have a set of 305/30 but I assume that is a guanteed no go lol

Thanks!

275/30s will be almost 2% smaller in diameter, you really need to keep that variance under 1%

Fortunetly they are only on the car for a few months in the summer so I'm hoping it doesn't hurt it too much. Also I plan on getting rid of it rather soon as well.

Do you think the 255/35 in the front will be too much? That is my biggest concern. As for the rear do you think i should bump it up to a 285/30?

If you run 255/35s those 285/30s will be 1.1% smaller and since the rears wear faster this variance will increase. It is a better combo and may be ok, but over 75mph you may have your AWD light come on and your transfer case may start overheating, not sure I'd want to run that risk.

Probably rubbing on that felt fender liner, mine only did that for a little while (2-3 weeks) then wore down enough where it was no longer a problem, this was when I was running 295s. And that was about 3 years ago

^^^ Looking good Mr. Solis
Looks like you have a bit of room at the inside fender so when the time comes for fresh tires you should be able to run 255s if you want.
BTW, how much drop did you get with those Megan Springs, looks like a pretty good option for the X drivers. When you have the time could you measure how high from the ground to the upper fender arc, just to have for reference. Looks to be in the 26.5 to 26.75" range.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot Blnewt I sure will be going with the 255s next.
On the springs I'll have to check for you in the morning but I am very pleased with the height and ride quality not harsh at all

i have an 08 g37 coupe, anyone have a general minimum offsets you can run? looking for new wheels and i want to have some guidelines. I am on airlift V2 and want to run 19s, that's where i'm starting and obviously have a long way to go so anything will help.
