Here's a G (Zahy Matar) that was running 19x9.5 +40 on 255/40 tires, great fit! No need for fender mods or extra camber.

I run 18x9.5 +38 on 245/285 combo and no problems either and camber is only -1.0

I recently purchased these Forgestar F14 wheels.

The front fits fine but the rear is what I would like to change.

The guy had 245/40/19 on the 10" rear wheels

I'm wanting to go 275/35/19 on the rear.

Can you tell by the pics if the 275 will cause any issues?

Alright so I have g37x coupe lowered on K-Sport coils, just bought Front: 19x8.5 +30/ Rear: 19x10.5 +45. Thinking of running 245/40/19 in the front and 275/35/19 in rear. Fitment sound good? Or other suggestions?

Should be ok, do you have a better closeup pic of that rear fender down the side, also do you happen to know your offset? If it's +40 to +45 you're fine.

That's a good tire choice for your AWD and will fit inside the fenders at in-spec camber

The wheel is +40.

Thanks for the help!

Hello,

I am looking to do the following soon. I'm pretty confident that the rear wont be a problem, however, I am uncertain about the front. My two concerns about the front are:

will they clear the brakes? I have a 13 sport
will they stick out past the fender?

20x8.5 28 with 245/35/20
20x10 40 with 275/30/20

Depends on the wheel design, that's a pretty good offset in front for clearance but can't just go by that. What wheels are you looking at?

The specs will work on your sedan, but clearance at the calipers needs to be confirmed.

Since it's a local listing maybe you can just go by and have them do a test fit up front, should only take a few minutes. They should clear but every now & then you run into a wheel w/ good offsets but the spokes are too thick or concave and you end up w/ issues. Also keep in mind you should get hub adapter rings, once you know the hub bore of the new wheels then just get rings to adapt that size down to a 66.1mm Infiniti bore. And new conical seat lug nuts should be in your cart too!

Blnewt, need your expertise please.

12 sedan sport with bbk and on air suspension currently on coupe wheels with 245/40/19 front with 15mm spacer and 275/35/19 rear.

I'm looking to pick up these cheap varrstoen l153 wheels for now to get off the coupe wheels until I can get my real wheels. Want to go to 20s (cheaper tires). Which offset would be best? Staggered or square set up doesn't matter to me although ideally I'd like a full concave look with the 20x10.5. However, I'd rather not have to pull or roll fenders or add spacers but if necessary, it's no issue.

Tires, I'm thinking 255 or 275?

You could run the 10.5 +40, check the first page here for a couple sedans (MylilG and Tbulsara) running 10.5 +35 on 275s, but you might need a small spacer in front as there might be clearance problems at the upper bend of the steering knuckle w/ the +40 offset. You could run 255/35s (vs 275/30) to give you a little more relief at the fender if your camber at running height is kept in-spec.

Help Please!

Looking for help, please.
I have a '13 XS coupe with the 19x8.5 wheels lowered on Eibach Pro springs. I just purchased new tires sized 255/35. My installer (Mr Tire) just called to say the tires are not a good fit to the wheels. I got the sizing from a post on MyG37.com that stated the following: "For running a square setup on 19x8.5s the widest tires I'd recommend would be 255s, a 255/40/19 will be about 1/3" taller or a bit over 1% different from the OEM diameter for your car. For a square setup being a bit over 1% is ok. A 255/35/19 will be about 3/4" shorter and about 2.6 % different from oem, this may be a bit much, but ??? If you decide to run a staggered combo down the road you really need to be under 1% difference from front to back."
I do not want to run a staggered setup. Are these tires okay to mount and run on the OEM 19" wheels? Should I try to exchange them for a 255/40 (might be a PITA as I got them online)?
Thoughts?

Help please

Found a good set of used forged wheels for a fair price that I'd love to put on my '12 G37X. I know they'd fit, but I want to double-check that the offset won't have a significant effect on driving/handling. I'm still relatively new when it comes to most of this, and I have a hard time understanding the effect of the change in scrub radius. Anyway, the wheels are:

The wheels are 18x8 et38, and the car is fully stock at the moment.

I know it's not a huge difference from stock. However, like I said, I'm new to this and just want to double-check it won't change the car too much, if at all.

Thanks in advance.
