Same question for 20?
Thanks

Rims won't matter as far as needing a camber kit. Only if you lower your suspension will you need the kits. I recommend the full F&R kit when you lower your G, it costs about $500 but if you plan on keeping your G for a couple years or more the amount you save in worn tires will pay for the kit.
If you need offset help w/ the wheels just say so

About to put on four 19x8.5 +43 (aka coupe front) wheels on my 2012 G37X sedan.
Everyone says to put 245/40/19 but I hate to have the smaller than stock rolling diameter.
What is everyones thoughts on 255/40/19 all around?
Will it rub? throw off VDC?

Your stock tires should be 225/55/17, rolling diameter w/ 245/40/19 is identical to those tires diameters. You can run the 255s but the 245s are ideal.

I have the sport package so they are 225/50/18.
Difference is about .5%.
I guess I could just save the money and get 245/40s instead of 255/40s.

Same question remains though, out of curiosity, will it rub?

Either one of those sizes will be a bit off, the 245s about .5% smaller the 255s about .5% larger give or take so either size will work fine, and no rubbing either

Thanks blnewt!

I just havent seen anyone really run 255/40s so I was curious as to why they seemed so...rare.

Hi to all people here.

I want to find fat wheels setup for my '08 G37S Coupe:

- I want 18"-19"
- I don't want stretch
- I want flush
- I don't want to rub
- The wheels must fit akebono brakes without spacers
- I don't want camber arms
Something like this (but don't know wheels/tires specs on this photo):



Any thoughts about max wide and offset for these demands?

2013 G37 Journey Sedan. The wheels I was looking at only come in a +35 offset for both the front and the rear. The wheel size I was looking at were

19x8.5 +35 245/40/19
19x9.5 +35 275/35/19

The tires were General G-MAX AS -03.I live in TN so those were suggested.I really was told +40 in the rear would be better so not sure I should get them or look at another. Those will be tucked in further correct? I dont plan on dropping the car. So any opions of those? The wheels are Advanti Bello on a Liquid Platinum car.

A 8.5 +25 to +30 front w/ 245s
A 10" rear +35 w/ 285s
As far as clearing the Akebonos, that's all up to the wheel design.

Fronts will be OK but the rears will poke a bit if you're not lowered, I'd shoot for at least a +40 and +45 would be best at stock height.
Do you have much freezing weather & snow? If it's just a few days a year I'd look into summer tires, especially if you have another vehicle you can drive when it gets really cold & crappy outside.

Its really a crap shoot with the weather. I do have another car and feel it would be safer for the wife to drive the SRX either way. She drives to KY sometimes and who knows the weather. Im trying to keep my stock rims extra but its a matter of having the extra room in the garage.

Well I found some Advanti Bello I liked and they suggested on had them in a

19x8.5 +30
19x9.5 +45

Any opinion on the wheels?

They've been around awhile, a few on the site have their Anniversary wheel and have been happy w/ them. Those offset above would be just about right although the fronts in a +35 would be a bit better.
Might look into Niche wheels too

I ended up getting some Avant Garde M368.

Gonna drop my '13 G37 sedan on Eibach Pro springs.
Currently have the stock 17s on and looking for spacer sizes(front and back) until I find the tire and wheel combo I want. Any idea what size spaces will make the sedan ride flush?
Stock 17s alone on a lowering springs will just look ridiculous.
