Fat lip
I went through pics and fitment to see what I like but they seem to be all over the place or if I find what I like they don't post specs.... I pm'd and no response....
So here's my question I want the fatest lip available I can get away with without adding a lot of camber or rubbing.... I don't mind a little stretch on the tire I just don't want to spend alot on tires frequently..... I think I want to go with 20x9 front and 20x10 rear just not too sure on offset... (I'm not dropped yet but I am planning to but not slammed )

Hi
Anyone with a Sedan G37S on 19 inch Velgen VMB5's. Will like to know tire/wheel specs, if drop on what and issues if any. Already read a review of 20" VMB5 and the guy could'nt be happier. I will like to try to keep some comfort with 19's instead of 20.
It will be great if someone can post pics.
Thanks

(Insert whatever diameter wheel that you fancy, 19", 20")
Front:19x9.5 +35 offset
Rear: 19x10.5 +45 offset
Now if you go lower on the wheel widths the offsets can be tinkered with but it all depends on the "look" you are going for.
The Velgen VMB5s 19s only come in 19x9.0" for the fronts and 19x10.5 for the rear. Their offsets for the front are +25 and +35. Rears are +25 and +45.
The VMB5 are great looking wheels. So if you went with the VMBs in 19 you would want 19x9 +35 and 19x10 +45 would be the fitment I went with. Again though this the ideal of safe fitment you could say. If your into the stretched tire look and lots of camber you can change the fitments.

Guys I can't seem to find the offset for the OEM IPL wheels. Does anyone know the IPL offsets I am looking to widen the wheels just inside of the wheel wells and lower about 1 inch lowering in the rear and 1.25 inch in the front.

Hey all, just need a quick sanity check. Based on this thread, and many others, i think my offsets should be fine, but I've seen conflicting reports so i want to double check before pulling the trigger.
2011 xS Coupe on Eibach at stock alignment
F: 19x8.5 +25 245/40
R: 19x9.5 +35 275/35
I just want to be sure i won't be rubbing anywhere, and most certainly not poking.

Ok, so I haven't been on here in forever...but I hope I can find some help/answers.
I own a: 2008 G37s Coupe
I'm about to purchase some Rohana RC10s. Thinking of 20x10 +25F and 20x11 +20 Rear. And then get an Eibach ProKit drop or Tein HTech drop.
I don't like the 20x9 concave since it's not as concave as the 10s. But I'm going for this look. Found this pic somewhere on the forums, and didn't know who's it was.
If anyone can help me out, I'd hella appreciate it. Just trying to get all the specs rt for what I'm looking for. So if all the specs I've given is good, what size tires should I run. Not really going for hella poke or stretch on this set up.

Try posting the same post over in the hellaflush thread~that's the stance and aggressive offset that's more common there~

You'll be OK w/ that setup, could even go +30 in front. If you want a slightly bigger tire in the rear (diameter wise) you can go w/ a 235/40/19 front 275/35/19 rear, this will give you a 0.67% larger diameter in back so as your rear tires wear faster you'll eventually be equal front to back. If you go 245/275 your -0.52% will get larger as your rear tires wear faster than the front. Hope that makes sense
As far as the offset is concerned, the wheels I'm after only come in +25 and +35. If you think it would be a better look (erring on the side of tuck over poke) I could go with the +35 and 5mm spacer if need be.
I initially planned to run a 19x10 in the rear with the 285s to get the extra height, but this rim is only available in a +25 in the 10" width, and I think that's a bit aggressive.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably stick with the 245 in the front, since the sidewall is over half an inch shorter than stock on the 235.

10 +40, and 245/285 tires, they're 20s but the fit at the fenders will be essentially the same as 19s. I think the F&R fit is about what you're wanting, and running 275s in back w/ a bit less positive offset on a 1/2" narrower rim should net a similar fit. I think I'd opt for the +35 in front, especially is you're not adverse to running a small spacer. Here's the thread
https://www.myg37.com/forums/build-t...x-coupe-4.html
As far as the tires, the 235/40s are only 0.18" smaller in diameter than the 275/35s and that's the critical variance, both 245/275 and 235/275 will work alright, I was just throwing that option at you since it the variance will improve over time and the 245/275 will get worse.
