Brand new Work VS-XX

How do you guys think this will look on a 2011 g37s coupe, currently trying to get the tire sizes but I am looking for a more fat tire set up, but still be aggressive.

Great looking wheel, just need to be sure of offsets and disc sizing as it can be tricky clearing those big brake calipers on your S model.

Alright so this is a 2013 g37 coupe 2wd. Lowered on tien H-tech springs. I love how the Niche M129 Targa wheels look. I've looked on this forum and have seen some with 20" 8.5 front and 10 rear, but didn't post their offset. I want to go with 19's but not sure what to go with.

There are some for sale that are 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rear +25 offset for front and rear.

And another set that are 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear +35 offset for front and rear.

Or could I go 19x9.5 all around with +35 offset all around, or 19x10 + 25 all around, but that might be too aggressive/not fit/rub?

I want a flush fitment.

Probably with put 245/35 front and 275/30 rear.

*Also this is the non sport package, so no big brakes if that matters.*

Here's a link that will show you how 19x10 +25s on a 275 rear tire will fit in back, should be flush but should tuck
https://www.myg37.com/forums/private...25-offset.html
The front 8.5 +25 will be fine on a 245/40

In that picture looks like the tire is going out a bit, and it doesn't look too lowered? Im currently 18" with 225/50 front and 235/45 rear, but it looks very tucked in, will bigger wheels raise this a bit, I just want to be sure it will fit.

Also you say a 245/40 in front, would a 245/35 not work? and a 275/30 rear. or would i need a smaller tire in the front? Or should I do 245/40 - 275/35?

Shoot me a PM w/ a pic of your vehicle in it's current state if you're not in a big hurry for the wheels. Those 10" +25 will be a flush fit, but at stock height you'll have some poke.
You can run the 245/35 275/30 but your speedometer will be off and your ride will be even harsher.
Let me see if I can get some better pics tomorrow of other 10" +25 sets as it's hard to tell the exact amount of poke or flushness at the angles of those pics.

Those new shoes look gorgeous! Well done

As far as PSI, 35 is a good pressure IME.

Need more pics sir.

Greetings! First time poster here.

Apologies if this questions has been asked roughly 5,000 times (I searched, I promise), but I'm looking to upgrade to a 19-inch wheel with as little complexity as possible.

My car is a 2010 Anniversary Edition sedan (XS) with 18's. It looks like a 19" with a 35mm offset should fit just dandy, but I'm not totally sure. Can anyone make a recommendation for a nice, straightforward swap? Not looking to do spacers, roll fenders, etc.

Thanks!

19x8.5 +35 or 19x9 +40 will fit well w/ a 245/40/19 tire.

the assumption is that the calculator only accounts for stock ride height to determine inner clearance... is this correct..
if so.. is there a correction table listing values to factor in after calculating stock clearance..
so for example.. if the calc determines inner clearance of 10mm.. a correction factor is needed since you are dropped an inch with eibachs increasing that inner clearance from stock ride height..
this is without considering camber adjustment..

Without doing any camber adjustment the wheels will tuck about 5mm for every inch you drop give or take.

Has anyone run 275/30-20 up fronts on a Xs Sedan? I wanted to know if they will rub, or if I will have any problems from turning the steering wheel lock to lock. My car is lowered on swifts. The rim specs are 20x9 +25. Thanks!

Question RAYS Gram Lights or Enkei Raijin Fitments

Hi all!

Going to join the G37 family soon; just waiting on the right time on the various options I have in my area. Coming from a 2004 Mazda 3s, so AWD is a must at this point. So as my sig says, I'll be rolling around in a G37xS sooner rather than later!

I've done a decent amount of work on my Mazda 3, and I'm looking to replicate that on the G37xS. I'm looking at the following wheel options that look like they'll fit with a squared setup from the research I've done and what I've found:
  • RAYS Gram Lights 57XTREME:
    • Sunlight Silver
      • Size: 18x8.5, Offset: 42mm, Bolt: 5x114.3
    • Matte Graphite
      • Size: 18x7.5, Offset: 40mm, Bolt: 5x114.3
      • Size: 18x8.5, Offset: 33mm, Bolt: 5x114.3
      • Size: 19x8.5, Offset: 45mm, Bolt: 5x114.3
I'd rather stick with as close as stock as possible in terms of size & offset; however, I know that might not be the case for some options. Any opinions on what would be best fit from what I listed above? Also, I assume a 245/45-18 would work on the 18x8.5 wheels, 225/50-18 on the 18x7.5 wheels? What about the 19x8.5 wheels; would it be 245/45-19?

As for the Enkei Raijin wheels, I'll call them my backups. I sized them out on Tire Rack and was given the following:
  • Enkei Raijin Gunmetal (Tuning Series):
    • Size:18x8, Offset: 45mm, Bolt: 5x114, Tire: 225/50-18
I'd figure I'd run into little issues with those, but my main questions are on the RAYS Gram Lights above.

Oh and of course, to complicate things, I'm looking at KSport Kontrol Pro coilovers with a very mild drop; however, I wouldn't want to get into that until I know what size wheels I'll be getting.

Thanks for the help in advance!
