G37 Journey coupe lowered on eibachs. Thinking of running 20x10 in the front and 20x10.5 in the rear. Can this be done without modifying my fenders? Also would it limit my turn radius? Trying to go with the concaved look in both the front and the rear. Also what offset would you recommend?

Not really any cons between 245/275 vs 255/285, but the latter will be a tad wider and might get close to the fenders.

I'm looking at Work Emotion D9Rs in 18x8.5 +32, 18x9.5 +23 or +38 in a square set up with either 245/45 or 255/40 for my 2009 G37 Sedan with Akebonos. The calculator shows them to poke a bit so which will be the best for flush fitment? Thanks

Here's some 18x9.5 +38s on 255s, I'd run 245/45 though for 5mm more room
Great fit IMO
To 18s back i go! - G35Driver

Would the size of the dish make a difference in clearing brakes? 8.5 wide had a 54mm dish and 9.5 with 65mm

If the dish (or lip) extends out 11mm it should have 2mm more room at the caliper since the 9.5 is 13mm wider to the outside (and 13mm wider to the inside, lol). Best to confirm w/ vendor on those type wheels though.

Sorry to keep asking you more stuff... would the 275 stick out a lot? Like a bulge?

If you're talking about mounting on a 9.5" rim, no, the sidewall will be pretty natural. On a 9" rim it's a bit pinched though (slightly bulged).
The main thing about a pinched mount is it can cause the sidewalls to roll under heavy cornering. A 275 on a 9.5 isn't pinched though

Alright my G gurus, I have been beating myself up about this for a week now. I know a guy selling a set of rims and tires that I would absolutely love to have. They are 19x9 +20 255/35/19 front and 19x10.5 +25 295/30/19 rear. I am rolling in a 2012 coupe (IPL) and installing some KW V3's with front and rear Eibach camber kits in a couple weeks and would like to have these for the set up. Can I make this work without too much of a headache or should I just abandon the thought all together? Thanks in advance peeps

Everything but the 295s will work, a 275 back there will fit as per this post

Thanks blnewt for your speedy response. I would like your reply but I am on my phone so I can't until I get home later today. Do you happen to know if I could get away with trimming the rear or will it just not work all together? I dont want to have to buy a new set of tires for these if I dont have to. If thats the case then I will just find something else but these are a good deal and I don't want to have to let them go

The pic of those 275s on the 10.5 +25 is pretty snug, I seriously doubt another 10mm outward w/ those 295s would fit without running heavy camber at the minimum.

I found some interesting fitment wheels, and wanted to know how they would work on my sedan.

19x9.5 et33 square setup
I was thinking of pairing it with 255/35/19s all around

This is for a sedan
I'm currently running very modest camber (-.2 up front, -1.1 in the rear), so I'd need to get it realigned for more aggressive camber, but from the calculators I've found online, it seems like this would fit fine with more camber.

Thoughts?

Check Soundmikes' fit here~ he's running 9.5+38 on 255s, if you ran 245/40s all around you'd get the same fit at the fender~
To 18s back i go! - G35Driver
If you ran 255s instead you'd be 5mm out from those so you would need some camber help.

Thanks, but it looks like the bandwidth on those pics has been exceeded... I guess I'll try tomorrow.
