Default 10.5 +12 all around

hey guys,

I tried searching, but couldn't find these specific specs...sorry in advance if its been brought up....

im in the market for some wheels this summer but want to drop the car in the meantime. If I wanted to go TE37 19x10.5 +12 all around with 245/35 and 275/35 dropped on Tanabe GF210s....will I need front camber arms as well? Also will I need to roll fenders?

Does anybody have this setup? Thanks guys..... i really want to get on the VOLK OWNERS ONLY thread...

what is it you're trying to accomplish by running 10.5" up front?
have you seen +12s in person?

i was just looking at this guys set up.....
https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...s-in-here.html

so 9.5s up front obviously run fine.....i was just wondering if I can go 10.5 all around just to see if I can.....not really trying to accomplish anything. I can't say that I have seen 12s in person...which is why i was just curious.

9.5 +12 will fit better and match the 10.5+12 rear better.

10.5+12 all around will poke more in the front compared to the rear.

depends on how low your tryin to go, if you need front arms or not....

i would say yes....its better to do it while lowering it, than to go back and re-do it later on.

go with the 9.5+12, the 245 on a 10.5 wheel will look stupid in addition to the other issues people commented on...sorry stretch lovers.

I would also suggest going with a 255/35 and a 285/35 combo for tires with the 9.5/10.5 setup as well.

go with stretch. the whole "stretch looks stupid" is not like trying to teach someone 2+2=4 so get over yourselves
purely amatter of opinion.

the tire size is a personal and setup based preference.

imo on s-techs and stock struts - 245F/285R 35...

just thought I'd mention those questions. my front 9.5" +12 is at +2 now
and it's way to far out for a 245/35. with a 10.5"+12 i'd look outright dumb.

so basically its a matter of preference....looks like virtually anything can fit if you get the right parts! I do like the stretched look to a certain point and for me, wider is better. I may have to go to a meet and check out some setups in real life. THanks for all the info guys
