FYI... my fenders on my G were never rolled, even on the JIC coil-overs (heavy drop) with the 18" Nismo 315/30 and the 285/30 and also with the Volk SF Challenger 19x9.5 with 275/35/19 and 19x10.5 with 305/30/19. NOT a bit of rubbing or clearance problem whatsoever, and with NO modifications other than the 2"+ drop with the coilovers.

the nismo 10.5in wheels only come in +15mm offset. That'd be about 15-20mm too much and would stick out

Not to mention you can only get them from Japan. The 9.5's with 315's is an AWESOME set-up IMO.

I think I'm gonna try the SSR Comp-H wheels, 9.5 +31 with 275's up front and 10.5 +43 with 315 DR's in the rear. Anyone want to buy some brand new 19" gunmetal Volk GT-V's with Michelin PS2's?

My Z must be an anomoly, becuase I was rubbing with just 285/35/19's with a 24 offset and 2inch drop. I rolled the fenders and now it doesnt rub at all.

I am just about to pull the trigger on ANOTHER set of very expensive PS2's, and I am super-tempted to order the 305/30/19's for my new set of Volks (22 offet). This would be a really expensive mistake to make. The PS2 is the best street tire I have ever used, but damn..they are expensive.

After I get my car back, I'm gonna put on my 10.5 +24 with 295's, and if there's enough, I may widen the rear rims an inch and throw on some 315 PS2's

Those are almost 500 bucks a pop on tirerack.com though!

I want to do the same thing. I hope they fit. How much are you getting those for? I checked and they were about 400+ a tire! And im gonna put them on a 9.5 22 offset. I see myself having to roll my fenders and hope they dont rub.

I believe Tire rack was 427 or something for 295's and like 470 something for 305's. Im pretty happy with RE050A's and might just go with those but we'll see.

I don't think they make PS2's in 305, at least I couldn't find them anywhere.
