So now I found some 225/40/19 fronts and 275/35/19 rears. These are the only tires I could find with matching tread patterns and with max width. They are Bridgestone Tires and I hope this set up will fit well. Thanks guys

This is just my opinion, but you should find much wider tires for the front wheels. Unless you're strictly looking to drag-race, this setup is going to understeer something fierce, assuming an otherwise stock suspension setup.

A 245/35R19 would be the minimum I'd use. This would also give you a slightly lower side-wall height if you like the low-profile look. BFGoodrich makes KDW2s i n these sizes, you could also run Potenza RE050As, or several other makes.

If you're still not sure about all this, call Tire Rack! 1-888-541-1777, and they will get you set up, and at a decent price, and best of all they will send you wheels and tires mounted and balanced, ready to slap on your car.

OKIE DOKIE!! I thinks I found the mostest bestest set up yet.

255/35/19 BFG KDW2
285/35/19 BFG KDW2
All for about 1000 bucks. Do we all concur that this is the best possible ie widest and most aggressive setup I can run with 19x9.5+24 and 19x10.5+23? I just want to check again before I order from tireack.com. Thanks guys.

You can run wider but you'll need to roll or cut your fenders. You might also have to roll/cut if you bring camber under -1deg with some adjustable camber arms.

But, it should work for you. You'll have a good setup.

I'd recommned getting some adjustable rear camber arms while you're at it. You could probably fit some 295's back there if you did roll them, but it would be a tight squeeze. To be safe, 285's with camber arms adjusted out and rolled fenders will fit.

I have the option of +25 in the rear instead of +23 offset. This would be better for me wouldn't it? Thanks I might be ordering today.

2mm won't make or break anything. Go for it.

Trust me, every tiny bit helps if you've concerned with looks. 5mm will make a visible difference, not sure about 2mm.

So I should go with the +23 so it sits out more right? Someone just slap me and tell me what to go with. The +23 or +25offset for the widest look. Sorry

Borrowed from http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96933

rear is a 10.5 +22





If you're going to run an 11" rear with a +23 offset, the wheel edge not the tire the wheel edge will extend an additional 5mm more than those volks. 10.5 +22 is a pretty wide stance as it is.
