Did you read this thread yet?

https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...read-here.html

In that thread there is a tire calculator that you should use:

Tell me what the diameter is between the two when you enter your exact specs above?

Just thought I'd share an experience. I placed an order for 19x9.5 & 19x11 HRE wheels. HRE came back with offsets of +32 & +34. I was than contacted by another HRE sales rep and we discussed they were too conservative. Still going back & forth I have elected to go with a +20 & +25. I will be running a 265/30 & 305/30 tire. However it was threads like these that have helped me from making a costly mistake.

Sounds quite undersized for an 11" wide wheel.

Fronts: 655 mm (25.8'')
Rear: 671 mm (26.4'') 16 mm (2.4%) taller.

I'm assuming this clears correct and that the TSC shouldn't be having much trouble?

Maintains overall diameter difference to keep TCS happy but its going to look weird with the higher rear sidewall

Default Need Help with 19" Setup

I currently run 19x8.5 front and 19.9.5 backs and I want to get a simple stretch setup where the offset of the lip of the rim will set away from the tire a bit. Any help here would be great!

Default Tire setup help!!

So I finally found the wheels I want to get for my car. The setup will be 19×8.5 ET35 19×9.5 ET22, as for the tires I have no clue what would be a good setup to have. The car is my daily driver, so no racing, drifting anything like that. So I was curious if anyone has this wheel setup and and what they have for tires or recommend I should get for tires??

These are the wheels I getting tell me what you think

For wheel-tire width see: http://www.tiresandco.ca/equivalency-tables-advice.html

Plug in the numbers here and the calculator will match OEM tire height: http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/tirecalc.html

That chart lists a MAX tire width of 275 for a 9.5" rim? Wrong.
On his rear 19X9.5s...285/35 comes to mind.

The standard 245 or 255/35 front and 275/35-19 rear combo is what you would want for those wheels.

I like the wheel design...have similar(mesh) on my Z.
The "standard" tire size for 19's is 245/35/FRONT,
275/35 REAR.Suggest Hankook V-12 tires.
I prefer more of a lip on my wheel.You may want to look
at the ACE STRADA...has a 2"lip rear,1" rear.
Same basic wheel design but the lips really look better IMO.

I run a 8.5 front 9.5 back also on my G35. The only thing is offsets are too high. The wheels aren't going to sit as flush as that pic. You would need to run a 245/35 front & 275/30 or 35 back with at least a 20mm spacer. I think the picture is a little deceiving.

Wheels are perfect size for 245/35/19 with 275/35/19. I think a 275 is ideal for a 9.5" wheel, although some put it on a 9" wheel as well.

Shameless plug: I have a set of gently-used, Bridgestone RE050A Pole Position tires in that size for sale. PM if interested. Great daily tire.

I plan on running 235/35/19 & 255/35/19 on 9.5/10.5 wheels with +12 offset. Any major problems with this?

I've seen it done here.
