These are the wheels I getting tell me what you think
The ones pictured are 19x9.5/19x11s with 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 tires.

Default 19 x 9.5 +20

I have been searching for some time now and can't seem to find the awnser.
Can you run 19 x 9.5 +20 in the front with out fender modification?
I have taken my front wheel off and made a fixture to see how far they would come out and it looks like it could rub. I want a flush look. Any help would be great!

Thanks for the links. I know they will be beefy but is that a yes they will rub? Everyone I see that runs 9.5" in the front runs +22 offsets. I know it's only 2mm but it could make a difference in suspension and fenders?

At least run a 10mm spacer on the back, you will probably want a 255/35-19 front tire and 275/35-19 rear.

I really wish they made better offsets for the rear wheels I am looking at. I was going to wait until I got the wheels to decide on how big of a spacer I would need.

What wheels? Most quality wheels are offered in better sizes.

Tires will make or break your set up, I'm running 19x9.5 +12 on a 245-35-19 w/o any fender mods.

Fit like a glove. 245/255 tire for front is super.

Merged with where you should have searched in the first place

There are plenty of examples here

Getting ready to order up new tires but I need your expert opinions.

Current setup: 255/35/19 on 19x9.5 +17 net offset front, 285/35/19 on 19x10.5 +17 net offset rear.

Goals for new setup: Space wheels out farther (maybe +7 net offset front and rear) and go with skinnier tires, possibly more negative camber as needed. Rear fenders are rolled.

I'm pretty set on 275/35/19 for the rears. The question is the fronts; I'm torn between 245/35 and 255/35. I would like the front and rear tires to have about the same amount of stretch (even though these aren't stretched that much). Doing some math:

Rear: "Stretch Ratio" (tire to wheel) = 275/ (25.4*10.5) = 1.031
Front: "Stretch Ratio" (tire to wheel, 255) = 255/ (25.4*9.5) = 1.056
Front: "Stretch Ratio" (tire to wheels, 245) = 245/ (25.4*9.5) = 1.015

So the 255 fronts will look a bit less stretched than 275 rears, and 245 fronts will look a bit more stretched than 275 rears. Aesthetically I'm not sure if I could even discern the difference. The 245 is theoretically 0.137" shorter on the radius than the 255 (both 35 series sidewall), so the car will be that much lower to the ground assuming I keep my front coilovers at the same height. But, the 245 width will give me more room to push the front wheels outward before running into fender interference issues. Meanwhile the engineers at Nissan sell the car with 225 fronts and 245 rears, i.e. 20mm tread width difference front to back. If there's any merit to that logic, it seems like 255 front and 275 rear is optimal in this case.

So there are pros and cons either way. What would you all do?

Different stretch front and rear bugs the **** outta me! Ive done all that number crunching myself, and our typical 9.5/10.5 stagger sizing doesnt lend itself to evenly stretched tires. I know you want to go narrow, but honestly I really like 265/285 for the fact that it looks consistent front to back.

If youre concerned about the tire stagger Nissan engineers intended, keep in mind the vdc and abs systems all run off the height difference, not width. You could run an even wider spread 265 & 295/30 stagger and maintain the OEM f/r height difference.

255/275 would be my vote. 245 front is too stretched IMO.

Why? Stock is 225 up front and 235 or 245 out back. Unless your building a lame *** bouncing lowrider, never install tire that are narrower than stock.
