Default 10" width up front

any disadvantages to running 10" width wheels up front?

btw, i was planning to go with 19X10 +19 (F) and 19X11 +24 (R).

I see that you have a G35 coupe, like myself. Do you have a wide body kit? I wouldn't recommend wider than 9.5" for the front wheel with the stock fenders. I think wider than that might have rubbing issues.

I'm waiting for my iForged wheels, which should be here any day now. I got 19 x 9.5" for the fronts and 19 x 11" for the rears. I don't know what the offsets are. Intense Motorsports told iForged I wanted clearance for 14" front & rear Stoptech BBK. For tires, I will be running 255/35 front & 305/30 rear Michelin PS2's. You will need to roll your rear fenders to run 11" wide rears with that tire size too.

^ no, i don't have a widebody and regarding clearance, the outer edge of the rim would be the same as a 9.5 +13, so i don't think i'll rub...

i guess my question is any disadvantages in regards to handling...

10 will clear front with +22 offset on an 18 '' wheel. Ive seen it done. (work XD9s)
I wish I had gotten 9.5's all around because of the fact that I like to run square tire setups, and i could rotate my tires. My next set of wheels will be that.

This question looks familiar.

So are you still planning on running 245's & 275's on 10" & 11" wheels?

anyways, i was planning to run 255/35 and 275/35 cuz i AM going for that semi-stretched look.

so my question is: how is my handling gonna be affected?

I've test fitted 18x10 in the front and clearance was too close for my tastes.. My pinky could barely fit between the Aarm and the wheel.
