Default Volk GT-M 19" question.

Hey folks,
I just got these Volk Gt-M wheels that were on a G35 coupe.
They are 19x9.5 +23 Front / 19x10.5 +21 Rear
I own a 07' 350z base model and was wondering if these offsets work for my car.
Also what would be the ideal tire specs for this kind of set up.
I have looked at the wheel fitment guide and searched around but non of this makes sense to me fully.
This is my first new car I ve ever bought and first time of me buying wheels.
please help..

here is a picture of it.

thank you.

yes they will fit

most popular size is a 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear

If it were me I would go with a 255/35/19 front and 285/35/19 rear for better traction

Yeah they ill fit no problem. Im running 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rears and they fit perfect and flush. I think if you were to go any wider on tires I dont think it would look right

It is completely unnecessary for 255 and 285 size tires on a stock Z. You won't have traction issues on a stock motor even with stock 245's in the rear. FI is another story altogether and will really depend on power levels...Save yourself some weight and go with the 245/35 and 275/35 match. It has a nicer appearance also IMO

imo, it really depends how you drive and where you are driving. If you plan to do some autocrossing, some wider tires may help. for drag racing, a wider tire in the rear is important. lastly if you are just a more agressive driver, the wider tires will help prevent over and understeer (unless you want some of that). I am not an agressive driver but there have been times where I put a little too much throttle in a turn and lost the rear end a bit and that was stock motor with 245 in the front and 275 in the rear. The z has got some serious low end torque so just imo, i would feel safer with wider tires. but that's just me

245 in front, 275 in rear. 255 would also work in the front. 285 will work fine in the rear, as long as you roll your fenders.

Call me crazy, but you may want to do this kind of research BEFORE you buy wheels next time.
