Alright guys I just got the Five AD S5 Wheels in those specs
Front 19" x 9.5 with 25 offset
Rear 19" x 10.5 with 22 offset

I really need help with tire sizes. with those wide wheels which set would be a better choice for an 07 350z with the vdc

i see most people go with
F: 245/35/19 and R: 275/35/19
would that look too stretched out or is it the perfect choice?

i think people also use
F: 255/35/19 and R: 285/35/19

I need the best setup with no vdc problems. will not track the car. running stock suspension right now. fenders are not rolled.

Please help me choose the right size. I appreciate all inputs. Thanks guys

275 is the perfect choice in the rear I believe, the sidewall on the 285/35 is too chunky IMHO... for the front I think 245 or 255, depending on how you want your sidewall to sit.

245/35/19 and 275/30/19 if you don't want to roll your fenders.

With stock suspension you don't need to worry about any rubbing issues even with the 255/285 set-up.

You'll need to consider tire brands don't always run the same widths even though that brand x and brand y have 285/35/19 sizes. I know from personal experience that 285/35 BFG KDW2 on a 10.5 width wheel was perfect. Granted the BFG tends to run wider than some other brands.

Also consider, since you're on stock suspension, 245/275 would probably accentuate the larger vender gap.

Either set-up should work with no VSD issues though.

so are you saying that the 245/275 will make the gap look bigger? is it going to be looking worse than stock wheels?

second question in your honest opinions which setup should i go with?
can someone check if the sizes are within the 3% diameter difference. I did that based on the calculator but which one is the best based on anybody's experience.

vdc is no concern. The 245/275 looks better (especially when lowered) But remember the 255/285 provide a little more protection for your wheels and more rubber always feels better.When I was faced with this decision, I chose 275 because I thought 285 looked too chunky. What do you think?

all 4 sizes you picked are fine and won't mess with the vdc.
You could even do 245/35F and 285/35R if you wanted to
or 255/35F and 275/35R

yokohama
Hankook
Falken

Cant go wrong with Falken's. I am running the Nitto Invo's and like them so far. Cut down on road noise alot from the Neo Gens.

+1 i've run both tires, and i suggest the 255/35 front with the 275 or 285 rears. Less gap and you don't want to add uny more unneeded understeer to you car.

TheOtherRob

iTrader: (14)

^ One thing I would like to add is that I believe the Invo's side walls are pretty tall. They almost look like 285's (I have 275).

so wait 255/35 and what about the profile size on the rears should I do 30 or 35? can you give me profiles for all front and rear. dont wanna get into the over 3% thing.

can you further explain on the understeer? which setup would add more to that? thanks man

Nick-VTR

255/35/19 on front
285/35/19 on back

too chunky? Don't think so.

edit: i'm on stock suspension btw.

alright I really like this setup.. did you have to roll your fenders? any vdc or traction problems? is this a correct setup for a 350z (i mean is it within the 3% diameter difference?)...

Cant make my mind anymore im so confused and the wheels just laying down in the boxes... so shud i go 245/35/19 275/35/19 or 255/35/19 285/35/19???

Nick-VTR

go 255/35/19 285/35/19

Use the tire caclulator and compare to your stock wheels if you are worried. However, it is within 3% and won't cause any issues with VDC. My wheels are 19x9 and 19x10, so the tires will look even more stretched on your wheels as they are slightly wider.

You will probably have to roll the rear fenders (even if you go 275) with 10.5 +22.

all right i guess im gonna go with the 255/35/19 285/35/19

how much do they do the fender rolling for usually? and any suggestions on tire brands for those sizes?
