I am running a 10.5 square with a 265(all four). Tires are slightly stretched. I am planning on rolling/pukking the rear and adding a 20mm spacer to the rear. The front might need a spacers but nothing more then 10. It sticks out with an eibach drop.

Let me know what you end up doing.

I'm going to be lowered on coils. I already have rear camber arms, so I'm not sure if a pull will be necessary for me if I set the correct amount of camber will it? I won't be adding spacers up front but hopefully a 20 mm out back.

Yes I am going for a stretched look. I understand a lot of people don't like it and they're entitled to their opinion! But I like the look myself

Default square setup on staggered rims?

current setup
19x9.5 245/35/19
19x10.5 275/35/19

so my rear tires are pretty much done for and im in the market of new tires. Current im sitting on coilovers and my rear rubs a bit on a moderate fender roll. I was contemplating on getting 245/35 for the rear, but i dunno if i should run a square setup on staggered rims.

is there anything i should be concern about?

i was also thinking about getting 225/45 on the front and move the 245/35 to the rear as my front tires are practically new. but that would be too much trouble as my tech already have a problem installing my tires with my tpms installed on a deep dish rim.

You intend to put a 245 mm tire on a 10.5 inch wheel? That will look cool.

Roll your fender more or dial in more camber rather than purchasing a narrower tire.

I would never put a 225 on a 9.5" wheel, nor a 245 on a 10.5" wheel. There is a thread for those evil thoughts though.

Default 19x11 Square Setup?

Ive been looking into some wheels and i wanna get something a little different the the usually Amazing wheels ive seen on Z lately.

Avant Garde Has some Really nice sizes for price and quality.

19x11 +18 is what im thinking about but i couldn't find any good information about anyone running this size wheel up front or more aggressive.

Will it fit with the right pull, stretch ect....or is it to close to the control arm and coilovers ect?

This car seems to be doing it but no info if he did it with ease.

i tucked rim on 19x10.5 et12 up front so you should be able to fit 19x11 no problem with the right tire size/camber/roll....i was REALLY low though

I can almost guarantee you that you'll need a roll.
Definitely some camber arms.

The pictured red Z doesn't look like it's pulled all too much, except the rears.
I would expect a pull on the fronts rather than the rears.

i just messaged that guy that owns it a few days ago because i was thinking of running the same setup and he said it fit fine, he ran spacers on the rear and 255R 245F you can find the thread about those wheels a few pages back. M310s in purple is in the title. He lists the specs in there

you will completely change the drive "feel" of the car.

it will not be the same when you're done.

just a heads up. you may very well be unhappy with the results.

Offset is everything, need to know the offset of the wheels.

If you can imagine it - it has been done. Put a 255 mm tire on the front and you are good to go.
