Last week I just received my Volk Racing SF Challenge wheels in gold, sizes 19x9.5's for the front and 19x10.5's for the rear. Now which tire sizes should I go for:

My 1st choice would be to go for 245/35/19 for the front and 295/30/19 for the rear.

Or should I go for:
245/35/19 - 285/30/19

245/35/19 - 285/35/19

 

I'd go 285-35-19 rear

 

ditto..on the rear...what are your offsets...if they are +22 all around...do not..i repeat do not roll your rear fender before you try it out...on stock height CHEBOSTO confirmed that there is not rolling required...but we still need more proof

 

The offsets for the front are +15, and for the rear they're +23..These are the exact offsets that was on the white Vertex bodykit 350Z from the Toyko Auto Salon. It had the exact same SF Challenge wheels that I got, but in silver not gold...Before I drop the car with the wheels on the car, I do have to roll in my fenders.

 

wait..im confused...i mean...i understand your dropping the car...but are you saying that it was necessary to roll even without the drop??

 

No, I wouldn't need to roll in my rear fenders if I stay at stock height. But I am dropping the car in which I will need to roll in my rear fenders after doing so...I hope you understood me now.

 

hah..i do..and i just looked at the vertex car....sweet man..sweet...what color is your car btw??

i think gold looks best on red black blue or white..i hope you dont have silver

 

I got my new 04' Z in Pike Peak White...I think that the white on the gold wheels will look so freakin hot. I wish I could have gotta the tires before Hot Import Nights season finale which is tomorrow night down here in Miami, FL. But oh well...

 

yeh..white is nice...post pics when you get them mounted

 

The Correct size, IMO, would be 275/35. Anything else would be overkill.

For sure..will do..I'll post up pics once I get the rims on the car...

 

I would put a wider wheel on the front as well either a 255/35/19 or 265/35/19. That 245 will not be wide enough for the 285 or 295 rear in my opinion. It will still work but you may get more understeer with that setup.

 

I CALLED GABRIEL @WHEELSTUDIO,AND HE RECOMMENDS
255/3519-295/30R19

 

I'm sure you have the Hyper Rev book.
It says 245/35-19 fronts and 275/30-19 rears for
the size wheels you got on the Vertex car.
But who knows for sure....
Good luck with them! Most other companies did the same
thing even with different offsets it seems....Wonder why
they didn't go 275/30-19 though...

 

I personally am going with 255/35/19 front and 295/35/19 for the rear. The 295/30 looks like a rubberband to me. Problem is, the only 295/35 out there is Michelin pilot sports (what Ihave) and continentals.

 

I have the Volk 19x9.5 +19 fronts and 19x10.5 +17 rears, do i have to roll my fenders if i stay at stock height??. Do the Bridgestone SO3's come in 295?

 

nope on the s03s...pilot sports, in the 35, dunlop and yokos in the 30. AS for rolling, I did not roll my fenders. I have no drop. Only ime I rub is torqueing the car hard if I take the driveway wrong. If the car is lowered, the negative camber will allow for no fender roll as well.

The pilot sport (NOT A/S) have the same performance characteristics as the S03, just pricier. If it matters, Doug at Crawford was not too happy on the track with the S03s. He said they got greasy fast. Also, his shop guys were telling me after the track events they pulled CHUNKS of the tires off the car. He said that was probably due to large grooves in the tread design.

 

I have SSR's commng 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rears,and I plan to go with either Yoko' AVS or Toyo TS1's both about the same price. Much lower than Pilot Sports. Diameter's are close to original

 

in 18s sure, but not in 19s Toyo only makes the 275 in 19.
