PSA: When asking "will this rub"....
Well, I'm on my 3rd set of springs now(finally happy) and ready to order tires since my suspension will be complete this week, and tirerack has $100 off Hankook tires, so I'd like to be 110% I will more than likely have no issues even though I asked something similar a few months back and have seen similar setups.
Setup-
F= 18x9.5 +15
R= 18x10.5 +15
Tires= Hankook ventus v12 evo2. Front-265/35, Rear-285/35
Rolled QP's. Trimmed front fender screw. Eibach Sportline Springs.
I'd ideally like to keep the camber around -2* F&R if possible.
Any better recommendation on tire size? Not a fan of the hellaflush scene.

Everyone is like 2009 350z wtf... The final 350z ever made right their, only available in the convertible... And yeah thay tire size is way big... Maybe in 18s it might be o.k. But not optimal... Also killed the stagger so im surprised your not having issues with slip light unless its a base model.

With Mic's advice, I have ordered 245/35r19 and 275/35r19, and they should be installed tomorrow. I plan to use spacers in the front until I can go shopping for proper wheels in a couple months.
Thanks!

Just want to hear some opinions/double check:
I have an 05 base model, on stock suspension. Looking at getting 18x9.75 +20 wheels with 255/40 tires. Square set up. Does any one foresee any rubbing issues, suggest a different tire size, and what are your opinions on how it will turn out looking & performing?

I would bump up the size to 265/40/18 or 275/35/18 if your going to run square... And I would guess performance will be great... Cant go wrong with 255/40 front 275/40 rears.
Alternatively 265/35 front and 265/40 rear would also be good.

thanks for the advice! So you don't think I'd rub even with 265/40 at all 4 corners? Any other advice anyone?

Matter of fact, that's going to extend out by about 8mm. You could run some 15mm spacers to push them out a total of some 28mm and clear recommended 245/40 and 275/40s.
Or you can buy 9.5/10.5 +15mm setup, roll the rear lips, and be close to flush with not a lot of negative effect on steering response. (In my case the 9.5 +15/10.5 +15 setup is the MOST responsive setup I've run.)
Just seeing if anybody has any idea before I measure this weekend,
How far can a wheel go inward before it contacts any suspension components? I can work with either width and offset examples, or if anybody happens to know the actual distance between the wheel pad and and suspension components.
I will be at the garage this weekend but just seeing if anyone has any ballpark idea
