It just looks scary at the moment because it looks like your car is only lowered on springs or your coils are set very high so your natural camber is not enough to make the wheels tuck in more.

Once you get tires on those bad boys and set it down a tad more (like the picture you sent them), then it will be on point. Just make sure you get the right tire sizes which are:

245-35-19(rear) 225-35-19 (front)

trust the people on this board when it comes to fitment, people on here have pushed the limits of fitment and i'll tell you now your specs are nothing to be scared about!
^ This guy and advanz33 knows wheels.

Like posted before op, yours look fairly tame. I have similarly specd wheels 19x11 +6 275/35 rears with a very mild roll and no issues.

they sold you **** if you really wanted the same fitment as the red Z. imo those look like VOLK RE30 (correct me if i'm wrong) and from this angle they look like the 19x10 +22 and the rears should be 19x11 + 25.



imo they don't know what they are doing you would expect a set of 5k wheels to "fit" the way you wanted...research!

but to answer your question yes you can make them fit, with strechted tires and rolled fenders (prob. some camber adjustment).

FYI this is the best tool online to verify the fitment of wheels!!!

4 Luxury Abstract Jungo Wheels:
19 X 9.5 -5 offset (Front) & 19 X 11 0 offset (Rear) with the brush face, polished windows & lips.
Polished with black logo center caps




Same fitment, with camber stretched tires and hella low.

P.S. I know your feeling really anxious and scared because it looks crazy but after you do what is stated above you will have an extremely big smile on your face lol.

HAPPY MODDING! and that looks like a great way to start of your new year!
Far from the right size tire, 225/40-19 front and 245/40-19 rear would be proper if you were looking for a lot of stretch . The combo with 35 series above is an inch shorter than stock and looks small/silly.

With the right roll and some camber a nice 245/35-19 front and 265/35-19 rear may be possible. Really I would send them back for better specs.

Luxury Abstract, target market is the VIP/Stance/Hellaflush uber stretched and slammed crowd. None of those guys run proper or ideal tire sizes.

That is why I was confused if he wanted fat tires or not. The pics he provided was not slammed by any means. Oh well, at the same time I would do more research before spending 5,000 but what do I know.

Thanks to everyone's input, advice and opinions. Honestly I was expecting to have to wear a flamesuit to post a question on this board, but it's been pretty cool to get grown-up type responses. Kudos to the my350z crowd!

Anyways, you have all been a lot of help and I spoke with a local install shop, they came to look at it and they think they can make it work. I'll update the post later with results, or the next hiccup.

Thanks to everyone who gave advice about this project. I think I overreacted a little because now that we are trying tire sizes things are looking much better.


Right now it has 235/35/19 front tires and 255/35/19 rears. Both stretched a little and I think the height looks good on them.

Next step is to obviously adjust the suspension to make it sit and look right.

It might be time to upgrade to a wide body kit. Hit me up if you ever want me to help you out.

So, this has been a long time project, but with some help from some experienced suspension techs we were able to get everything squared away. The rear fenders were rolled, and we had to roll and pull the fronts. After all was said and done the wheels now clear the fenders and it doesn't look like it's doing the "super camber splits" going down the road.

I should be able to slam the car and still clear everything, so we'll be swapping out the coilovers for an airbag system soon to do just that.

Here are the almost finished pictures!
