Default Wheels and tire setup help, think this'll work?!

Ordering new wheels. 19x9.5 +25 front and 19x19x10.5 +22 rear. I was told 265's on the front and 275's on the back should be okay.
What do you guys think ? Could I go wider on the rear? And I haven't rolled fenders, nor am I on coils. Still stock ride height. 07' enthusiast. I want to order them soon. Aspect size, if this setup works, 35 should go ?
Going with Five AD s5f gunmetals


I'm new to tires and wheels. All I know of them is they roll. This is all.

That will be fine. You want 35 series tires.

Also, depending upon the tire, a 265/35-19" can be near the height of a 275/35-19". You might want to consider a 255/35-19" for the front when running 275/35-19" on the rear.

And... Yes you can go wider in the rear and the front.

Cool. I can roll a fender I just didn't exactly wanna. What do you think would flush it up nice and pretty ? I want some meat on the backs too. If you think I could go wider with those wheels what size tire you think would fit in the +22's without rubbing?

I really appreciate the fast reply man.

The question should be: will this wheel/tire combo work well? Since the OP knows nothing about them (except that they "roll"), it's worth mentioning this combo will probably make his Z perform worse. By increasing unspring weight with wider and heavier 19" rims and tires, both acceleration and fuel mileage will suffer. Depending on what tires are selected and whether his used shocks are up to it, cornering and braking will also be degraded.

Everybody assumes going bigger and wider is better, But it's far from the truth...

^^ You see many 285 and 295 tires here. You won't rub or need to roll fenders at stock height. If you want to get flush, you probably need coilovers and additional suspension components.

Well I just want them to look good is all. And as far as the other guy, the wheels are almost the exact same weight as stock.

In your best knowledge what would you say would fit and work best with the fronts and backs given the offsets and specs of the wheels and the car riding at stock height still ?

^^ I would look around the forum to get examples of different tire sizes. Remember that a 275mm from one manufacturer might be the same size as a 285mm from a different company. Check the specifications for actual measurements.

Your wheel selection size and offset is excellent.

You will be fine.

I ran 19x9.5 and 10.5 +0 on stock height with 255/35 F & 275/35 R and they cleared. THAT is aggressive(for stock height)

I also had Volk GTS 19x9.5 and 10.5 +17/18 respectively with 255/35 F & 275/35 R and I was lowered on Tanabe GF210s (1" and 1.75 with spring mount mod)


This is my car on 18x10.5 +15 square with 15 mm spacer in the rear (+0 corrected offset in the rear) now and there is plenty of room even on coilovers.

Your setup will be MODERATELY aggressive, but not pushing the limit especially at stock height.

Thanks man, I appreciate the input. I ordered the fronts already. Looking around for some decent tires to fit them now. Sexy Z btw,

Think a 285 on the rear would work ? I don't want to stretch a tire and I think a 275 will stretch on a 10.5 alittle

Depends on the brand of tire, not all 275's are the same width.
