I just bought a set of used 19" work vs xx wheels for my 03 g35 coupe. The guy I bought them from had almost no information on the wheel specs as they were off a car he bought and he did not seem very knowledgeable. I've been doing a bunch of reading as I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to all of this but I believe the specs are

Front: 19x8.5 E+40
Rear: 19x9 E+42

And I'm wondering what size tires would be good/ideal with cost in mind for the fitment as I'm a bit confused with what to go with. I have some pics I've attached if these are of any use. Forgot to mention the car is at stock height and the guy sold the wheels with four 114.3 5 bolt spacers

Thanks

 

Tires.... 245/35-19 Front and 275/35-19 Rear

What size are the spacers (width)? Depending on how you like the wheels to fit, you will need to run AT LEAST 20mm spacers for them to look decent; but not much more otherwise you run the risk of taking out steering feel due to scrub radius issues.

But never mind the techno jargon, suffice that those Honda-size wheels should not be run without spacers on a Z, offset is way too high and the wheels/tires will look like an infant in a full size tub....sunken in and "small".

 

Thanks for the response, I have the wheels and spacers at work right now so I'll measure the spacers tomorrow however I do believe they are actually 20mm spacers

 

G35 coupe can take more aggressive fitment than 350Z AFAIK

I like offsets of +12 F & +10 R on 350Z

that said at least single digit on G35 coupe so i would want + 0 F & R and those offset you have are too high and 5 x 120 not 5 x 114.3

anyways even with 25 mm spacers your looking like sucked in

19" VSXX + 12 & + 10

 

Uhhhh, did I take a wrong turn and end up in the BMW forum somehow?

EDIT: Ooooops, just saw why you said that... ooops. Maybe those "spacers" are 5x120 == > 5x114.3 *adapters*....one hopes.

 

I have g35 coupe as well, 19x8.5F+27 & 9.5R+24 & went with tires sizes mentioned above cuz I am not a fan of stretch tires. Had to use 20mmF and 15mmR to get the flushness I want.

Had a $100 rebate at the time for a set of Hankook evo2 so great deal!

 

Sell those wheels and get wheels that are correct offset(+12-22, stock is +30f +33r) and 5x114.3. If you have to use adapters then you don't want spacers with the adapters. That sounds like a recipe for disaster. Next time, if you're not sure, come here and ask before you buy wheels you know nothing about.

 

LOLZ

 

Don't forget the 5x120

 

Wellllllll, those 40+ offsets need a big spacer, right? Bolt pattern adapters are usually 25mm thick so if they ARE *adapters*, it could still work.

Why, no, I wouldn't do it; but the way I look at it, if one has to use them to fit those wheels, the 25mm taken off the offset of those wheels make them +15 and +17, so what the hey.

 

Mic, you're such a ray of sunshine. It's good we have you to keep a positive spin on things.

 

Awww shucks, izz only cuz I's only a half full kinda guy. Why, just last night at a friend's party, "Gee, Cy, only half full?? C'mon, man, fill me up! Don't be so stingy with the Calumet!"
