Default 19x9.5 on all 4 or 19x9.5 and 19x11?

So I'm getting some wheels for the 05 G35 coupe - Aodhan Ds05s , silver in 19".

My question is, can I fit an 11 inch rim on the back if I roll the fenders, and what offset do I need to get for front and rear? Car is stock height , will be lowered after the wheels most likely Tein S techs. Tire size is dependent on what works I guess, probably 295 on the 11 inch rear, 255 on the 9.5?

I would like to do 19x9.5 front, 19x11 rear but if it wont work then 9.5 all around and stagger the tires I guess.

Need to make sure I get the offsets and everything right, and if I need spacers ect before I buy them.

I ask this in all seriousness and not sarcastically (so take it the right way):

Do you care about performance and acceleration of the car?

Can I convince you to drop down to 18" wheels? If you go from an 18x9 wheel to a 19x11 you will feel a loss in acceleration and performance.

With that being said, I am lowered an inch or so and I can run 18"x10.5" with a +15mm offset but you will likely need to roll your fenders and/or adjust your ride height.

But like I said, if your ego will allow you to go with an 18" wheel your butt-dyno will be happier.

Well it has nothing to do with ego, I dont care what the numbers are, I just think the 18s are too small. But I havent seen them in person. 20s are too big, 19s just right in most wheels on these cars.

I mean, the factory wheels are 18s and 19s in the premium package.

I hear ya ... I ran OEM 18s, 18" front / 19" rear, and 20" all around, and back to 18" light-weight wheels. When I really started getting into optimizing performance from my car having larger wheels were cancerous to performance and it was noticeably faster when I went back to 18" wheels.

if touring is considered premium, my 03 touring came with 18" all around - but other packages, yes, have 19" as an option.

I'm thinking of just doing 19x9.5 all around with 245/40/19 front, 275/35/19 rear...

Not bad 🙂👍

So as for calculating what offset I need, since I'm doing a common setup is it going to be the same as what yours and others has been or am I going to have to measure everything?
