Question Japan Racing JR11

Hello, hopefully someone in this forum can help me. I would like to buy a set jr11 wheels for my 2007 350z roadster. I have tried every JR dealer in Denmark and they simply don't know which size to choose, and I can't find any information online.
My car is currently fitted with stock wheels and springs. I expect to lower the car around 25mm. I have read, that it can be a problem to clear the brembo front calipers in front and that I might need spacers.
I would like 19x8,5 (235/35-R19) in the front and 19x9,5 (255/35-R19) in the rear, without rolling fenders. Has anyone any experience with these wheels?
What ET value and tyre size will you recommend?

Best Regards Simon, Denmark..

Go with:

Front: 19x9.5 +20 (+5mm depending on availability) with 255/35-19
Rear: 19x10.5 +20 (+5mm depending on availability) with 275/35-19

Or 8.5/9.5 per your message but just saying that the above will fit and will give you more actual performance gain, the real reason to buy aftermarket wheels and tires.

You'll be fine (generally no fender mods with these sizes if you keep the offsets above +20).

S'far as brake clearances, that will depend on which type of wheel you go with. The more convex (or concave, depending on which direction you're viewing it) the face, the less issues you'll have with face clearance on your Brembos. Same applies to the barrel of the wheel. Two step barrels may give some clearance issue but I really doubt that will even be a problem since you're going to a 19" wheel (larger inner barrel diameter).

As for buying them, contact them and/or look at their dealer list: https://jr-wheels.com/wheels

By the way, their line of wheels looks almost identical to ESR wheels, another rep manufacturer with both cast and a few roll forged wheels. Mentioned to give you additional choices.
