Hey guys. I saw a set of Ray Engineering Gram Lights 57getter rims. the fronts are 19x9.5 +25 rears and 19x10.5 +25 rears. Will this work on my Z. They did a test on the fronts and it stuck out the fenders. Installer said once I lowered the car, the wheels should tuck in. Right now they installed 245/40/19 on the front wheel and it looked stretched. Would going with a wider tire such as 255/40/19 take the stretch look away? Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Front are the exact same width rim and tire that factory uses. If you think that's "stretched", i dunno what to tell you.

Folks run 19x9.5 +22 all the time in front, its a conservative as hell fitment and won't be any problem. Wheels camber as the suspension settles. You can go up to a 255 wheel, i don't see any "need" to unless the "stretch" causes you to start sneezing uncontrollably.

This aversion to "stretch" is absurd, particularly here. Its the same fuc.king fitment as stock wheels.

The rears are sunk as hell.

Why do folks even buy sports cars? Sell your car and buy a civic si or something, jeez

ET25's in those widths are for lowered 350Z/G35C..

Thats a pretty conservative fitment. A lot of people run the same specs.

1" staggered wheels are usually 10-13mm difference (example 19x9.5+25/19x10.5+12)
this will vary pending your camber setting's

Your front spacing is 4.25" on a 9.5+25 & your camber is probably stock @ -0.5 to -1.0,,,lowered will lean wheel inward more -1.5*,-2.0*....got to get adjustable upper control arms to dial it in.
Here's mine with stock -0.8* front camber on a 19x10+38,,,4" of front spacing- measured from mounting face out to wheel lip.
