Thanks for the advice man! Correction im getting 19x9.5 +25 lol so am I good with 275's?

A 275/30 over a 275/35 will get you more clearance. It'll drop you below spec of the original oem size but with a shorter sidewall it'll give you more clearance too. Still meets the load rating. But its your call. I would go 275/30 just for the sakes of making sure it clears with as little rubbing as possible but we can see what everyone else chimes in with for tips.

Okay, so I just bought some rims from another member.... Sizes 20x10 +35 and 20x11+35.... couple questions:
1) what, If any, spacers do I need to run?
2) what size tires should I put on the front and back that won't cause any rubbing issues with no fender modification? ( I'm going to drop it an inch or so on springs, and i'd like to run the widest possible tire that I can on the back)

Thanks everyone in advance for your help. I'm far from an expert when it comes to wheel fitment.

Depends what look you are going for.

You should have asked these questions before you bought them.

Also I wouldnt run big spacers with the brand of wheel you bought.

Good luck!

Looking for flush fitment, and the widest functional tires i can put on the front and back without modification to any fenders. The wheels are Varrstoens . . if that matters . . . .

325/25/20
fit on the 370z base with wheels
20x9.5 +25
20x10.5 +22
if not what would i need to do or what would be the next best match.

Thanks for your time.

I wouldnt put a 325 on a 10.5 wheel. but i also am the same person who doesnt like to stretch tires.

a 275 up front would fit fine.

On the rear you can run a 305/25/20 and may opt for a 5mm spacer on top of that.

if it has to be guess that is the largest/widest tire i can fit with these rims till later get a different set. Also is the spacer to set the rim out more.

Thanks for your time.

Let me try my fitment question a different way:

Varrstoen 20x10 +35 and 20x11 +35

Looking to run 265/35/20 in front and 315/30/20 in the rear

Will probably run a 20mm spacer in the rear as well . . .

Will these fit nice and flush? And is this a safe fitment for these wheel sizes?

Also, looking to drop it 1.5" all around

Thanks in advance for your help!

I may go to a 295/35 after i finish this set though.
Stock height
18x9.5 +20
18x10.5 +15

will that tire combination (255/45 and 295/35) work/look good?

Thats my future plan ATM. But I will probably drop down to a 255/40 since I do rub a little on big bumps but we'll see after i re-adjust my camber to where I want them to be and the 255/45 may be just fine. Plus a little less sidewall never hurts in cornering

It'll fit but I would run a 15mm spacer up front and 25-30mm in the rear or else the front will be aggressive looking/flush and the rears will be sunk in
