Looking at a set of Rays 19" G35 rims, will these tires fit?
Hey all,

Looking to get some used 19" G35 rims. Seller wrapped em with Hankook Evo 12s. Here are the specs:


Rays Forged 19"

Front
Size: 19x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 19 lbs
Tire: 245/35-19

Rear
Size: 19x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 21 lbs
Tire: 275/35-19


Will these fit the 8? Thanks! I do plan a minor drop with coilovers in the near future.

Might have to roll the rear fenders some depending how low you go, I have the same wheels with 245/40s on the rear. I think 275/35s will be kinda tall though.

Rears are too wide. They can be that tall in the back but it will throw off your speedometer a little bit. I bet they would sit outside the fenders by a bit.

If I swapped the rear tires for 255/35 then that would b ideal, correct? Do you think an unlowered car be driveable until I was able to swap them out?
