F: 18x8.5 +42mm
R: 18x8.5 +42mm

Suspension? How much tire do you want? Are you gonna be autocrossing? That's pretty conservative and should fit no problem.

Hmm that's probably 9.5 +15 or something in the front then. 350z/G35 are who would be interested in those wheels then

If it were that easy, this thread would be tiny. Ride height/camber/tire size are determining factors too

Tires are too tall...should fit fine if you get the tire profile right.

currently running...
245/35-19 front
265/30-19 rear

I don't like the wheel gap on the rear.
I assume that i could at least run 275/35-19's in the rear? should only be about 2% larger than stock.

Yea that should work. May have to roll your rear fenders but that's it.

245/40 and 275/35 is what I'd go with. Roll rear fenders and probably trim up the bumper tab a bit.
