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

Wondering what is the most aggressive look that is safe and will not damage anything, thanks.

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.
