Hi Guys,

After some wheels for my V35 coupe.

Wanted to know your thoughts on 19x9.5 fronts and 19x11 rears? Is anyone running these specs and fitted onto thier v's? i'd love to see some pics.

Also after some research ive found that i would need to run 245/35/19 fronts and 275/35/19 for the rears. Offset is +12 front and +15 rears.

Questions are

1. Will 245/35/19 fit on the 19x11 rears? cause atm i have 245/35/19's all round...if not let me know what tyres will fit best

2.Will i need to roll my guards?

3.Do i mount the wheels on first with the tyres then see what sort of drop i will need? springs/coilovers thoughts?

4. If i do need to roll guards, do i need to have the car dropped first and go from there or do i roll them first with wheels at stock height before dropping?

Please advise, im not very cluey when it comes to wheels/tyre fitment.

Thanks

1. yes - those tyres will fit but be fairly stretched. I'd try go for a

2. yes - this is a pretty agressive fitment

3. up to you. for such an agressive setup though, I wouldnt even consider springs. You're going to need the fine tuning capabilities of coilovers to get your ride height/clearance the way you want it. Springs leave little margin for error - they'll either clear or they won't.

4. Roll gaurds, suspension, fit wheels - best plan.

For info on how its going to look - go to www.rimtuck.com and find a setup that is closest to your specs. Also lists the tyres used so you can see how your 245s will look.

If you can't find a setup with these exact specs - find one that is closest then use Mark Sink Offset Calculator to work out what the difference is between your setup and the pics.

Otherwise - i got some rims for sale - and they definitely fit ;-) ......see my thread.

I was just about to recommend www.rimtuck.com too.

The easiest way i think to do it would be to try and find a picture or someone with the same if not very similar specs and try to find out what they're lowered on and what tyres and all the specs then work it from there.

All those calculators can be tricky to understand so that's how i worked out my setup by finding a guy in America with a G35 on the exact same wheel specs.

I would recommend finding the wheels & tyres first then fitting coilovers/springs and trialing it to see how it looks then roll the guards, just have to make sure u have access to another car since you don't want to be driving with your tyres rubbing your fenders..

I'm fitting 25mm + 20mm spacers this weekend and i'll need front and rear guards rolled just depends what sort of "stance" you want.

Goodluck! It's certainly not an easy task finding the perfect setup.

Please advise, im not very cluey when it comes to wheels/tyre fitment.

245's on 11 inch rims is just retarded.

You may need a large hammer and an oxy to fit them under, the cops are gunna lurve you long time. :whistling:

^^^ he said 275s on the rear .....

But OP - have you priced up 275 tyres? You will literally fall over when you find out the price of a decent brand - upwards of $500 per tyre.

^^ ah sorry Scott, didn't see the subsequent question ... but OP there is no way that 245s will fit on an 11", and even 275s will be a bit of stretch. I have 265s on my 10" rears and even they need to be massaged a tad when they fitted them to get them to bead and seal. I don't understand why on earth you would want 11" rims.

And Seano, in case I hadn't pointed out previously, spacers are completely illegal and if you have an accident (whether or not you are at fault), if they notice, insurers will not pay your claim. Just something to note.

^^ quite true Nightcrawler.

Same could be said about 45 degree sidewalls, although they assume no-one is that stupid. I doubt a tyre shop would fit them anyway for fear of being sued by the families of the people you would kill.

Relax guys - i think he was just trying to see if he could get away with re-using his existing tyres.

It can certainly be done - whether or not it's wise for a regularly driven car is another story.

This is a 245 on an 11 rear.....

And agree - no good comes from spacers.

Questions are

1. Will 245/35/19 fit on the 19x11 rears? cause atm i have 245/35/19's all round...if not let me know what tyres will fit best

Yes 245/35/19 tyres will fit a 11" rim, i'm running that atm.

2.Will i need to roll my guards?

Definately need to roll your rear guards with a slight pump if youre running that aggressive wheel setup.

3.Do i mount the wheels on first with the tyres then see what sort of drop i will need? springs/coilovers thoughts?

If you're going springs, don't even bother with that wheel set-up, coilovers for sure.

4. If i do need to roll guards, do i need to have the car dropped first and go from there or do i roll them first with wheels at stock height before dropping?

best off rolling the guards first then go from there.

Be aware that if you stretch a 245 on an 11" rim, the ride quality will be TERRIBLE. There is no sidewall flex, and if you hit a decent bump/gutter, it will debead or blow the tyre. Not to mention is completely illegal.

Also be aware that if you want to run 11" rims on the rear, you will need at the very least adjustable lower control arms to add some serious camber. This then wears your tyres very unevenly, and you will find you are buying very expensive tyres on a very regular basis.

I used to run a 235 on a 19x10.5

That was on a 2 tonne Lexus LS400 as well - daily driven - never had an issue.

Yes you chew tyres when your're running extreme neg camber - but I found that running high tyre pressures helped because you convex the tread surface (which rounds the shoulder) and also protects the wheel. Also ran Achilles ATR's - they are 800 tread wear - yes, they're like rocks and grip like a slippery pig - but they last for ever! VIP life yo. Anyway - this is getting O/T.

OP hasn't even come back to post, but he did say in his first post that he would probably run 275 rears.

hey guys thanks for all you thoughts and help in this matter, the reason im going with this setup is cause i have seen the wheels and set up done and i think it looks really good! and also they only offer 9.5f and 11 rears, the offsets were to clear brembos.... i know alot of thought and research is to be done before i do anything...

i will let you know once i have updates...

Cheers!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
