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.

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.

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!

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
