Default run 350Z setup of IS350 works?

is there any chance of running 350Z or G35 setup on IS350? with stock setup (not lower at all)

9.5 and 10.5
+22 all around.

would the wheel stick out of fenders?

and what tires size would work best?

without any rubbing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8.5 and 9.5 running +22 all around would be too conservative for 350z and G35, wouldnt be called 350z setup anymore

^^^^I had a G35 Coupe with 8.5/9.5 and ran +25 in front and +30 in back. Not to conservative for me. It was just right.

Those sizes would work if you are not lowered at all. It will rub in the front, and it will also stick out of the body. Other than that it should fit.

Stretch the tires and slam the car, then you'll be flush.

i'm running 8.5 front and 9.5 rear.. my front rubs on a sharp turn or running over slight bumps on the freeway.. previously when I was running Nitto 555s with 265 rear, it was rubbing when my car was packed.. switched to 265 and no rubbing issues.. now i switched to the Nitto Invo and back to 275 with no rubbing issues with passengers.. for me, it depends on the type of tires, but the Invo has a thinner sidewall so thus no issues with rubbing on the rear.. however, front rubs when it turns still..
