Im shopping for my next tires for my TE37's. FR 19x9.5 ET35 RR 19x10.5 ET35. Im lowered on swift springs and am wondering if anyone has run a 255/40/19 FR and 285/35/19 RR combo before on a RCF? It's a more meaty tire obviously and with the stock 255/35/19 front I do rub on full lock backing out of my driveway. It seems this combo i'm proposing keeps all 4 tires roughly the same diameter, circumference overall.
This 370z is running this setup just for reference.

Any assistance would be great.
Can I ask why you are going so narrow on your wheels?

Quick question, I'm planning on ordering some work wheels and they come in either 19x9.5/10.5 +23 or +30 offset. Which offset should I go with for a flush fitment with no rubbing or fender rolling? I'm currently lowered on Swift springs and is planning to use the oem Tires, thanks in advance!

30 for both guaranteed no rubbing . rcf fenders are rolled from factory.

Aloha folks,

inputs on on what’s best if I purchase a set up of 20s without lowering. Also want to keep the tire profile at 35 so I don’t lose the ride quality( Hawaii has horrible roads). Best recommended size/offset/tire set up/combo. Thinking about Advan GT or BBS LM set up. Thanks for any advice, appreciate it!

my advan GT rims are square set up 19 x 10 +35
Fitmemt is flush. Not too aggressive.
I’ve run both 275/35/19 and 275/30/19 on them. Both will work but fyi the 35 series is taller than oe diameter.
The fronts will rub very slightly once in a while and my car isn’t too low, but it is lowered. Not an issue really.
Hope that helps.
You won’t rub on the back at +35 unless you’re slammed or running a crazy wide rim like 11”+. Lots of room back there.

If not lowered you won’t have any issues as long as offset is +30 or more.

Here are two Pictures of my RCF from Spain ! STR Wheels 20" no springs. my wheels are already rubbing inside the wheel well , cannot imagine what would happen if I lower the car more.

thanks! How big are your 20s? Are the larger than 20x10? What size tires are you running?

Well. this is my opinion so here goes. I think the factory wheels are very strong and also good looking wheels. Unless the wheels are an upgrade in performance, weight or strength I am not going to change them only to get a certain look for my car. I would probably go Volks if I ever do change the wheels. If you do ever damage a factory wheel you can normally find one for pretty cheap on Ebay for replacement.

I am also not going to lower my car as it is a sort of daily driver and most drives I do are on the back roads of California. These roads can be pretty choppy and I want as much travel and suspension as possible for comfort as well as handling. If I do replace my rims it will also be factory offset. If I replace shocks or springs it will be factory ride height. No need now as the suspension is perfect for fast back road touring.
