Im looking at buying a set of Stern ST-1 's (they came off a 350z).The sizes are 19x8.5 (32mm offset) front and 19x9.5 (35mm offset) rear . My question is : Will i have any issues with fitment on my maxima. It a 96. I know ive seen maximas on here with staggered fitments on thiers but i just wanna make sure before i buy these. The tire sizes are front:245/35/19 the rear are 275/35/19. Thanks in advance for the advice.

 

I highly doubt 275/35/19 is going to work without spacers.
I had some older 350z wheels but they were 18's and if I remember correctly the rear were 255/40/18.

 

Why on God's green earth would he need to run a spacer on the rear wheels when they're 9.5 et35...

The size of the wheels is fine; but, with that wide of a rear tire, you are going to have some serious rubbing unless you completely flatten the fender lip and maybe even pull it out about 1/4". From what I can tell, a 255/35/19 tire on a 19x9.5 et35 would be perfectly flush on the rear with the inner fender lip flat. I don't know what kind of suspension you have, but if it isn't coil-overs, you might also rub on the spring perch due to the height of the tire (my old 245/40 18's were pretty close rubbing and those 275's are almost an inch taller in overall diameter). But if you're "high" enough on say stock suspension, it might not be an issue until you hit some serious bumps.

Here's mine - 19x8.5 et35 with 235's up front and 19x9.5 et35 out back again with 235's:

 

Nice Whip

 

mad-max..car looks sick !

 

yeah i havent lowered it yet and they did fit without rubbing but like mad max is saying once i lower it im gonna need a smaller tire. Ill post some pics as soon as i load them. The 275 is really beafer than i was expecting but i got the rims and tires for cheap ! They are way better than they old sawblades , lol .

 

Mad-MAX_SE:
he would need a spacer so he wouldt have rubbing issues as you yourself pointed out.

In my case..I sold my staggered set, I hated the way the set up affected my handling.
let alone the comments I got from them around town..
Staggered looks sick on RWD cars, FWD with staggered is a$$ backwards and just comes out looking ricey.

 

Thank you for the round about negative comment about my car.

 

Somehow the car would -look- ricey if it's a FWD and somehow the car would -look- sick if it's RWD??

If it fits and looks good then I'll get it.

 

Not hating/dissing or whatever.
Its my opinion, Thats my right.
Its your right to do whatever you want to your car.
You didn't build it for others to judge you.
You did it for you.I dump my go fast and show parts
on my supra, My max is my DD.Nothing more..
So I just dont get going overboard with it.




Im saying that tuners/car enthusiast will know if you are FWD or RWD, and putting something that doesn't belong is usually ricey..Like huge spoilers that create down force on FWD< ricey.

Besides all that it makes the car handle like a truck.

But do what you want..Its your car.

 

Big spoiler on FWD = ricey
Big spoiler on RWD = ricey
My point is that if it looks nice and fits right then how can it be ricey?? Some people do this as appearance mod instead of handling mod.

 

I did it cause i liked it ! Period !
Here are the pics sorry about the crappy phone pics , lol .









i know , i need to lower it , lol !
