I just picked up some g35c 18's with 225/45/18 all around. Do you any of you know if i would rub with H-techs? also what drop do you recommend with those wheels. I'm planning on using stock struts for a while and I've heard that progress is the lowest i can go on stocks. Thanks in advance

 

i dont know how low the htech drop is, but with the z wheels with the same tire specs and with stechs, i rubbed. you're gonna wanna roll the fenders

 

i have g35 wheels with 255/35/18 and i have no problems

 

i think that if my 20x8.5 wheels with 225's dont rub EVER, i think youd be fine. more than okay

 

Your sidewall on the tires are too big. Go with a different size. ie... 235/35/18 and you'll be good.

So what drop would be good with these tires?

 

because you have 35 profile tires


dnozzle2789-i think that if my 20x8.5 wheels with 225's dont rub EVER, i think youd be fine. more than okay

you don't rub because your offset is probably not like g35 rims.

 

i have tein-s and had the 350z rims which probably has the same offesett as the g rims...after rolling the fenders, i didn't rub. no problem

 

It depends on the offset.

35 is a little too low profile. 45 is a bit big, but it gives better cushioning.

Choii -
tis true but i dont know what the offset of those rims are...i would guess 35? it was a "act before thinking comment"

 

they are +30.

 

well now i wanna delete my post :-)

 

 

I'm running 245/45/18 , it raised my car quite a bit comparing to the stock wheels which are smaller in overall diameter ( im on progress springs and tokico blues ) I will go with 245/40/18 next time I buy tires. You learn something new everyday Either that or go with even shorter springs.

I don't think you will rub because you have 225 versus my 245, which does affect things alot, the tire will be further from the fender, and it will be a lil more than half an inch smaller in diameter.

If you do rub, the first spot will probably be passenger rear because of the shifted beam. ( once you lower the car ).

It's all in the offset! too bad I don't know mine

 

No rub, no love.
