I'm thinking of doing just a slight stretch to help with fender fitment. just asking for suggestions, I've had my eyes set on a couple sets of rotas but let me know what you all think!

So if you have a suggestion, rim/tire sizes and offsets would be nice!

ALSO! i'm getting D2 coilovers so dont worry about that.

Thanks guys.

I am currently on a set of Rota Grids and they look great on the 5th gen. They are 17x9.5 +30 all around. If I had a choice I would go with a +20ish in the rear.
As far as OEM wheels, you really cannot go wrong with G35 19's.

Just go on tirerack and view all the wheels on your car and pick the ones that look the best.

i totally would but grids are hard to find in that size and the highlight yellows only go up to 9" with +20 offset

hah but i think thatll be fine. i dont plan for it to look professional, just correct-ish. lol if i have to do small spacers in the rear i will. but yea i kinda agree about the p45s but someones already used em and i want to be unique haha thanks man.

What tire size should I get for my 370Z 19" rays wheels? They're 10" of width! I want to use them on my 03 Maxima.

I currently have the 5-spoke 18x9 in my 2002 Black Max and they rub a little when jumping or with a loaded car

Those are like way taller than stock. Any reason why you suggested either?

Nearly 2" taller than stock with the 245 45 19's.

My mistake I was trying to go off memory. The sizes I used were 245/40 and 235/45. I sometimes got rubbing when I had people in my back seat and I was going over bumps but it wasn't bad. Either one will fill the wheel well up nicely.

My bad, that's too big... for the 19x10 it should be like a 245/35/19? stretched. I'm not sure I need advice before I buy tires. I want the biggest tires before rubbing so it's not too stiff
