HELP!! 275/30/20 or 285/30/20?! 08 M45S 20x10 +35 rear!!

[The Bodyguard]

Car is a 2008 Infiniti M45S. Need help with fitment of 275/30/20 or 285/30/20 on 20x10" +35 offsset for the rear!! I am dropped on Eibach springs and don't want rubbing inside or tire poking outside... Stretch on tire is preferred with a lil poke on the wheels.... But no tire AND wheel poking!! I'm getting a deal on a set of NITTO NT555 Staggered set $600 255/30/20 front and 285/30/20 rear.. New!!

Also anyone know if Lexus TPMS will work on our Infinitis?? I've got an extra set of four and would like to use them since I'm keeping my stock 19" for now....

with the info you gave the 20x10 et35 with the 285/30 tire will rub. If you add some camber and maybe pull the fender a little it may work.

Whats hurting you is the 35 offset.

I'm running 20x10 et42 285/30 with no rubbing and alignment very close to specs, I don't rub.

My car has D2 Racing coilovers set up for the family (wife & 2 girls). When the family is in the car I tuck the 285/30 with no rubbing.

The best set up I have seen on the M for those that don't want stretch or poke tires and be very close to alignment spec with no work is:

front: 20x8.5 et30 with 245/35

rear: 20x10 et45 with 285/30

Hope this helps.

nope, i dont think so, TPMS Sensors connects to a small computer near the OBD2 Connection through some wireless connection maybe Bluetooth and they have a matching code. if so then we drive and connects to other drivers TPMS!!

but, you can connect to other infiniti TPMS sensors. because this happened to me when i changed my wheels!

You can fit a 10.5 +35 with a 255/35/20 so you might be able fit a 265 but idk about the 285 and don't think it will fit without fender pulling. Type rennen on the search tab and you'll see what I'm taking about on both threads that come up.

[06M4.5]

10.5" with an et35 will poke out of the fender.

even a 10" with an et35 will poke out.

The problem is not the tire, it's the offset of the wheel. He doesn't want any tire or wheel poking.

[mexillis]

^ I agree, I was just saying what could fit.

I could manage with a little wheel poking out and a stretch on the tires... I want to stay away from tire poking out and fender work...

So with the 20"x10" +35 offset a 275/30/20" tire should be good??

I'm not an expert but I think you would need some camber.

20x10 with 275/30 tire may need a 38 or 40 ET with being in alignment specs (almost no camber at all).

[The Bodyguard]

I went by the shop I do most of my wheel shopping at and they too said no way on the 285/30/20". Also they suggested the 275/30/20" should be fine but the offset is still lower than suggested...

Guys I'm no expert that's why I'm asking for help... Very much appreciated!!
What is the real difference between 20x10"+35 offset and 20x10 +38 or +40 offset with regards to poking?? I've already pulled the trigger on the wheels so tire clearance is the issue now!!
Tyson is running 265/30/20" on his rear 10.5" Vossens.... So Stretch on my 20x10" should be less than his, correct?? Still hoping I can get away with 275/30/20" though

[06M4.5]

20x10.5 Vossen has ET45 and the wheel still sticks out of the fender.

Whats helping you is that your car is drop with Eibach springs, I think the 20x10 ET 35 will fit with a 275/30 but it will need some camber.

Best thing to do is have one tire installed at the shop just to see what it will look like.

A 20x10 ET38 wheel is just about even with the fender lip. This will work with a 275/30 with little or maybe NO camber.

You could also do what I did, I got the 2 rear wheels milled from 38mm to 42mm (now I tuck a 285/30). This will only work if your wheels have extra material.

Ok the 285/30/20" tire was in question because I had found a deal for the set but if its too much work and having to mill the wheels is not in my plans at this time... I don't have a problem with just buying the set of 275/30/20" rear... Plus I actually have a slight "NATURAL" camber from the eibach springs. Lol!!

This is just to give you an idea:



This is what a 20x10 et42 with 285/30 tire with-in alignment specs looks like (almost no camber at all).

Sorry for the bad pick as it's the only one I have.

Its kool! Thanks... If I have to mill the rims I think I would go from +35 to +38 on the offset... The wheels I got are WORK so I'm pretty sure they would be able to mill them!
Thanks a lot... My #1 choice right now will be 275/30/20" though... I will put one wheel at a time... Lol! Thanks!!

[06M4.5]

This pic shows how I have the car set up for the family (wife & 2 girls).

You can see that both front and rear are tucking tire with no one in the car.



No rubbing with 285/30 & 245/35 et30 up front

I hope this gives you a better idea

EFFUN NICE!! So I really should be fine with 275/30/20" don't you think??? What are you dropped on?? This set up looks perfect!!

[mexillis]

I'm running -3.5 camber in the rear and it doesn't affect tire wear as long as your alignmet is good. Why not buy the 275's mount em and lay it down on the ground to see how it sits, then if u need more cambr or a slight pull put ur oem wheel back on and get it done? The dfference between 35 and 38 is 3 mm more out towards the fender. Not much but makes a difference the lower you go.

[06M4.5]

Thanks, I'm on D2 Racing coilovers. When the family gets in she gets lower.

I would try 1 wheel with a 275/30 and see what it looks like. If you think you need more room give it some camber.

if you don't want to give it camber get the wheels milled to 38 or 40et (40mm would be best).

Let's see a pic of the wheel.

This is most likely what I'm going to do... I don't want to go smaller tire at 265/30/20 and sacrifice wheel/rim protection!! The shop that dropped my car is real good with alignment so I'll take that route... Thanks Guys!! I'll keep y'all posted!!

I'm on my cell phone and can't post a Pic... Only through my PC but I'll try and get one up.... They are WORK VARIANZA T1s 20x9" +35 front and 20x10" +35 rear!! Polished lip silver/machined face!

[06M4.5]

That's a very nice wheel.

I'm sure you'll get it to work and your car will look great.

I'm still hoping I get someone with experience on 285/30/20 with low offset could help out!! Really want a bit more rubber!! Plus I'm getting killer deals on full sets of 255/35/20 front 285/30/20 rear!! My choice Hankook V12 or Nitto NT555!! $600 What do I do?? BTW today I will try out the 275/30/20 (most likely will fit) and the Lexus TPMS!! If I find a 285/30/20 used, I will test both before I buy my full set new!!

Anyone else have ideas or thoughts would be appreciated!!

[06M4.5]

255/35 looks funny (to tall). Stick with 245/35

Yea, I got a damn good price on the Hankook set already just haven't got the time to do it. 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear! Will be on midway through the week I hope but for sure by Friday!! $850 is the price I have right now installed, mounted and balanced out the door price!! Trying to hustle it down to an even $800. That'll be a Deal!!

Fronts going for $180 ea. X2=$360
Rears going for $250 ea. X2=$500
Total of $860 (giving me $850)
That was my Saturday price and the guy I'm dealing with said he had other vendors during the week that would be cheaper for sure on the rears!! Hoping for $225ea. X2 puts me at minus $50 overall so a cool $800!!

[06M4.5]

I have seen them as low as $148 (245/35) and $214 (275/30) but shipping is too much.

I went with the Vredesteins

Wow those are good prices.... so mounted, balanced + taxes and everything else out the door $800 is actually within reach!!

[06M4.5]

yes it is. If you buy from them all the time I see why not.

I"ll try to find a link for you but like I said shipping is a killer.
