I know all the common specs and I know you can easily run 19-20" in the mid +30mm range on the rear. What's the most aggressive you can go with a mild drop (h-techs), 275w rear tire, and no rubbing?

Curious minds are curious.

275w or less tire?

Seems a lot of the rims out on the market will need spacers to clear the brakes. If I can't find what I like I may simply go with 15mm spacers in the rear with 275/30's

Should be able to run a 275 tire with that offset easily. I run a 275 tire with 35 offset on a 9.5" wheel and you can go more aggressive on a g37 coupe, easily.

Seems you can go much more aggressive on the G35 coupe but not necessarily the G37 without adjusting the crap out of camber. As a "highway queen" I don't want to deal with a high wear situation.

You can back calculate from my setup to what ever wheel width you are planning to use with your 275 tires. My tires and wheels are flush with the fender line.

I have 285 on 10" wheels with 48 offset. I am also within the factory alignment spec using a rear camber kit so I have "normal" tire wear.
