New Wheels...Need Tires!!!

[Coqui_Racer]

Hello everyone... I'm fairly new to the Z community and to this forum! Tried the search but no luck...I just got some new wheels for my 06 Z and wanted to know if anyone knows or has run a 295/30/19 on there Z(rear)??? A few nights ago I saw a G35 with 315/30/18 with no body mods.And it just got me thinking.. I have 19x8.5's for the front and 19x10.5's for the back. The Rears are a 26mm Offset and the Front are 35mm offset. The car will be lowered but did not know if a 295 would rub. And I would hate to buy the tires and figure out it's not going to work. Any help would be great!

Thanks

Ditto for me - fairly new to Z ownership and the Forum that is. In my research with aftermarket rims and new tires for my 07 Z, I was advised that 10 1/2 inch rear wheels and a 28mm offset would be pushing out to the lip of the rear fender. Certainly you have enough rim width for a 285/30 or even larger tire. I'm not sure you will be inside the wheel well. Fitment advice from 'conservative' places like The Tire Rack suggest their 10 1/2 inch rear rim with 35 to 40 mm offset and 275/35 tires, for what it's worth.

I am certain those with more experience will help you out on this forum.

I'm not sure, but it would be close. My friend is running 275 x 18's in the back. If you put coilovers on you could adjust it so it doesn't rub.

Thanks for the info Guys. I do have H&R coilovers but have not put them on yet. I'm prob going to do everything at once. Want to do things right so I still have to get the front control arms and and the links for the rear to adjust the camber and toe. I think it will be very close but I guess it's going to be one of those live and learn deals. Thanks for the info. I'll try and post some pics when installed.
