Default Flush Expert advice!

I need help to make my rear wheels flush as possible.....
Before


After with 10mm spacer



Since my rears are getting worn out, I'm planning going 225/35/19 tires... Current rear tires are 275/30/19, would that help make the wheel more flush? OR should I get 5mm spacer?

after the 10mm spacer you put on, your rear wheels look pretty flush to me (from what i can see in the picture).

Now to your question about the tires...


What Width are your 19s?

and how low are you?


i'm running 225/35/19 on an 9.5 width and my stretch is pretty aggressive and helps clear my rolled fenders.

Width of the Wheels are 10.

I'm probably low as NET...

Wouldn't getting 15mm and 225/35 still make the tire poke out?

Oh... we don't know what your idea of flush is...

but probably not, measure out 5mm and add it onto the tire.

i'd say go with 235 tires stretched. the tire wont poke out at all, but your rim lip should (a little).

and a 15mm spacer definitely.

currently your tire is square walled, by putting a 235/35, the tire will start to stretch, allowing more clearance for the tire to go in the fender. at the same time allowing the bead/lip of the rim to poke out of the fender.

right side is a g35, with a 19x10 on 235/35/19 tires. rolled rear fenders, no tire is poking, but just the lip of the rim.


flush is flush, sunken is sunken, &poke is poke. don't think they all mean flush.

Fenderub, I want the exact look on your G35. So 235/35 tires with 15mm spacer is good for that look?

Your pretty flush from the looks of the picture its just that you do not have the lip poking out. I was planning on running 235/35 on a 18x10 so should the lip should poke out a little.

That is 225/35


This is a 235/35

If you want it like that G35 you need a 25mm spacer a few inches lower and about -2.5* more camber.
