Please Help! Wheel size for my Y50!!

Hi everyone, im about to order some wheels for my Y50. I want to go 19s or maybe 20s on it. After the wheel i will be ordering Air Runners for it also. Please tell me what is the best size i can do on this car. Thanks everyone!~

I think you should consider the Air Suspension first... then do the wheel fitment based on that... 
 
WIDEBODY_Q should chime in at any moment for his recommendations too... 
 
Other questions would be: 
1) How wide of a wheel are you considering???
2) How do you want your wheels to sit are you dropped already??? 
3) How much of a tire stretch are you willing to run???
4) Are you considering doing any fender modifications??? pulling cause there are no lips on those fenders...etc...
 
BTW... I have some wheels that fit really good on that M... 
20x9 & 20x10  +40 all around...

Im thinking to do 19x9 +35 front and 19x9 +30 rear. i want the wheels to tuck in a bit in the rear nothing too crazy cause it will be for daily use also. And i will roll my fenders too.

what wheels to you have? 

Thanks!

the wheels on my signature... AME Shallen FX... the fitment on them are almost the same as what you stated above... 
 
BTW... the Y50 doesn't have a fender lip to ROLL...

You might want to try a more aggressive offset because mine are 19 X 8.5 +30 F & 19 X 9.5 + 30 R and I still need about 15mm spacers in the front and like 5mm in the rear


Here are some pictures to show you what I mean

Yea i think im gonna do 19x9.5 +11 front and 19x10 +11 rear. Thanks for the photos and infos too!

rear might not fit, test fit the rims first!

it also depends on the rear disk spacing
mine are low disk

I cant rear test fit them cause i had to order them from Japan, and they are low disk also.

The fronts are not going to fit at all and so is the back. U gonna have to pull the front and rear fenders to fit those sizes. If I where u, I would go 19x9 fronts and 19x10 rear with higher offsets.

I thought u were going with this set up. Just look at my old set up, the rears were 19x10 +10 and I had to pull the fender just to be able to be flush. Before I pulled the fender, the wheel was sticking out about an inch. So it's up too u.

Yea im doing that set up. i ordered the wheels already. cant go back now lol. but i was thinking if i will drop them with air runners, the wheels should tuck in.

I have air too. When I lowered the rear, the fender would just sit on top of the tire. But that was before I pulled the fenders. lol.. But maybe if u max out the camber  and stretch the tires a lot, u might be able to tuck or be flush. Good luck and keep us updated.

I hope it will work, how do you roll the fenders, cause im kinda afraid to do it lol. i will keep you guys posted when i get the wheels in like 2-3 months? lol

I say take it to a shop to roll the fenders for you. 
It's just not something you want to use your own car to learn on. 
Or go to the junk yard or use a friends car and learn on theirs first!

Good Luck!!

Also mine is a M35x, will the offset be different?

I waited for a hot day and I got a fender roller and a heat gun. You just have to take your time, and roll it little at a time. If u roll too much, u cant pull it back in.
