245 on a 9.5" rim is barely stretching.

They only offer the front with that specific offset, would it be better for me to get the 19x9.0 with a +32 in the front or just go 19x10.5 in the front I don't completely understand offsets even after reading the tire rack article about offsets I just want my wheels to look nice, they don't have to be flush but they can be close to flush, and also keep the handling of the car because I drive my car like a sports car

If that's the only offset they offer with these wheels you need to find another brand that looks the same and will work for your G. My first set of Volks had 40 offsets in front, when going thru a tight turn the wheel would hit my suspension and jerk the steering wheel out of my hands....not a good experience and a major wake up call!

It looks like the guys over at my350z are running these exact wheels with 19x8.5 in the front and 19x10.5 in the back the front offset is +20 not sure if this would work or even in the 350z has similar offsets to the z

David you posted the 19x9 had a 41 offset and that's all they had available, if you can get the 20 that would work....Gary

Yeah I did original think those were the only sizes availible but I found the 19x8.5 size for the front. So just confirm neither the 19x9 or 19x9.5 will fit with the offsets that I listed. Only the 19x8.5

You could always get 15mm spacers for the front if you're set on these wheels. Not ideal as to getting proper offset rims but at least it'll work.

This will give you 9.5 +26 and 10.5 +27,
