Exclamation Help me decide...Rims

Hi... Please Help me decide!!!!
I plan to get new rims.What the best offset on my G35 sedan Between?
(1).5Zigen Sports Engine: Hyper Dark Front is 19x8.5 +38 & Back is 19x8.5 +45
(2).HP racing EVO Dark Wheels offset all around is +38
I have already gotten "TOYO" -T1R- Tires Front is 225/40/19 & Back is 245/40/19. I want drop my car with Tein H-techs. What you guys think?
Is there any problem about rubbing issues in the future?
Should I move tire pressure from the old wheel to new wheel?What will happen if i do not put tire pressure to the new wheel? Thanks....

If you're gonna stagger the tires, you should also stagger the wheels. Otherwise run 19x8.5 +38 w/245/40/19 all around or 245/35/19 to keep the sporty look of the car.

If you go staggered, your best option are the 5Zigen wheels. 19x8.5 +38 front with 245/35/19 and 19x9.5 +45 rear with 275/30/19.

My SSR GT10's with rear's of 9.5 and +47 offset on 275/35 were perfect. Did not have to roll the fenders.

#2 looks better, but would be a pain to clean around all the small crevices. Definitely try for a deeper dish in the rear though, that's the way I'd go.

I was considering the same 2 and chose the HP's for the darker finish that comes on the edges of each spoke. It gives the appearanc of more depth. I went with 18x8 +38 offset with 245-45-18 tires all around. This was an "upsized tire size" and I did the 350z spring drop. The tires come close to rubbing the rear fenders when under heavy loads. I'd at least go with a +40 offset next time.

I like the HP's better.

If you plan to get wider tires for the rear then see if the make a 9.5" or 10" for the rear. Otherwise I would do the 245/40's all the way around. You may run into VDC problems with a 225/40 and 245/40 being too far off in diameter.
