I have an 03 G35 sedan and I am looking for wheels and tires to buy but I am unsure what will work for the car without rubbing/rolling. I am stuck between two setups. Ruff Racing 277 18" staggered setup or 18" chrome ADR Spartans. Will these fit my car? I am unsure of the specs on the ruff racing wheels but the ADR spartans are
SIZE: (FRONT) 18 x 8.5 / (REAR) 18 x 9.5 (Staggered Fitment)
BOLT PATTERN: 5 x 114.3
OFFSET: (FRONT) 32mm / (REAR) 35mm

any help would be grateful. I did a search but i still am unsure about how the offsets work and what fits. also what size tires should I buy for either of these setups.

Thank you in advance.

The offsets are a little low, so your wheels will stick out a few mm's too far and will likely rub on the inside of your fenders.

I would go with a 8.5" width with a +35 to +38 offset, and a 9.5" width in the rear with a +42 to +45 offset.

Unfortunately it is impossible to say whether you will rub because there are so many factors involved. The exact tires, alignment specs, height of you car, etc. all effect rubbing and fittment. My above numbers are the best you can do, and even then there is a slight chance you may rub....

 

IMO I think those offsets are a little too low (may stick out). Ideal on a 8.5" wide rim would be a +38, and on a 9.5" rim it would be a +45/+42. I do know that some has gotten away with as low as a +30 but thats on a 8" wide rim. As far as tire sizes....245/45/18 (front) and 275/40/18 (rear)or 245/40/18 (front)and 265/35/18 (rear)...thats with the proper offsets though. Good Luck.
