Help! Rim offset?

As much as I love this forum... I cant find a straight answer to the following:

What is the ideal offset to run on a 2007 G35s 6MT? Ideal meaning, aggressive looks with NO RUBBING at all, assuming car is lowered on top of that.

So far I know that:
19x8.5 - Front
19x9.5 - Back

But offset? I have mixed answers.. in the 30's lol.

Need to know how much you plan to lower the car, how much camber you'd like to run, and your planned tire sizes.

Good point... Either Eibach kit or similar drop with Tein Coilovers.

As for tire size, I will run what ever size I need to to avoid rubbing! 245 front and 265 or 275 back??? Not sure? Open to suggestions!

to help give you an ideal. Here are pics of my ride
+15 offset
8.5/9.5 wheel widths
235/245 tires.
-1.8 rear camber

I can still add a 5-10mm spacer front and go 255 rear.


hope this can give you an ideal of what you wanna do.

Any Rubbing at all???Im getting new rims friday which are 9.5 in back and +25 and will be running a 245 tire as well. I have 10 mm spacers in back already so i was hoping i could run my spacer making it a +15 and still clear the fender. But without the wheels and tires in hand its kinda hard to assume.

Looks sick but I want a pretty much exactly flush look if that makes sense? I dont want rims to atick out.... Just exactly flush.

what size and off set are the factory wheels? I want aftermarket rims - but want stock size--- no lowering no spring BS-- just replacement rims that bolt on and dont change anything but looks.

and where is a good site to get rims? thanks.....

then I'd say a +25 to +28 range on a 9.5 wheel and 255 tire. I also suggest getting coilovers to adjust the height you want for the amount camber to go.

your setup will be exact same as mine. Your gonna have to cut about 1.5 width inches of the inner fender liner, like I did.

technically you dont have to but to avoid going so much negative camber, it helps.

also ride height will depend on rubbing as well.

also, my tires are 35 wall series. so that helps with preventing rubbing as well.
