will this wheel/tire combo fit? please help...

i have a 2004 G35 Coupe AT on stock 18s and stock suspension.

i'm lookin at this wheel/tire combo:
TSW Thruxton
19x8 with 245/35/19 for the fronts
19x9.5 with 275/35/19 for the rears
offset choice of 20, 35, or 40

now my question is, which offset should i go with to get the deepest lip possible while keeping the wheels flush with the fenders without rubbing or rolling of the fenders? can i run 245/35 on all 4 or will the rears be stretched?


thanks for any help guys!

Unless you are set on getting those wheels... I would look around, there are soo many more options out there with better sizes and offsets.

If you must... I would get +20 offset for both front and rear. Then, for nice fitment, I would add 15mm spacers front and rear. You may have to shave/roll your rear fenders if you use the spacers.

This is all coming from a sedan owner, so you should have someone verify this just to be sure its correct. From what I have seen from my coupe brethren, my advice seems like it should work out.

+20 on these wheels should be close to the same fitment as the oem coupe 19's.

FWIW, I have seen some coupes running 19x9.5 +17, and 19x10.5 +18.
So the sizes you are looking at (19x8, 19x9.5) with a +20 are very conservative.
With the right tires, and rolling my rear fenders, I can run those wheels in +35 on my sedan. ... just food for thought...
