no way

For 8.5 up front, a +35 is max from my understanding.

For the rear, a 10 will work, but that's pushing it...you'll need +45 offset I think.

Most recommend 9.5 with a +45....

+1

And to fit a 10" +45 you still may have to roll your fenders.

+1 will definately need to roll fenders. Just rolled my fenders on my 2nd G cuz the rears were rubbing on any good size speed bump or dip and my car isn't even lowered.

Yup yup. Figured since I loved my old G which was the base model I'd try and find one with better trim and I did. So now my G won't be the red headed step child without leather LOL. Finished rolling my fenders earlier today. Gonna buy some springs and we'll see which direction I go from there.

there is a great chart on the first page of the sedan picture compilation sticky thread. It shows width/offset in relation to fender and suspension...I would check it out for shure if you are considering offset choices.

also has anyone confirmed the accuracy of this chart?

you mean this one:


I assume these fitments were made on a stock suspension. I can tell you from experience that it's not completely correct. According to the chart a +38 8.5" is outside of the front fenders, but mine are kinda tucked. Agian a +45 9.5" is suppose to stick outside of the rear, but mine is perfectly flush. The chart isn't reallt that great, someone needs to redo it...maybe I will when I have time...but then agian, a good search should solve offset questions.

Yes, I've seen this chart too... I have 9.5" rear (+48) and they are just inside the fender line. They are 19" wheels and they don't rub - no rolling required.
(Edit - Offset on the rears is +48 not +43 as first posted)
