non-staggered rims with staggered tires on g35 coupe?

however, can i run a set of non-staggered rims on a g35 coupe?
i will plan to run staggered tires tho..

225/45/18 (F) and 245/45/18 (R)

thanks you.

you can run staggered tires on correctly sized nonstaggered wheels, but I wouldn't recommend it in this case. 225 is too narrow for a 9" wheel IMO

Yes, the OEM 18" wheels for the coupe are non-staggered, but the tires are. Also agree that 225 is too small for a 9" wheel.

so i should run something like 235 (F) and 265 (R)?

so 225 & 245 should just be for 8 or 8.5?

alrighty..

i don't want to start another thread just to ask will these fit and clear bbk yet, hopefully people can also answer me these questions here.

so i know its not the offset that clears the brembo bbk, but the style of the rims. so these are the styles i'm looking into. can you guys let me know if it would fit based on the style, offset, size, etc.

thanks

245-255 front, 265-275 rear on 18x9 +30 wheels.
BTW, the +30 will be very close to the front Brembo. You may need a 2mm shim-spacer depending on the concavity of the wheel. You may choose to run a spacer in the rear to push the wheels out some as well - your choice but not necessary for rear Brembo fitment.
