another offset question sedan

ok guys new here, just picked up a g sedan. looking at upgrading wheels. now i've searched not real sure about the answer but what is the lowest offset on wheels i can go without having to roll fender, i hate rolling fenders its a pain.

wheels im looking at are 8 inch and 9 inch. im actually looking at 18 adr m sport but would like to run the lower offset one. so question is 18x8 and 18x9 offset 30 do i need a roll?

How low are you, what tire size are you running. Those questions need to be answered.

hey umm not try to ruin ur goal or anything, just wanna give u some advice that might help you, but i would stay away from the ADR brand wheels, save ur money man, same gose for "stern wheels"...crap...heavy and will start fading fast

but you do what you want man, just my $.02

good luck!

thanks i know all about the lack of quality of the adr and stern wheel lines. but for what i need the wheels to be (wheels for daily driving with craters for potholes) i think they will work. if the finish starts fading then i would prolly just get them coated.

suspension i plan on going 350z revised suspension. so just a 1 inch drop all around. not sure what tire size i need. so 18x9 30 offset i will be ok?

Then ADR are NOT the wheels you want. I can bet you your car you will crack or bend an ADR wheel if you hit anything bigger bigger than an inch.

Buy Axis wheels if you're going budget wheels.

'...what is the lowest offset on wheels i can go without having to roll fender?'

I have the stats for 19inch size wheels if you decide to go that big.

* FRONT: 19x8.5 +38
* REAR: 19x9.5 +45
* Only 1inch drop all around on 350z springs.

The back wheels are as close as you are going to get without rolling fender, fronts are perfect too.

That will work.

You gotta stagger a little if you don't want 9s then at least do 8" and 8.5"
