ok 2S2BF,

For good and safe no fender rolling and problems, you can go:
FRONT: 19x8.5 +28 (Big Caliper Disk)
REAR: 19x10 +23 (Deep Rim Disk)


Now if you want to go HUGE lip and roll your fenders you can go:
FRONT: 19x9 +21 offset (Big Caliper disk)
REAR: 19x10.5 +17 offset (Deep Rim Disk)
This is very aggressive and you will need to use 275/30 or 275/35 in the rears only. The lip of the rim will be exactly aligned with the rear fender. The Front is fine and just use a 245/35 or 255/35 tire.

I would suggest going the safe route but if you want crazy and have huge lips you can go the aggressive route, it just limits you to what tires to get.

Good Luck and I hope this helps...

BTW the pic of the G35 you have on your post are not WORK VS-XX rims, those are AXIS Super Mesh. I have a friend here who has the WORK VS-XX rims on a black G35 Coupe and they are night and day difference from the AXIS SM.

I have the Work VS-XX. The size of my wheels & tires are:

Wheels size =
Fronts: 19x9.5 w/ +28 offset
Rears: 19x10.5 w/ +29 offset

Tire size =
Fronts: 245/35
Rears: 275/35

My car has a 1" drop all around and didn't have to roll any fenders.

I didn't know much about wheels and offset when I got my wheels. I found a high end/reputiable shop that suggested me my setup and had them setup everything, couldn't be more happy. I suggest you go find a reputiable automotive/wheels shop around your area and get some suggestions/expert advise before you do anything. Goodluck!!


Here's a picture of mine:

From your previous post, If you decide to get a wide bodykit in few months, the wheels you get now will not look right with the wide bodykit. 20x10 and 20x12 would fill the wide fenders and rear quarter panels.

Do you have brembos? Just curious...
I have Work Meister S2R (which is same fitment as VS-SS I think, not sure about VS-XX).

But anyways, I have 8.5"/+25mm up front and 9.5"/+20mm out back. I think both are Work's Deep Dish style. (That's why I asked if you have brembos). I don't have any issues whatsoever rubbing, etc, and didn't need to roll fenders. The shop said that F+25/R+20 was Work's recommended fitment, for my wheels.

Thanks... I've been debating whether or not to get a widebody since the only two out are the TS kit or the Veilside... and neither seem to fit my taste after researching them further well.... at least not as much as before...

Right now, I'm stuck between either going with these wheels + TS front(already have) + rear mudguards + kenstyle skirts(if i can find them) + saving the rest for a TT setup in the future or just going widebody (probably Veilside) + these wheels....

I figure either way will set me back $$ nearly the same, All show and no go, or get blown?? I figure this will be the extent of how much I am willing to spend on my car since I still have other stuff to worry about anyways...

Oh and yeah I have Brembos..... btw thanks for the advice guys...
