Smile Volk GT-Cs w/24mm offset on a G37?

Was wondering if the rims on my 35 will fit a 37 that isn't dropped?
Fronts are 19x8.5 and rears are 19x9.5. Offset is 27 in the front and 24 in the rear.

Well, if you have sport wheels, your looking at the front sticking out 19mm further (.75").
In the rear, You'll stick out and extra 32.25mm (1.27")
I would think this would fit fine, but I'm no expert.

if so, then they should fit. 9.5 +24 and 10.5 +34 would fit exactly the same, am i correct?

9.5/2=4.75-.95(24mm)=3.8"
10.5/2=5.25-1.34(34mm)=3.91"
so almost exactly. Again, I'm no expert but I believe the drop has something to do with fitment too, i.e. if the drop causes a little negative camber it would actually help the fit. I have seen pics of DKangs car b/c its one of the cars that made me choose the GTCs and I believe his rear neg camber helps those huge 10.5s fit with no rubbing...?

I'm kind of a newb when it comes to wheel offset, but can you explain why you divided by 2 when coming up with your measurements?

the front rims are narrower so he decided to go with a different offset to have an aggressive fitment in the front and rear..

The numbers I came up with were how far the wheel would stick out from the hub. Offset is how far from the center of the rim the mounting surface is. If you had zero offset on an 8 inch wheel, the mounting surface would be right in the middle and the wheel would stick out 4" from the hub. If your offset was 1", the wheel would stick out 3". Make sense?

BTW, I'm running 8.5/26 front and 9.5/22 rear, so your rears should fit easier than mine.
