Offset no good?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAYA-...1%7C240%3A1318


The offset on these wheels seems to have them tucking too much for a G37, mind you I have just the Journey Premium so I don't have as many brake clearance issues. But I'm more so used to seeing offsets like 30 and 35 for our vehicles, correct? These wouldn't look right fit wise on a G37?

Those are the same exact offset as my STM's. They fit but I had to dial the camber in a bit in the rear to avoid rubbing and make them fit.

Remember that with offsets, the lower you go the further they stick out.

Well these are Maya's so it would probably be similar. I see so et 20 stick out farther than et 35. I was backwards on this. It says fitment for G35 or 350Z which isn't too far off from a Journey G37 for sizing. Maybe I'll stop by and check them out since he's local. With a seller feedback of 4, I ain't paying anything until I see the wheels in person.

isnt the lower you go, the more it sticks in? a more negative camber.

^^No. Think about it. A +29 sticks out a bit and needs neg camber while a +45 would be tucked under the wheels well.

without neg camber, the rear will rub, if you drop your car, it will rub more.

If the width is 10.5, ideal offset is +37 max, anything more agressive will rub

Typical rear offset is about a ET 40 then? What is a typical front offset that can work with something such and Eibachs or Tanabe?
