G37X Coupe in need of dish...

I picked up my G a little over two weeks ago and i have been on here doing research ever since. despite many searches and alot of reading im still having some trouble locating an offset/wheel size that will do a few things....

i have heard that 245's in front and 275's in the back are good but what i dont know is if thats true for AWD or not.

id like to bring the rims close to flush with the fenders (think eibach springs for a drop)

Think 18 or 19 im not a big fan of huge rims ( i grew up in a civic)

so with that said what could i use as far as an offset with no spacers?

thanks in advance for the input!

You can stagger, but you can only rotate side to side, then. The simple solution is to find the wheels you really like, and call the manufacturer to get the closest offset that suits your taste. If you really don't want spacers, that's your best bet.

Id perfer not to even remotely put my transmission in danger... im an engineer i know how much difference .001 of an inch can make but anyway....

I like to do my homework before buying anything(my step father allwas calls engineers masters of the tripple think), so id perfer to get some differing opinions and go from there before i bother a vendor with a bunch of questions.

id like to hear from some other X drivers with similar setups to what im looking for thank you! pictures would be great if anyone has any

It is diameter that matters not width for AWD.

perhaps its just a semantics issue, when i say stagger, im talking about 18's in the front 20's in the back. Chalk it up to local color. i have no issue running wider in the back.

OK I am out then because that is crazy talk. You would have to run some huge sidewals in the front and low sidewall in the rear for that to work. 100% chance of gheyness.

im about to just delete this thread because no one seems to actualy read what i post....

the only thing i asked was what offset will bring me flush witht he fender wells.

you all are arguing semantics with me. where i come from staggered means larger diameter in the front then the rear. and wider means fatter rims.

and kidcane i never said i wanted to run larger rims in the back, i just want fatter flusher tires and rims of the same damn diameter, width doesnt matter as long as its flush.....

im at a loss with you guys how to make this any more clear.
