The OFFICIAL "I have a wheel offset / tire fitment question!" thread
Yes all my offsets are the same. I measured it looks like I've got nearly exactly 2.5" from the middle of my tire to the fender and somewhere around 2-2.25" from the outside of the tire to the fender. Thoughts?
I know I mentioned this already and just to be clear I defer to your experience Brad but the tire dudes at Sears pulled out there tire size books and did a bit of measuring too. I may have misunderstood them and perhaps you can explain it better to me than they did....but it sounded like they told me that the 275/30/20 is as close to the same all around size I'm running now on the car. As far as height of the tire it kept me right at the same measurement (28.8 if I remember correctly). They considered suggesting 265's as well, but that was before they did the measuring. They sent me on my way with 3 EXTREMLY HIGH quotes on 3 different tires. Good thing they agreed to a price match policy or there's no freakin way I'd be going with them.

go ahead and mess w/ this site a bit, plug in all the current data from your wheels & tires (and if you know your fender and wheel well clearance) and then plug in the new tire size and you'll be able to visualize what's going on.
If you have room for a square sidewall to go up into your wheel well then the 275s may work, If you look straight down from teh top of your hood/fender and your wheels are poking outside the fender edge then the wider tires may not work
Play w/ this awhile and see what you think

Volk Racing GT30 Question: I'm currently on eibach springs.
So from simple searches it seems like this is my ideal set up:
Front: 20x9.5 +35
Reat 20x10.5 +37
But the wheel has been discontinued and some one has these for sale, Would this work or be too aggressive?
Front: 20x9.5 +23
Rear: 20x10.5 +24

Should fit but might run 265s in back for a little more room at the fender. This assumes you have the coupe, if you have the sedan, it will be too aggressive for sure.
and running 255s in front you'd be inside of Simpsons setup by 13mm
Should be a good fit IMO.

Looking at the Gram Lights 57 Transcend with a square set up but different offsets (same as G37x NYC). Will the following set up work? I will be lowering the car with Swifts.
19x9.5 +38 (Front)
19x9.5 +25 (Rear)
19x9.5 +38 (Front)
19x9.5 +25 (Rear)
XS coupe will be fine, XS Sedan will poke. What tires are you planning?
I have a 19x8 et35 wheel for the front, will a 245/40/19 tire look right? Its for a G37 Sedan Sport.

okay finally back on here ready to get rid of my christmas tree of a dash. i have 19x9.5 rear wheels with 275/35 tires and 19x8.5 fronts with 225/35 tires in front. (wasnt my set up lol. bought it like that) now my question is, what front tires should i get to match the diameter of my rears? 245/35? and also, how much does a normal tire shop charge to swap TPMS from my stocks to the new wheels? Thanks in advance guys.

Tire shop shouldn't charge too much for your TPMS swap, probably another $40 give or take.

Are the tires you have in good shape? If so changing the fronts to a 235/40 or 245/40 will work. The 235s are a bit shorter than the 275s so your diameter variance will get closer over time which is good if you have the AWD X. If you have a RWD then it really doesn't matter which front you run between those two.
