Wheel fitment

Ok, ok, before anyone says to use the search button, I have been reading for hours and there is no real consensus.
I have a 2012 G37S coupe. I am looking at a set of TSW wheels that are 19X8 and 19X9.5 F/R and both have a +40 offset. I may be lowering on Eibach springs and this is my daily driver.
I need opinions on these offsets?

At stock height those offsets are pretty good, when you drop it you may want a bit less positive offset to get fitment closer to flush (If that's the fit you're after). Dropped on Eibachs I'd shoot for 19x8 +30 on 245/40/19s front and 19x9.5 +30 on 285/35/19 or 275/35/19

Thanks for the info. I'm going to order 10mm spacers along with the wheels. I'll post pictures when the wheels are on.

With an Eibach drop those are very high offsets. What I would suggest you do is one of 2 things. 1. Either go with a 19x9.5 +25 all around with a 245/40/19 tire up front and a 275/35/19 rear, or try to find a wider rear something like a 19x10 or 19x10.5 with a +30 or +35 and use the wider tire size on the back. This will give you a flush look with the natural camber that comes with the drop. Also since you have a coupe it is wider front and back so it will accommodate a more aggressive fitting. Let me or Brad aka blnewt know if you need any help picking offsets

Double check me here guys. If a +40 is tucked in too far with our without the drop, the spacers will push them out more right?

Yep, if you want your wheel to stick out 20mm more you'd add a 20mm spacer. As your wheel pushes further out the offset gets less positive, so a +20 offset sticks out 20mm more than a +40. Hope that makes sense.
