how do i measure the perfect offset?

[lightsout]

sup,

i've got a 00Maxima SE. with Tokico gas struts in front and Eibach 1.3" drop coils in front, and 1.0" drop in rear. Stillen front strut tower, and front and rear sway bars.

i'm an aggressive driver a couple times a week, but i don't race :-)

i'm running the Stillen 4 Piston Big Brake Kit.

I've got18x8J Milano rims with BFG G-force sports(245/40ZR18 93W)What does the "J" stand for in 18x8J?

I want the TSW Jarama: http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_jarama.php18x9.5" (rear, 2.75"lip depth)18x8" (front, 1.25" lip depth).=Do i need to get the fender lip rolled in the rear and go with a 255 Tire?=What offset should i run with the 2 sets of rim sizes to get the rim right at the edge of the fender(i don't mind rolling them)!?!!?

I also want to change my tires b/c I have the HARDEST time keeping the G-force balanced. I was looking at the Nitto Neogen ZR, and Falken FK 452. I haven't decided on the tires i want to run, but they will have to be purchased after i wear down the G-force tires properly.

thank you soo much...if you want a look at my rims just click on my profil link, and scroll down!!

thanks,Devin

What does the "J" stand for in 18x8J?

its in regards to the bead type, it's how the tire will sit on the wheel.

Just be patient, sometimes the people with the answers don't see it right away, I'd look thru the Maxima forum and see what the owners are doing in there. In my opinion a 19X9.5 with something north of a +30 offset should fit fine, maybe go lower and roll the fenders.

And starting two threads on the same thing is not necessary either so I'll lock this one for now.
