I have a set of 18x8 +30 Gram Lights I want to run on my X. Wondering if I can run that low of an offset and not rub? I am not lowered nor do I plan to be. Seems like people who are dropped 1" or more run a +35 offset and a little skinnier tire to clear if they aren't going to roll/pull fenders.

Anyone on here running a +30 offset all around?

whoops... so you have a sedan. I think that sounds about right but go on the tire size calculator thread http://forums.g35club.org/zerothread/350713 and double check with that.

you will be fine as long as you run the proper tire size. a 245/45/18 will rub in the rear if lowered. you need a 245/40 or 235/45/18.

That's what I figured. I thought a +30 would be ok, just needed to know what tire to run IF I were to be lowered. At most I would do 350z spring, but that's doubtful if an affordable shock replacement doesn't come out.
