Whats the widest wheel/tire i can get away with on my 95 j30? Offset? I havent decided yet but i want to go with either 18" staggered width wheels with a deep lip or stock g35 wheels. Would wheels with mustang offsets fit? For example 18x8.5-9.5 with 20-25 offset.

You could run an 8.5 with 37mm offset, i dont really see any reason to go much wider than that.

I just love the look of wide wheels with a deep lip.

You could run any offset close to 0 if you roll the fenders. If you go about 8.5 in the rear, I would think anything from +20-0 offset should be fine.

I found a wheel i like that comes in 18x8.5 with two offsets, +13 and +35. Would i be able to get away with putting the +13 on the back and +35 on the front? or would either work all around? I understand you guys might not be able to give me a definitive answer, just hoping sombody has done it with similar offsets.

No.. put the 35s on there, it will fit perfect... 13s woudl be UGLY on the j30, theyd stick out like low rider wheels... not good!
