The offset is +40mm, i can pick them up at a great price but need to know if they would work.

18x10's will go on the rear of the car for sure, as far as the offset I'm not to sure about that....might have to check a search on that. I got 25 or 30 offset in the back i forget which one and I got plenty of space.

first off i believe it depends on whether you have a sedan or coupe, the coupe can fit the 10" in the rear no problem and it will be flush. In the front will be about 9" no problem, on the sedan though, the front will only take about 8.5" with the front running 9", this is all with no modifications necessary (i.e. no rolling of fedrs or pulling of fenders needed.)

I don't have the car just as yet, i'm still searching for the right coupe with the 6speed and color i like. Tired of drivin my '05 4x4 in the city, so as soon as i sell or trade i'll get the car i realy want. Here's a question, has anyone staggerd wheels from 18 rear and 17 front.....how would that look?

With that offset, the rear wheel will be NO WHERE near flush. To give you an idea, they're only going to extend outward 15mm over stock. And, you're going to lose 35mm of inner clearance.

To give you an idea, look at the pictures of my car. My rear wheels aren't as flush as I'd like them to be (19x9.5 +24). Those wheels would stick inward by 10mm. So, no where near flush.

If the car comes stock with the 19's and you drop down to an 18"x10...you can do a 2" lip in the front with an 18x8 and 4" lip in the rear with a 18x10". The stock tire diameter is 26.8" on the 19. To come close on the 18x10", you need either a 285-40-18 which is 27" or 265-40-18 which is 26.3. It all depends on the look you want. I currently have 265-35-18 on the car now and the profile is too low for me. I want to get back to original tire diameter so I am going with the 285-40-18" when these wear out. I am running the 18x10's on the rear.

I just have a question for you. What do you want such a large size tire for? I have a sedan so I can't answer your question but I was just wondering if you're going to get a supercharger or a turbo because it seems like unless you do get one then you would just be adding unneccesary weight. I don't think a stock coupe would really need wheels and tires that wide. I'm not sure about this though. What does everyone else think? I have 18x8.5's all around on my G sedan.

I have an '07 G35X Sedan and considering a set of 19's. I was hoping to fun 19x8.5 and 19x10 . If I stagger, I can't fit 19x10's? Only on the coupes? Glad I read this post before purchasing! Thanks.
