Advan RS wheels. Width/Offset?

Looking to get Advan RS 19"s for my G37S Coupe.

Not sure what width to go with, although I'm feeling 9.5 front, 10 rear. Is that overkill?

I just want it to be flush with the fenders, not poking out like crazy.

A) What are good offsets for front/rear in this case?
B) How about tires? Front/Rear?

Thanks!

I had 9+25 F/10+25 R with 245/275 tires and it was perfect. Could've gone a bit lower but it was low enough for my taste and the roads around here.

Pictures are worth 1000 words right? Here's a couple so you can see what my old setup looked like.

Wow! Thanks so much! Gee I've been looking all over for more examples but lacking pics heavily haha.
That looks great but would you happen to have a shot from the rear fender straightforward? I'd like to see how it lines up with the rear fender line.

Also I see that you have Akebono brakes. Did it have any problem w/ fitment against the RS wheels?

Edit: Wait, do the Akebono's come stock on IPLs or newer model coupes? I have an '08 so I have no idea. Thought they were aftermarket for some

I think the Akebonos were first offered on the S coupes in 08.

BTW OB G, sweet looking ride

Oh wow
So you're saying that my stock brakes on my '08 Coupe is Akebono? (I never knew what brand it was) It just has "Infiniti" on it over silver paint.
That's why I was inquiring about these RED "Akebono"s I'm seeing around :O

infiniti justs puts their name on the brakes but akebono manufacturers them, so when people customize their calipers they tend to use the "akebono" sticker instead of putting "infiniti" back on it.

These are RS's or RZ? Sometimes it's hard to tell.
