Question about the offset

Hello, I just purchased a set of wheels and I have a question regarding the offset.

I know that the rear will not have an issue but I am little concerned with the front. The front is 8.5 inch with 35 offset and the rear is 9.5 inch with 36 offset. Do I need to have a spacer in the front?

Also, I am looking to buy either G-MAX AS-03 or Ecsta LX Platinum (The size would be 225/45/19 and 245/40/19).

I have searched both of the tires and they both seem to be good. I would just like to get more opinions on it.

Thank you!

Your best bet is to put the wheels on as-is and just decide after seeing them on the car whether or not you want spacers and how large to go.

Thank you for the information. I am just worry about the clearance between the brake and wheel. I guess I have to put the wheel and see how much clearance I have.

Do you know how much clearance akebono needs?

Thanks!

Offset doesn't determine whether or not wheels will clear the brake calipers. What wheels? What disc?

I have the General G-Max on my beater (Maxima). Decent so far but not a performance tire in any sense. I'd never put them in my G.

Thank you for the reply!

The wheels are Volk GT-V. I am uncertain what disc it is... (This is going into the sedan).

EDIT: I found it from a website that it is a high disc.

Anyone has any ideas?

I have searched online and according to the rays site it wouldn't clear but some people put similar volk wheels without any spacer (the website said the following, "The INSET A in the size table denote models matching big calipers of SKYLINE (excluding CKV36)")

Anyways, thanks for reading this and help.
