With either an offset of +35 or +22 what tires can I fit and will I need spacers,camber kit? I am lowered on BC coil overs Right now. Appreciate the help Fam this is my first car I'm actually really going all out for and want to do things right the first time(:
8.5 front and 10.5 rear is a little too much of a stagger, a better fit would be 9 or 9.5 front and 10.5 rear. I would go with the higher offset on a sedan, no spacers needed. 245 up front and 275 in the rear would be a good tire size.

Yeah, that 8.5/10.5 is quite a bit of stagger. Just for fit, my RWD G is running 9.5+38 all around and you can see the wheels (not the tires) are very flush. https://www.myg37.com/forums/18/2765...ml#post4044919 For the Work Kiwami I'd run possibly a 8.5 +25 on a 245/40/19 front Evasive Motorsports | PH: 626.336.3400 Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm PST: Work Kiwami Wheel - 19x8.5 / 5x114.3 / Offset +25 (Semi Concave Face) And a 9.5+38 in back running 275/35/19s Evasive Motorsports | PH: 626.336.3400 Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm PST: Work Kiwami Wheel - 19x9.5 / 5x114.3 / Offset +38 (Deep Concave Face) Unfortunately they don't make a great offset for sedans in a 10.5 , the best you can do is a 10.5 +32, and those wheels would be about 17mm further out than mine (and mine are already about 3mm outside the fender edge). If you went with those you'd have to run a stretch 255 tire and possibly some extra camber.

The works Kiwamis were my first choice but the work D9R I'm leaning more towards to so see the higher the offset the more it sticks out? Or??

Higher offset is further from the fender, further the hub is away from the center of the wheel

The lower the offset, the more it will poke outside the fender.

A really high offset. 285 is rather wide for a sedan.

Damn 295 !? That's sexy lol from all your guys input I think I finally got my formula I'll go with 245/40 up front and in the rear I think 275? With a +30 offset I want a nice lip on my works! How was the ride with 295?

Your offsets are still too aggressive for a sedan without any fender work or camber. You can run the 9.5 +38 without problems, that's what I run on mine. I could run at least a 255 in front and a 275 in back on those 9.5s If you stick to 9.5 +38 all around you'll be fine. If you need that 10.5+30 in back you will have to run a stretched tire like a 255 in back. You CAN run the 9.5 +30 all around too, the wheels will poke about 11mm outside the fenders but with 245s in front they'll tuck ok. FWIW, the 295s rode great, well planted feel. I will probably go wider when the time comes for new tires, maybe up to a 265 all around if I can squeak them in

On your G the fenders in back are already flat-rolled, the fronts are semi-rolled, they come in at about a 45 degree angle, so rolling the fronts is pretty easy for any competent body shop, this will gain about 6-8mm of clearance under full compression. You really don't want to pull the fenders, it rarely looks very good, and most of the time it looks very poor.

Hey guys does anyone know if I can run 19x9.5 +25 with 215/35 and 19x10.5 +25 245/35 on my awd sedan? Will it cause issues? Do I need to run same tire size all around?
