Here's that same setup, you should be fine

Yes, those offsets are a bit easier for a coupe fit, and you may be able to run a 255/35 285/30 setup if you want a bit more tire.

how would work meisters S12P fit with 18x9.5 +22 on an 09 G37S Sedan with Akebonos? or what is the better offset with the work meisters (only looking at 2p)

Works can be tricky since they have the 3 disc depth choices, it's best to contact evasive motorsports or Rav spec and see which configuration is best. You typically want the most aggressive disc you can use w/ just a few mm caliper clearance so you get more of a deep dish look. The 9.5" is a good choice for a square setup, but if you want to run in-spec camber and not too much of a stretch w/ the tire I'd look at offsets closer to the +30 range. If you plan on running camber &/stretch then the +22 can work.
The great thing about those 2pc sets is getting any offset you want.
Look forward to seeing this come together.
These S1Rs in two tone bronze are sweetness!

So I'm currently trying to decide on a set of tires to get for my new wheels. Most likely going to get the G-MAX AS-03 as they seem to have good reviews on Tirerack.

Would you guys think it's better to swap my TPMS over from my stock 17" wheels to my new ones or just buy a new set of TPMS sensors? How would these TPMS work?

Check w/ member ChinkyChoy, he's run up to a 9.5 +25 on 245s and managed to make them work. You'd also have to confirm BBK fitment.

Not sure on TPMS compatibility but for tires might also consider Conti DWS, they get solid reviews.

I've also got my eye on cheap BBS RS-GT RS916/917,

18x8 +18
18x9 +18

Any idea how this would fit on my 09 G37 sedan with akebonos?

Use this calculator when trying various setups

If you still have your OEM wheels they should be 7.5 +45 Front 8.5 +50 Rear
So those new wheels would be 33mm further out in front and 38mm further out in back.

wheels

Just a quick fitment clarification question.


Looking at purchasing some wheels with the following specs:

19x9.5 +22 FRONT
19.10.5 +22 REAR

I have a 08 Coupe Sport package which means BBK. Now my plan was to run 245s and 275s in the rear but wasn't sure how it would fit with those offsets. Looking to avoid any rubbing. Any help is appreciated!

there also options with +12 Offsets but those are out of stock.

Here's a thread that may help, it's going to be tough, may have to run more of a stretched tire setup, and the +12s would be a no go for sure.

How would I find out if a +22 would clear my brakes? I had a guy tell me it would be better for me to get +12 which as you told me BLNewt would stick out about 10mm from the fender. I think I want to go with the +22 because I plan to drop it. I'd put spacers on if I need to. How do I know? Why is wheel choosing so damn hard! LoL

Send the caliper template to whoever has the wheels.

Choosing wheels is much easier if you go with a less aggressive fitment. Anytime you start getting real flush at the fender you typically need to make compromises~starting with running more camber, then running a narrow tire on a wider rim, then rolling fenders, then pulling fenders, then going wide body kits.
And if you have a Big brake kit that just adds another hurdle to clear literally.
Like Jumpman said, sending these templates to the seller will help (if they're decent enough to take the time to do that).
