Question I'm about to purchase either 18x8.5 or 19x8.5 Volk TE37's what offset should I get

If I decide on 18x8.5 F+R what offset should I get front (+22 or +30) and rear (+22 or +30). If I decide to get 19x8.5 F+R what offset should I get front (+22, +29, +30, or +35) and rear (+22, +29, +30, +35)? BTW, I drive a 03 non-brembo G35C. Thanks for your help !

+22. Why not get a staggered set up of either 8.5/9.5 or 9.5/10.5?

.....but only if you do minimum 255/285/35 series tires on them. If you dont want to run roll or cut your rear fenders then just do a 8.5/9.5 +22 with the normal 245/275 combo. I hate when guys spend extra money on the wider set-up and then run undersized strecthed tires on them. <----just my opinion

Will I rub with +22 F+R? I'm actually trying to balance the handling of the car (less understeer) and driving with the tail out does not intimidate me at all. This leads to my second question. What are the max. and min. tire widths I can use with a 8.5" wide wheel? Thanks for the help!

Also does anyone have pics of the 8.5f/9.5r staggered setup? How much do the 18x8.5, 18x9.5, 19x8.5 & 19x9.5 wheels weigh? I know they will weigh less than my OEM 18" wheels (they weighed 25lbs on my scale after I dismounted the tires ). Thanks again!

I know stock touring Z wheels are 26.5lbs each, not sure about the G35C wheels (I guess about 25lbs ). But the 18x8.5 and 9.5 will be between 17 and 18 lbs and the 19x8.5 will be between 19 and 20 lbs. At least this is what I have been told
