Default 2 quick tire/rim questions

First thing first, i want to get new rims. im eyeing the Axis Milano's in F 19x8.5 and R 19x9.5. Thing is, the only offset i can find +15, +35, +45. I know the last two are out, but is +15 too low? The rear is +20.

Also, could i fit 285/35-19 on the rear (even tho they are 9.5 wide)?? Its on stock suspension so i know i wont rub.

Thanks in advance.

285/35 on a 19 with a +20 may or may not be ok it's certsaonly going to throw alignment way off, even on stock suspension (you'll have lots of toe in)

Up front, a +15 will work with an 8.5 just understand the negatives of moving the wheel and tire so far outward too - the biggest downside is the car tramlines much worse (follows all the grooves in the road), and you'll have increasd stressed being placed on all your suspension components and bushings

You could use a offset calculator, and compare your present to new wheels. With the new numbers, you could check the car with a tape. Do you clear the calipers and fenders? But it is a headache to do it yourself.

For the MIlano's you would want a +15 offset front & +20 offset for the rear on a Z.
For my taste I like the rear 275/35/19....almost certain to be free of any problems. 245/35/19 front. Some dealer's have the Milano's (now being discontinued) overpriced.
