fronts you could get away with 15mm, BUT rears, 18 would be waaaaaaaaaay to far out, you would have to get the 40 and use a spacer.

so what kind of spacer would i need and where would i get it? do the spacers go by sizes? say if i want to get it to a 30 offset i would get a 10mm spacer? is that how it works.

I'd get the +18 in a heartbeat, but depending on which tire you run, you may need to roll the fender lip just a tad...

18 should be fine in the rear with the lip rolled. We've done as agressive as a 10.5 +22. That was at the edge. You should be fine.

Brad, depends on rim width. I've got 19x8 +21 and rod has even less offset with no problems.

We are still taliking about 19x8 +20, right?

Relative to our SEMA 350Z with 19x9.5 front, a 19x8 +20 is actually inboard 7mm (over 1/4") of what we had on the front of the LeMans Sunset car we built. This works EASILY!!

so an 18 will work in the back? i would roll the fender no problem
Compared with our 19x10.5 on the SEMA car, a 19x10 +18 is 6mm outboard of this (1/4"). I would have rolled the fenders on the 'Z in a heartbeat, but the car belonged to Nissan.
You'll be fine with fender rolling!!

Regards,
Bob

HRE, are you weary abot having the front wheels out that moch mre than stock. Mine are 10mm lower each....meaning I have 20mm higher scrub radius. Won't the steering be artificially heavy, and be suceptable to accesive bump steer?

Also, would running a 245/40/19 front, and 275/35/19 rear work (instead of the recomened and more accurate 245/35/19)?

I PMed you this as well.
