need help with wheel/tire question..

Well I'll be straightforward, I dont really know much about tire/wheel size. This will be the first time I've actually gotten new wheels/tires...so bear with me please!

Alright, I'm wanting to go for 19" Work Rezax II rims for my Z, and I was figuring 19x8.5 Front then 19x9.5 Rear...first of all, does that sound like it will work for the Z without having to do any fender work, or suspension work?

And then tire size..what would you all recommend? I was looking at Falken GR Beta 451's, 245/35/19 front 275/30/19 rear...will that setup work with the wheels?

Also what exactly is offset? I hear it all the time, but never really knew what it is...

here is a link to a site that has the wheels, with some of the offsets listed...

any help is VERY much appreciated in advance

you can read about offsets on my website, or in the sticky notes at the top of this forum.

245-35-19 is taller than a 275-30-19 so you dont want to do that. Ideal is 245-35-19 & 275or285-35-19 for your rear.
