Ok, so they're saying that 19x10 wheels with 285/?/19 tires need to have an offset of +32-+35 to fit a 350Z? If so, they are wrong. People have used wider wheels with more agressive offsets. (19x10.5, 19x11, +17, +12, etc).

Search the fat tire thread.

Discount tire is just being conservative but they are correct.

I ordered 19x10.5 +22 wheels with 285/35/19 for the rear of my car and all I would need is a mild fender roll. If our wheels are similar in construction and design (TE37 for me), then your wheels would theoretically be sunk in around 12mm more than mine (since your wheels are half an inch skinnier) with your tires sticking out roughly about the same way (since both are 285s). This means you probably will need a slight fender roll. It will fit, but a slight roll might be necessary considering different tires have different actual widths.

This belongs in Wheels/Tires and doesn't require two threads.

+1 on Discount Tire giving a conservative recommendation

thanks, the guy that worked for some reason was trying so hard to steer me away from the getting the wheels with +22 offset, but i will get them anyway with 285/35/19...since this is your profession you think if i go 18x8 245/40/18 in the front would ruin some performance(handling)?
