Unhappy Which set of offsets???

My car is a G35 w/o Brembos.

Here is my configuration

19x8.5 front 245/35/19
19x9.5 rear 275/35/19

My offset choices are:

+25 front
+31 rear

+31 front
+37 rear

+31 front
+43 rear

The first set of offsets is similar to the Nismo wheel configuration, however I do not plan to alter my suspension. So, I don't know if this would cause any problems. The second set of offset would allow me to extend 5mm in the front and 12mm in the rear. The third of set would allow me to extend the wheels more evenly with 5mm in front and 6mm in rear. Would either of the later two cause any suspension problems? Which set would you choose?

I agree, I have the "G" with Brembos, and the Nismos. The offsets are perfect. I would not want the wheels in (or out for that matter) any further. Remember, the stock 18x8" wheels are +30 both front and rear. The Nismos fill up the wheel opening much better than the stock one's did due to the added wheel width, and the added front offset.

It will definitely look better with the 25 / 31 as the wheels will be pushed out farther towards the corners. More aggressive looking for sure.

I noticed on Courtesy Nissan parts website. They state the Nismo wheels are for Zs w/o VDC. Will the 25/31 offset interfere with the VDC?
