Default Offsets, tires sizes for GT-C 20"

I tried searching, but apparently I didn't enter the correct terms as I'm sure this has been asked before...

I'd like to try the GT-C 20" but I don't need so much rubber or it so wide that it needs the fenders rolled (even if I lower the car a bit, maybe 1"). So I'm looking for "safe sizes" of rim width (front & rear) and tires rather than "Yeah, go with 11.5's in the back and 325 rubber!"

Jeff, what about (again safe) for GT-C 19" - from looking at the picture in the other thread, I don't think 20's are needed.

The 20x10.5 +22et will work but you must do fender work if your car is lowered. We have already installed a set and had to do fender work..it was lowered on TEIN STECH springs

the following applications are also available

20x8.5 +26
20x9.5 +20

more conservative of a fitment

i think face 1 is flat and face 2 is concave (meaning the spokes are kinda on an angle)

That caught my eye as well, but far as I could tell it was just the two different wheels sizes (widths). Like 9.5 vs. 10.5 (a bit deeper dish).

Not that the fenders are the same as the Z, but what are the tire sizes? My neighbor has a G35 with 20's (not sure what rim) and it is lowered, no fender rolling, etc, but the cars are not the same I realize.

The tires are 255/35/20 in the front and 285/30/20 in the rear

most fitments are 245/35/20 275/30/20 if its 20" and 19" is 245/35/19 275/35/19

I think I'm more confused as to exactly what to get than before I started looking. At least then I thought I knew what I wanted.

I looked closer at the fenders (front and rear) and it seemed that if rolling had to be done, it would only be on the back correct? The fronts seemed pre-rolled heh.
