Need your help on offset and tire width

I have a 01 maxima and im currently looking a set a rims. Depending on the info I collect will be the ultimate decision on the route i'll go. D will be 17 or 18 and W will range from 9.5 to 10.5
D = Diameter rim
W = Width of the rim
We will go backwards as I am looking to get the widest setup, but do correct me if I have to go smaller than what i stated. I am aware that I may have to go back to stock height for my ballsy idea of running 255s or 275s Or little higher than stock height?. I say go back, because spacers is a no go for me. Now my problem lies on offset, I do understand that on my stocks 16 that it is 45mm, correct me if i'm wrong. Positive offset meaning it's further from the car and negative meaning it closer, correct? So as I stated what would I need to do far as offset to run 18x10.5 with 275s or 17x10.5 with 275s with no rubbing. If it cannot be done then we will drop the configurations down to 18x10 with 265 and so forth

Thank you for your time.

What is your ride height at the moment?


You may be able to go that wide but will likely have to drop down a size or two sidewall wise (depends on ride height, tire brand, offset, fender work).
