HELP! 38MM offset, 19"x8.5",255/40ZR19

Need to know if this combo will be ok on a non lowered 2003 Maxima.
38mm offset 19"x8.5" wheel with 255/40zr19 rubber.
Thanks! This forum is great for idiots like me that can't figure stuff like this out!
Best,
Chris

Definitely OK if you're not planning to lower your Maxima.

edit: For 8.5" wide wheels, I'd really recommend getting 245 series tires.

245/40 should also work on a modest drop with no rubbing (i.e. no Tein S.Tech's if you're running the 40 series)

I forgot to mention that his speedo will be off by about 3%, which is ok for me.

Thats exactly what I'll be running. 245/40 with 19x8.5" wheel. I have ground controls so height is not a concern.
