Offset ???'s. Advice Please.
What's the possibility that a 19"x7.5" wheel with a +45 offset will fit on a 5th gen Max? Do any of you wheel guru's forsee any rubbing issues? It seems like I always get myself into this. I ran into the same problem when I picked up my set of G35C's. I had some rubbing issues because of the rear wheel drive offset (+30). I'm currently on Tein S-Tech's, but will probably be getting coilovers shortly. Now I may be going the other way. I just ran into a guy selling a set of 19" RH C2's ( 3piece ones) for fairly cheap. If they'll fit with no problems, then I may consider picking them up.

When you say "push them out," are you refering to using wheel spacers? Are there any down falls to using spacers? I just don't want to damage anything. What exactly is the optimum offset for a 5th gen Max?

You can use 5mm spacers but anything bigger, you'll need longer studs.

Yes using 5mm spacers on a 45mm offset would give you a 40mm offset

Honestly, the best option would be to find wheels at least 8" wide, and then use an offset between 35-42mm.
There's no point in fitting the car around some wheels, just get wheels that fit in the first place. Spacers should be used as a last resort, in case you order wheels before consulting someone knowledgeable in that area, or when you already have a set of wheels and suspension or brake components are changed and no longer have clearance.

Thought I would ride the wave of offset questions:
Am I asking for trouble with a 19x8.5 with 20mm offset and 245/35-19's? I can get a great deal on Alessio F1's intended for G35/350Z but want to put them on a '02 Max. My car's not lowered yet but I'm leaning toward Maxspeed springs. What do you guys think?
