Default I'm confused like many others... Flame ON

Looking to buy TSW Nurburgring Gunmetal with Mirror Face wheels but I cannot figure out if I will be rubbing or do I need spacer's etc. I have an 09 stock Nismo, tires are, front 245/40R19, and rear 285/35R19 (stock tires), now the rims are 19x9.5 44 offset for the front and 19x10.5 27 offset for the rears. The guy selling the rims says that a 19x9 32 offset will be a better fit for the front without any rubbing issues. Anyone have any input for me on this?

you will definitely need spacers for front and and rear. i would do 20mm spacer on all 4 corners if i was you. the wheels will he super sunk in and look terrible otherwise.

Wow 20mm all around. I figured i'd need 15mm in the front and 20mm in the back. I'm pretty lost when it come to this type of thing. I just do not want it to look stupid.

And about getting flamed I figured i'd be bombarded with use the search button when in truth i feel like i've worn it out.

Basing it off my offsets, my wheels sit almost perfectly flush and my camber is stock spec. My front wheels are at +20 effective offset and +12 in the rear but there is a little bit more room on the rear so the +7 would be perfect on the rear.

This is the recommendation I was given on the TSW wheels:

19x9 +20
19x10.5 +27

Although the rear may need a spacer to get it "flush"

I would contact eric@getyourwheels.com for these wheels and the correct fitment.

He sells these and is very helpful with the proper fit.

I just answered your email. Hope it helps. You will need spacers, and I would use 20mm in back and 15mm in front. Also, get good spacers. I recommend the H&R spacers with longer lugs. They are also hubcentric which is the only way to go.

It shows the +20 offset is only available in the 5X120 bolt pattern. Nonetheless, the only reason the +27 is the recommendation for the 19X10.5 is because its the only offset its offered in in that size. Our cars for a 10.5" width are usually in a +10 or lower to keep make it flush. Like i said, the 20mm spacer on the rear would flush it up really nice.
