+22 with 275s at any lower than I am right now and it WILL rub. I think a 275 should fit just fine with a higher offset and will still look awsome...

Main problem for me was this wheel was only available in this offset at this size...I'm rolling in the front fenders tomorrow so we shall see how it all works out. I'm still debating on going with a 265 for the front because the current setup leaves the front about 12mm taller than the rear and I wanted the height to be ~equal. I double checked and if I do that it will be identical heights..

you want to be careful with tires, and keep the difference between front and and rear diameters close to stock or the traction control/vdc will act up, at least it did on the 350Z

the stock set up has the rear overall diameter slightly bigger than the front by about 5mm so you definitely dont want to go taller in front

I have a slightly taller front. The difference in height front to back is the same as stock just reversed, the VDC is working fine in all conditions.

I also have a 275 up front on the stock 9" at stock offset and there is plenty of clearance. A 9.5" on the same center line shouldn't be a problem. I think Danny's is just rubbing because of the low offset pushing the wheel out too far.
