Depends on the width but I believe the front is 8.5 +38. I'm not sure about the back though

If you are going with a 245/35 in the front you will be alot more likely to have rubbing issues. I would stick to the 245/30 man. Your offet will be less of an issue

I hear that 245/35s aren't an issue at all with the NF210s if I get the correct offset. Can someone please confirm that?

Also, how about the back wheels (275/30/20 - 10.5 width)?

See the thing is I don't want to get 25 series tires. That's too thin IMO. I want to get 30 minimum. I'm pretty sure I'm doing 45 offset in the back. As for the front, do you think 35 would be too aggressive if I'm going to be running the 30 series tire?

my wheel/tire combo was chosen in order to minimize the differences when compared to oem specs. the wheel calculator tells me this for my rear wheels:

When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 59.7mph (96.1km/h): 0.5% slower.

and that is as close to stock as you can get. now, i input your rear specs into the calculator with +45 offset, and it tells me this:

1) When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 61.9mph (99.7km/h): 3.2% faster.
2) Package is 15 mm (0.6'') closer to suspension/brakes components. Acceptable for most cars.
3) Package will stick out 15 mm (0.6'') farther. Acceptable for most cars.
4) Will fill out the wheelwell by extra 11 mm. Acceptable for most cars.

your odometer will be out (ignore if it doesn't bother you). otherwise, #2-4 you should be OK.

use this wheel calculator for your front, and you'll be able to figure out if its OK for you: http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp
