Rims sagging when lowering on coilovers?
Hey all,
I am looking to change my wheel setup from stock in the spring. I will lower on bc racing coilovers and I am trying to figure out which wheel offset will give me a flush or close to flush fit to the fender. When doing some crude measuring it seems that most normal offsets offered for aftermarket wheels will cause my tires to stick out and I will need 35 or higher offset to make it flush which. My question is will somehow lowering the car cause the stockies to lean inwards therefore allowing for a shallow offset when putting on aftermarket rims? or is it normal for G37's to require 35-45 offsets to avoid excessive poke?
I might be completely out to lunch on this hence why I couldn't find any info on it. Thanks in advance!
Additional info:
Car - 2010 g37x coupe
Stock set - 18x8 +43 (225/50/18)
Potential sizes - 18x9.5 +? (255/45/18) squared OR 19x9.5 +? (245/40/19) squared

Matt, here's a great example here as it will show you what to expect~
He's running 19x9.5 +20 on a 255/35 tire, you can see the wheels are a bit outside the fenders but the tires are tucking into the fender. This is a bit more aggressive than I suspect you're wanting.

Here's Ryne's 19x9.5 +25 on 255/40s real flush setup all around

If you want just a bit more wiggle room a 18 or 19x9.5 +30 on 255s would fit well.
