G37x wheel advice

Want to preorder my wheels but I can't decide. Like the title says it's an x coupe.

Here's what I'm considering:
F-20x8.5-245/35/20 R-20x10-285/30/20, rear -0.074%

F-20x???-255/30/20 R-20x10.5-305/25/20, rear -0.076
F-20x???-255/35/20 R-20x10.5-295/30/20, rear -0.219

The wheel isn't available yet but will likely come in 20x8.5 et35 and et25 , 20x10 et40 and 20x10.5 et30

I'd go w/ the top set you listed, much easier fit. You've got good tire combos on all three but the bottom two setups will be real tight.
I'd go w/ +25 on the 8.5 and the +40 on the 10, although a +35 would be ideal.

^ I agree. Unless you enjoy rubbing, then pick one of the bottom two options. Or very conservative offsets. Besides, tires are very expensive and limited in those sizes above 285.

Thanks guys. I know the 245/285 combo was the more reasonable choice, but I was hoping somebody would convince me to go with the fatter rears lol

Won't be me, lol. I run a 255/35R20 all around for the sake of the AWD system and snow driving. Wide rear tires can make the car handle unpredictably in the snow. I run a 20x9 +28 in the front and a 20x10.5 +35 in the rear. No issues with AWD lights since I am running the same size tire all around. Also, no rubbing. That's all from a daily driving perspective though.

So blnewt what I'm reading is with 20x10 et40, I would probably end up using 5mm spacers? Also I forgot to mention that I'm going to be installing Fortune 500 coils so does that change anything??

The coils doesn't change much, the tires will tuck a bit as you camber in, but will be corrected w/ the camber arms somewhat. If they have a +35 in that wheel that would be preferred but 5mm isn't much so once you get them installed you may or may not want to space them out the additional 5mm. Some tires are wider than others too even if the size is the same so there's that variable as well.
