Hi everybody,I'm new so please be gentle,i hope this finds the proper destination.I am in tire fitement hell right now,looking for your expertise.I have a 2013 g37xs coupe and I'm looking for new wheels and tires.i would like to go to a 20 inch wheel,thats the easy part.I hate the stock look on the xs and would like a more aggressive stance but because of the awd system you can't offset,I live in Canada and most tire stores here are useless in this department.IE Vossen wheels,Never heard of em,don't carry em.end of.can any one help me with fittement?i will be dropping the car one inch all the way around.just curious if i could go with front 20x9+28 and rear 20x10.5+35 rolling diameter is the biggest issue.please help me,I'm drowning up here.oh and if anybody has some vessel cv3-r,s for sale hit me up.lol.cheers with beers.

I'm not familiar with coupes as much as I am with the sedan, but I think that should be flush with a drop. With the AWD system, the quirk is that the rolling diameters have to be within 1% of each other. You can run staggered, but it's safer to most people to run a square setup. With the staggered setup you mentioned, if you run 245/35/20 up front and 285/30/20 in the rear you should be good to go.


If you reach out to Vossen directly, you might have some luck having them help you locate some authorized dealers in your area.

thanks for the feed back,would love to hear from other xs coupe guys out there.As for the drop,yes i agree.Im only dropping it one inch all the way around.Finding lots of places for the springs up here.they suggested not to go with coileovers because of the cold winters,So i think springs will be just fine.

ohhh,on a not so funny note.Ark exhaust to bring into canada after taxes,exchange etc.$2700.00 canadian.im going to go broke getting this thing to look good.

Try Swift Springs for your AWD coupe, pretty good choice for mild drops on a budget.
As far as compatible tire combos on AWD, check this post, then just find wheels with the proper offset & width to seal the deal Look in to TSW wheels, they have pretty good looking sets that won't cost a mint.

thanks for the info,going to dig deeper into 275/30/20 and 235/35/20.now would this later one be a bit more aggressive on the rear?245/35/20 and 285/30/20?

the93owner

235/35 and 275/30 would be slightly more stretched (but still safe), while 245/35 and 285/30 will be a more "proper" fit on a 9 inch / 10.5 inch setup. Depending on the offsets you go with, you may find one better than the other in terms of not running into clearance issues with the fenders.

p.s. The reason i love the vessel is because of the deep concave 5 spoke.I think it screams sex all over a G.first time i saw it was on an orange wrapped G and my heart just melted.

canadian bacon

ughhh,auto correct.I meant to say vossen,not vessel...haha.

i used to have the ventus v12 on my old G but i heard they discontinued them.thats was a great tire for a good price.little softer side wall but way cheaper than the pilot sport.Any good comparissons to those.i have heard of the contnental extreme contact dws06,i think thats an all season mind you,not positive.
