+45 according to Diegos' post.

Diego, looks like all that's left for Natalie is those monster AP RadiCal stoppers (& FI/TT ), awesome build you guys have put together, just keeps pushing the edge.

Nice! What camber do you run to make those clear? I thought the sedans had less clearance to the fender than the coupes.

More pics to come. The fitment is very tight, I was concerned it was gonna lay on the fender but tucks perfectly. At normal drive height there is no rubbing at all which surprised me lol.
Diego -- Have you guys done any fender modifications to get those fronts to clear? We are going to be running a very similar setup on our sedan and have been recommended +27 offsets for the fronts on a 9.5" wide wheel (same tire.) I was very hesistant but after seeing these pictures I can see it working.

Hi all,
Awesome thread made choosing new wheels easy on one hand but an expensive exercise on the other as there are so many awesome set ups on here!
My new wheels have just arrived and will be fitting up over the weekend, not sure if I will be considered as a fat setup but pushing the offsets specs are:
Avant Garde M310 in Dolphin Grey
F 20x8.5 +30 with 245/35
R 20x10 +40 with 275/30

Being based in Australia we weren't offered the G37 sedan so vehicle is a white 2012 V36 370GT. Will throw up some pics once fitted.

Should be a good fit, may poke a bit if you're not lowered (if the specs are the same as the G37 Sedan) but w/ a mild drop should fit just right. And 275s will JUST get you into the "FAT club" so you can post pics here
BTW, welcome to the site, nice to have members from down under

alright guys I need help...I have 20x10 +35 wheels in the back with a 5mm spacer. Im running a 285/30 Nitto 555 without any rubbing.

Do you think a 295/30 Michelin Pilot Super Sport would fit if I took off the 5mm spacer? Im lowered on BC Coils and the bracket is shaved.

Not sure why I never posted in here, I'm running avant garde m368's:
Fr 245/40/19 (19x8.5)
Rr 275/35/19 (19x9.5)

Sorry for the crappy cellphone pics, I will be putting together a build thread in a few months.
Lowered on eibach springs that are coupe part number specific.

I've heard the Pilots run a bit wider, so
Do you have about 8mm clearance right now? If so then the 295s should fit.

Man, I am amazed the fronts fit so flushly at +25. I thought they would poke out much further than they do. Diego, what are your thoughts on 20x9.5 +27 and 20x10.5 +40?

I was worried the fronts would not fit without a stretch tire, but after seeing Natalies it looks pretty much perfect.

I'm definitely a fan of this set up. Chrome delete ftw also.

Hi guys, I could use your help getting my odd wheel specs into the fat boys club. I was given some 3 piece wheels with a Porsche pattern that I am running adapters for. After the adapters, I will have the below specs:

19x8.5 +21 Fronts
19x9.5 +31 Rears

I'd like to get a set of tires with a somewhat square profile. My coupe will be on coils with camber arms. I figure I could possibly get a 285/30 or bigger rear, but not sure about the fronts. Any help is greatly appreciated.

FWIW, Here is what is going on.
