Wheel Confusion- Uber Noob

All,

Own a 2008 G37-S Coupe with Stillen Stage 2 CAI and Cat-back Exhaust. Will eventually upgrade ECM (who knows about this- do not want to mess with warranty yet) to better utilize the upgrades that I have.

Looking to upgrade wheels and tires. Considering Volk GTM or Volk SF Winning wheels with Yokohama S.Drive tires, but do not want to modify suspension or interfer with turning radius, rubbing, etc. For each wheel I know the offsets that are available when ordering, but do not know how to implement them. Very confused on how to choose appropriate offsets (figure knowing ahead of time will help to order); What is meant by agressive?; Why one would stretch the tire?

Overall Goal is for light weight rims and not to adjust suspension. Want to be able to purchase new wheels and tires, slap them on, and drive away. I have searched the forums, but no one is really clarifying what I am looking for.

I am probably forgetting to add something, hence the confusion. Any clarification and help would be appreciated. Thanks.

D

You're over complicating things (including your post)

Make it simple, you're getting wheels but don't know what offset you want to run?

Wheel Tech - Offset


Post the available offset you know for each wheel.
