g37 s convertible wheels

Went to the dealer today and i noticed that the rear wheels on the convertible s look different than the coupes. the center of the wheel looks deeper like the offset is different does anyone know ?

i know that the convertible has a wider track IMO the rear wheel of the convertibles looks a lot better you can notice the difference between front and back a lot more.

The vert does have a wider rear end than the coupe. Most likely the wheels have a lower offset

^^Lmao. Yeah Allied I was thinking the same thing. I saw a MW 6MT convertible 2 days ago and the rear wheels definitely look wider. I'd love to see a TT vert with some rims!

I have a client that wanted to throw 22"s in the rear and yeah it looks like you can install a deeper wheel b/c the clearance from the rear brake calipers is almost 3/4"wider gap from the OEM coupe w/ the akebono's
