Help with offset

I have a 2011 g37s rwd. Im getting a set of oz futuras enlarged to 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 and im just wondering what offset would be my best option. I know my stock offset is 43 front and 30 rear. The OZ's have a step lip so im just curios if i should use the same offset as my stock wheels.

question is what offsets are available for that set of wheels? Find out first and make sure it clears our sport brakes too

The wheels are getting completely rebuilt so i can change the offset around. I want a low offset and some nice stretched tires

i thought the rear offsets on the coupes were +45, unless they changed it for the 2011. or do you have a convertible? i believe the verts have +30 rears

exactly. You can't just say "i want these offsets". Do you have a sport or non-sport. This has a huge affect on what you want to run for offsets, what disc sizes, and will also determine what size lips you'll get.

The car is a sport and i can get them in practically whatever offset i choose. The wheels are being custom made to my liking.

Like weiboy said those offsets will do. Lower the car and get about -3.5 camber and you'll be good. Front camber won't be needed just a rear camber arm. 255/30 rear and 235/30 front will do the job.

you have the accessory 19" wheel, not the anniversary wheel.

rear is +45 offset, not +30 19x9 btw

the vert has a +30 offset, not coupe

you can go offsets as much as +15 in the rear if you're slamming it

Yeah i didnt even know the car had different rims on it but thats all my dealer could locate for me. They gave me the rims at cost since i work for the company, they look pretty nice. The car just sits soo damn high stock its in need of a big drop. Who makes a good rear camber arm? I want a very agressive look and stretched tires..what are my best options of coilovers for slamming it with still a good ride. I was going to get kw's but it doesnt look like they go too low. I know the ride will be amazing, i had them on my 335i and they were phenomenal. The stanceworks ast coilovers for the 350z/g35 are exactly what i need but they wont fit on the g37 correct?

My choice of wheels are either bbs lm's, OZ futuras, Work Meister S1 3peice or the rotiform forged 3 peice roc wheels. Have you guys seen any g37s with any of these wheels?

i've always wondered how the meisters s1 3pc would look on a g37. one of my all time favorite wheels, but looks a bit too aggressive for the g37. but since you're going for an aggressive setup, it might just work out. my vote goes to the meisters!
