help me with best wheel fitment!
help me with best wheel fitment!
Okay, so, after much time, I have finally decided which wheels I want to order. I have a 2011 G37 sport coupe, mildly lowered with Swift springs. I may eventually switch to coilovers or airbags, but that will be a long time IF that ever happens. Have lots of other things I'd rather purchase before doing so.
I would like a fairly aggressive/flush fitment, but not looking to stretch tires. Want to run 245/35 & 285/30, but 265 or 275 in the rear isn't out of the question so long as the wheels fit correctly. I am not opposed to rolling and pulling my fenders. As my car sits, I have just around -2 camber in rear. I can get a camber kit, if necessary, but I like the look for now.
I am going to order the Weds Maverick 709M, staggered: 20x9 & 20x10.5. Can you please help me with the best offsets to order for my wants/needs? Suggestions, and pictures are appreciated. (I have been scouring Instagram, and asking many people what they are running.) I don't want to order custom wheels, only to be unsatisfied later and have to buy spacers

Looks like the 20s are only available up to a 10" according to the spec sheet

For BBK clearance it would be best to contact Weds and see what the most conservative offset would be for the front wheel w/ a lo disc and still clear the Akebonos then go from there. That will tell you if you'd need to go to hi disc. I'm thinking you'd need hi disc w/ an offset in the +25 range up front but if you can get a lo disc w/ a bit more conservative offset that would be an option.

According to Mark at RavSpec, the 20x10.5 +35 will have approximately a 90mm lip in the rear, and the 20x9 +30 will have a 54mm lip. I'm just wanting to make sure this is the most aggressive setup I can go with without needing lots of modification and to avoid rubbing and other fitment issues. I just want the largest lip possible. If I were to be able to squeeze out another 10mm in offset, it would equal nearly an additional half inch of lip.
Just wondering if any of you have run similar wheel and tire sizes with similar offsets? This is quite a bit of money to spend, only to wait a few months and then have the wheels arrive and be faced with some fitment issues.
It is in my nature to damn near over-analyze everything, so that is basically what I am doing before I put a deposit down on these wheels.
The wheels don't have much in the way of concavity so going hi disc wouldn't be too detrimental to the aggressive look of the rim. I'd imagine that would be the route to take to get you the biggest lip and still clear those calipers.
RavSpec are great w/ wheel fitment so they won't steer you wrong.
Look forward to your results, and thanks for the page 2 (Doh!).
This is one of those situations where over-analyzing isn't a bad thing, it's a lot of green to plunk down along w/ the wait, don't want ANY surprises.

Hi Jason,
Thank you for your inquiry and interest in Weds Wheels.
For 2011 G37 Coupe, based on your description and sizes.
We would suggest the following.
Front: 20 X 9.0 +29 H-Disk (If you have Akebono brakes) If not, you can use SL-disk.
Rear: 20 X 10.5 +38 SL-Disk
The photo below is a very similar setup. Except the car is on coil-over.

As you can see, this car has very slight poke. I think at your ride height now, it will have this appearance.
Once you go coil-over, the car can be sit lower and naturally the camber will increase and I think it will tuck in nicely.
So if our dealer suggest 9.0 +30 and 10.5 +35, you’re within range.
It is likely you have to roll the fender once you go coil-over, but with just springs, you might be able to get away without it, but always double check.
We hope this information helps.

Awesome to get such a detailed reply, that setup is about what I envisioned as far as the disc choices and offsets. Should be an awesome look when you get it together. Keep us posted. I think your initial combo of 245/285 tires should be just fine w/ those wheel specs. I doubt you'd have to do any fender mods, maybe the rear bumper bracket shave but that should be it.
