The problem with running lipped wheels on these cars (as I have found out) is that most of them have a pretty flat face in order to allow for the larger lip and not have a crazy low offset. Read up about the various hi-disk and lo-disk faces and that should help you find out about brake clearance. I personally love the way a lipped wheel looks on these cars... The concave look obviously looks great, but not that many people are running large lips.

Dude, those are the wrong offsets. No way is the front less than +25. Rear looks like +18 or higher.

Maybe, like I said I need to get in and do some measuring and will post back with results... Maybe I should contact VSM and see if they can give me some correct info.

Guys,

I am thinking of putting a 20x10.5 +30 in the front and rear of my 08 G37S. I know that the rear will work but not sure about the front. Is there anyone in this forum who is running 20x10 +15 , 20x9.5 +0, 18x10 +25 in the front?

When I owned a g35 before the g37, I ran 20x10.5 +30 rear and 18x10 +25 front and the front cleared with approx 5 mm to spare this was on non brembo brakes.

I am thinking of lowering the vehicle with the Tein S techs used on G35 but may change to Eibach.

Thanks,

NGZ

The G35 did not look bad at all. The reason I did this is because the 20x8.5 had a 1.5 in lip and the 20x10.5 had a 3.75 inch lip. The offset was really bad on the 8.5.

Now back to the real question if anyone has the requested offsets on those 20" wheels can I see pics.

Thanks,

I Can guarantee a 10.5 +30 won't work on the fronts on s techs. Maybe on coils
