G37S best offset

I just got my G37S coupe and I've been looking around for a nice set of wheels to change it up a little.(probably VOLK) I like performance and handling and would like to keep it 19". I'm not sure what to look for in terms of offset and width. I probably want to go about 19x9 or 9.5 in the front and 19x10 or 10.5 in the rear. I have the BBK that comes on the G37S so i need wheels that clear; and I would also like a pretty good size lip in the rear. Anyone have some words of wisdom?

^^Why such variation between you and sbmwg37s?

What will be the main difference between these two set ups that both of you have suggested?

It's about how aggressive you want.

What I suggest you is generally safe..

19x9.5 +28
19X10.5 +23 it will stick out a lot..you need a negative camber and stretched tires.

Have you considered doing 20's? Handling is still amazing...

I've considered it. I like 19" and I'll probably be looking at the used market where there is a huge abondance of 19". I'm not into big baller rims, but volk does make some nice 20"s like the VR G7.

you don't have too much options since you got the x. you gotta keep your rims size the same all around.
