Question

Ordering Forgestar F10's today, wanted to get second opinions on my offset choice before purchase. Im looking to go +25 Front and +27 rear, Mostly choose these offsets as I would like to do as little modifications as possible and would like to run 255/285 Tires. I was thinking about +20 in the front +25 in the rear but not sure if that would be to aggressive for the tires?

OK. I believe the G coupe is very similar to the 350Z. What are the wheel sizes? I don't think you should have issues with those tire sizes though.

^ that should be pretty good depending on ride height. My F14s are 19x9 +25 front and 19x10+30 rear. Dropped in eibachs but my springs tend to run a little lower than most with eibachs drop. Right now with hankook 245/275 rears sitting totally flush and the front could use maybe a 3-5mm spacer.

If your running a 10.5 rear+27 you'll be poking a bit in the rear but if your a bit lower than I am it'll sit flush on 275/285 I think. Then go with +20 to +25 on the fronts and you'll be flush all around

Thanks went with +25 in the Front and +32 in the rear. at least gives me the option to throw spacers in the rear If im not satisfied Looking for a semi aggressive setup without all the hassle and rub issues.

Could i get some fitment advice please?
I have decided to get 20x10.5 +25 all around, and wondering if 275/40/20 all around will be good choice? I don't like the stretch look, and also thinking about going 285/40/20 on rear.
This is my first set of wheels and still really noob with WTF and offsets!

Thanks!

Will the 370z wheels work on a 37x?

Those tires are to tall. I run this with 255/30/20s. 265/30/20 would be a nice fit. 35 or even 40 series are too tall for a 20 inch fitments.

IMO, as long as the circumference of the front and back wheel/tires are the same you shouldn't have any issues. When you start having the one set spin faster than the other is when you start damaging the gearing.

blnewt runs a 245/35/20, 295/30/20, respectfully.
