PLEASE HELP wheel help

ok, I'am about to buy a set of auto couture wheels aristo. I want to run a 9.5 in the front and a 10.5 in the rear. The guy @superbuytires told me 9.5 would be to wide for the front. So I decided to go with a 9.0 in the front and a 10.5 in the rear. 4inch lip in the back 2 1/2 lip on the front. I wanna run a 285 30 20 on the rear and a 245 35 20 on the front without any rub. I quess my question is what offset should i run to get as close to the fender as possible without rub? Will a 285 30 20 be to wide? eventually i will lower the car on eibach pro-kit springs? Will i have a problem rubbing when its lowered? Please help before a make a costly mistake. I take corner real hard and i dont want to sacrifice performance for looks.Thanks. Oh i have 09 g37S. And has anybody bought any wheels from superbuytires before? thanks again

9.5 in the front will be fine. with an eibach pro-kit drop, i would get somewhere around +30 to +35 for both front and rear for those tires sizes. the rear fender liner and bumper bracket may need to be trimmed.

Coupe. Just got off the phone with vossen. He said offsets 32 in the front 45 in the rear no rub, flush with the fender. Called superbuytires he said 35 front 42 in the rear no rub flush with the fender. vossen said 35 in the front wouldnt clear the front brake caliber. What do u guys think?

Whether or not the front wheels will clear the brakes will vary from wheel to wheel, due to the design. Best bet would be to follow up with Auto Couture for confirmation and go with the recommended offsets by superbuytires and Auto Couture. If in case you do run into fitment issues, you will have a valid argument since you went with their recommended specs.

With those sizes you coulda run a 25 front on a 9.5 and a 32 on a 10.5 with no problems. Check my album for the same offsets.

those are 20x9 +25 & 20x10.5 +32, the fronts I currently have are 20x9.5 +25 with the same 245/35 tires and they do not rub.
