offset ?'s. news to sports cars.

12 coupe sport.

I put on 20mm spacers all the way around. I really, really like the way the tires and wheels are sitting under the fenders. How do I maintain this look if I switch to 20" aftermarket rims? I would like to get rid of the spacers also.

What size wheels should I look for?

It depends on the with of your wheels. as to what offset you'll want. Play around with he offset calculator at the top of the page (in orange). It will help you to see what offset will stick out further or be more sunken than your OEM wheels.

Since you are local, I'd also suggest to come out to some Houston G meets. Our Team, Strictly G's, holds one usually at least once a month and all G enthusiasts are welcome. You will definitely see some fitments that you like and most of the locals are pretty cool guys who will be willing to tell you what their offsets are and help you figure out what works for you. Someone telling you what offset looks good on the forum is great. Photos are even better. But noting in the world is as good as seeing it for yourself on another G to evaluate how you like it. IMO it's worth attending meets just for the modding info.

Thanks BB. I have the look I want, I need to know how to transfer that look to 20" wheels and lose the wheel spacers. Oh, and do it on the cheap!!! I'll check out the calculator. When and where do the StricklyG's meet? I was on their forum but haven't been able to log in and can't reset my password. Thanks again.
