I assume w/ your bagged setup that you want to run a pretty aggressive set.
I'd post over in the hellaflush thread just to get some guidelines.

For a lowered G (on coilovers) to zero gap running 8.5 front you could go w/ a +20 offset on 245/40 and 10.5 +35 on 295/35 in back.

BTW, how much drop did you get with those Megan Springs, looks like a pretty good option for the X drivers. When you have the time could you measure how high from the ground to the upper fender arc, just to have for reference. Looks to be in the 26.5 to 26.75" range.
Thanks!
Well after about a month of driving = to about 1680 miles. Fronts are 27in from ground to fender arc and rears are 26 1/8in from ground to fender arc I will have to do a review @ the half year mark. Hope this help other x drivers

Well I have already seen pics of a coupe running the same wheel specs I am about to plus he is lowered so it should be fine. I have no idea what tire specs he is on...but I think I am gonna be good. *fingers crossed*

Nice choice. In design and color. Those will look great on your coupe. You decided on brand of tires yet?

^^^That sucks. But I am willing to bet that was a not a normal driving situation. If my $hit does that best believe they will be getting verbally abused by yours truly! LoL

Verbal abuse won't bring back your $700/set wheels when you didn't have the patience to do things right the first time.

That guy hit a curb or something...you can see the lip all chewed up. I refuse to pay 3-5 grand for a set of wheels. Its not a purchase that makes any sense. I want a nice set of wheels for the look and thats all. I don't track the car, I am not making retarded amounts of hp where that weight difference will be noticeable (these are about the same weight as stock) and I am not on the car show scene. I did things right the first time...bought what I wanted for a price I was comfortable with. Done deal. If for some crazy reason there is a catastrophic failure...that company WILL take care of it because I will be a pain in the a$$ until it is. If I can get an insurance company to cave to my demands I can make these people fix my situation...god forbid

I don't think that evil should have a problem at all with the fitment as long as he runs the right size tires, which it seems to me he already has in mind. I've seen plenty of G's running 10.5 square setups in both 19's and 20's without issues.

Venom remember when I was texting you about 2 weeks ago about those a Work wheels? The 20x10.5 square setup I was interested in. All the research I did showed me I'd be okay and my only issue not pulling the trigger was bc he had the total wrong size tires id need on them and the fact that one of the wheels had that huge bend on it.

Let the man be excited for his new wheels. I spent crazy money on my Vossen setup and wish I would've chosen a cheaper 5 spoke replica since I'm in the market to sell mine now and go with a new setup. Like he said though not everybody has the money to spend on wheels and I think he got a pretty good deal regardless. Just my opinion.

Looking forward to seeing them installed and hear your reviews evil!

^^^True dat yo. I could have spent the money for a high priced set...but why? Just cuz I have the money doesn't mean I should blow it all on wheels. I am looking forward to seeing how this is gonna look. Other than tints, this will be my first mod in the 3 years I have had the car..damn I am slow! LoL
