Take a look at this thread, his Wedssports are very concave but have a much better sedan offset. FWIW I love my Wedssports, great quality & finish, lightweight and concave. His are 19s though and they might be for sale, I'd shoot him a PM as that would be a great setup for you IMO. https://www.myg37.com/forums/build-t...n-z-build.html

I have the SA10R, the ones in that link are SA15R, weigh 20.4 lbs for 18x9.5. Here's the links on the 10R & 15R (each link has a pdf file you can load for offsets, weights, etc., click on the "spec & price list" box) and Jason @GetYourWheels is awesome to deal with WedsSport Brand Site | WedsSport SA-10R | weds CO., LTD.

I don't know why I can't think of what your car looks like, you post all the time. Would you mind posting a couple shot and your specs?

Here you go~And I could run more tire, a 255/45 or 255/40 for sure, and probably up to a 275/40 if I rolled the front fender edge. https://www.myg37.com/forums/18/2765...ml#post4044919

Would 19x9.5 +20 wrapped in 265/35 all around work on a coupe? I'm guessing the rears would be find, not sure on the fronts. I'm dropped on coils with - 2f/-3r camber specs. Also, would they clear BBK? Thanks!

What wheels are you considering? At that offset, most should clear the calipers. It's going to be tight in front, might have to flat roll the front fenders but that's an easy fix. I might be able to dig up a coupe running a similar setup, check back tonight

You'll be fine with those specs and tires, but I'd go ahead and roll/pull the front regardless.
I'd also stop looking at miro too

Hey guys, I'm looking for some insight here. I have an X sedan and I'm currently running 19x9.5 +20 squared 245/40 tires. I'm looking to get 10.5s with low offset squared next. What is a good stretch for these? I'm close to -5 degrees with the 9.5s in the rear and I want to run less camber this time. I was thinking 245/40s again? I'm going to most likely pull the rear fenders a bit, not sure if the fronts will need to be pulled. I'm pretty low right now, probably close to 26 inches fender to ground, if needed I will raise it up more for fitment.

More aggressive wheels and less camber do not go together. With 10.5s in the low offset (I'm assuming 20s and below) you will probably have to run more camber, if anything, and stretch tires.

Also raising up your suspension to fit wider wheels usually looks pretty bad, most people do the opposite to clear the wheels.

VQCrew, 93owner has good advice. I doubt you're very happy w/ the way your G is driving with that much camber, and your tires probably aren't too happy w/ it either ****Running stretched 245s on 10.5s has been done but it's really pushing the tires as far as safety. IMO it's not worth it on a daily driver to run that extreme in camber & stretch. If you want 10.5s all around why not look at the setups in the first couple pages here~https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...post-here.html Tbulsara & MylilG are running square 10.5 +35s on 275s, it's tight and may require a bit of work at the fenders or run a 255 on those same size wheels for a bit more room and a safer stretch than 245s, at least you can run sensible camber that way.

I am ready to pull the trigger on a set of Rohana RC7's +28 all around. I want 20x10 in the front on 245/35/20 tires? And the rear I'd think the correct size tire to run is a 275/30/20? I am just lowered on Eibach Pro Kit springs which says its about 1.2 inch drop. I am prepared and have a local shop that does fender rolling/cutting if needed. Can someone please explain the proper tires to get that don't have a ridiculously stretched look, if that's even possible? Also regarding the offsets, would a +35 be better but less aggressive? And by that I mean does a higher offset in this model mean it has less CONCAVE to it? Any input would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The 20" RC7s are only in +25 & +45 offsets. The +45s probably won't clear your big Akebono calipers and might also contact the steering knuckle so that leaves the +25 as your only viable choice. Typically the concavity will decrease as you go less aggressive in width & offset, need to confirm w/ vendor on that. Here's a video w/ the 20x10s in front, they would be the +25s from the look of it
And for reference here's Simpsons coupe running 10.5 +25 on 275s. If you run 10+25 on 255/35/20s you'll have 6mm in for the offset and another 10mm in for the narrower tires so a net 16mm more room inside the fender, should be a nice fit. https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...ml#post3891573 And FWIW I'd just run 255/35s all around for a nice uniform look and the ability to do a true 4 tire rotation. And the 255s are a safer mount than a 245 on a 10" width.

Thanks for the quick response....I'm not looking to run a squared setup. I would only be interested in this wheel, if I can run the 20x11 in the rear. And if so what tire size will fit with the +28 that is offered in the 20x11? Thanks. Also what issues if any would I have running a different sidewall size like having 35 in the front and 30 in the rear? Thanks!
