what are the widths? and coupe or sedan?

I noticed I didn't include the widths last night and edited my post; sorry for not including it originally.

245/35/19 19x9+23 fronts, 245/40/19 19x9.5+24 rears.

255/275 or 255/285 should work just fine, are you dropped?

I just bought my 08 S coupe a few weeks ago. I've already picked up BC coilovers and front and rear SPC camber kits. Now.... I need wheels. I'm on a strict budget for now and trying to stay below 2-3k.
I want to stance out a little and don't mind running camber but I don't want anything nuts.
I've dug a lot and haven't found any one with these specs:

20x9+15 20x11 +20
Will this look OK? Clear bbk?

Thanks in advance.

I have finally saved up enough money to order Vossen CV5 20x10.5 +25 all around.
I am wanting to 275/40/20 all around, and wondering how this would work out!
I don't like the stretch look, and also thinking about going 285/40/20 on rear.

What do you think about the tire size? My local tire shop won't mount 275 under.....

Thanks!

255/40 19x10 +30 for package II

the website reports that package II will stick out 17mm extra using package I as reference. this, however, is incorrect! the extra 1in increase in rim width adds an additional 12.7mm on each end. the result should be 29.7mm closer to the fender.

for what it's worth, i feel that it's also important to post how low you are as well (you can use for example the middle of the fender to the ground) because that certainly affects fitment

Yep that RimsnTires calculator has a few glitches, it's a pretty detailed setup but the errors can really cause problems when looking for specific offset/fitment. The calculator on this site is much simpler but much more accurate and useful for exact measurements.

Hey guys I need little bit of help I'am about to pick up some Leon wheels from a buddy but their 19x10 +8 and 19x11 +8, lips are 4 and 5

I need make these fit in the sedan lol .. I was thinking if I did 5.5 inner I would end up with a 9.5 and 10.5 +2 right ?
but I dont want to flare or pull, if I do i would only do a very slight pull like a 8mm pull

I'm thinking of getting Forgestar F14s.

On stock suspension.

Wheels specs would be:

Front 19X8.5
Rear 19X9.5 SuperDeep Concave

Factory offsets, planning on running 245/45/19 & 275/40/19 in the rear. Would this fit?

Thanks!

I think factory is +43 F / +45 R

I'm bailing on Forgestars after doing some Googling (very poor customer service / bad quality control).

I think this is the wheel setup I'm going for:

http://www.modbargains.com/avant-gar...niti-lexus.htm

19X8.5 F +35
19X9.5 R +40

Tire sizes are 245/45/19 F & 275/40/19 R.

Since the offsets are so close to stock I think I'm good even with the extra width in the rear. Thoughts? Thanks again everyone.

have no idea which one to pick.

My g37s is bone stock except berk HFC.
I have searched thread over and over but still confused to choose on wheel offset. I will be getting avant grade m368 19x8.5/9.5 wheels, seems like they offer two different set of offset(20,22/35,40). I do not want wide stance, just want to avoid awkward looking. So if I go for 20,22 offset, would there be any rubbing? I still don't get any idea from tire/rim calculation. Also I already have ordered 235/35/19,255/30/19 tires as well. Would they be fine to fit in? Help me please I am losing my mind!
