Well I have researched and I'm a little confused im about to purchase some wheels and tires in about a week. I'm looking at the verde V99. My car is lowered on ark springs and my question is what are good offsets to run? I prefer the flush/aggressive look but not the hellaflush crazy camber. The wheels will be 20x9 and 20x10.5 with 245/35/20 and either a 275 or 285 30 rear. The front come in either a +20 or +30 and the rear come in +25 or +45. Thoughs or suggestions?

Those offsets are a bit much on either end of the range, a bit too aggressive in back w/ the +20 and too conservative w/ the +45. You could run the +30 in front and the +45 in back and space the back about 10mm to flush them up a bit. You might look at these Niche wheels if you like that style, they should have better offsets

The 8.5 +25 and 10.5 +30 sets would be good.

What size spacers are best on stock non sport 18' wheels?

Lowered on Tein S techs.

See pic below

I've seen 20mm all around, but also seen 20 front/25 rear, and 20 front/15 rear.

The stocks are 18x8 +43mm offset I believe, which should be the same as the sport 19' wheels (19x8.5 +43)

Thanks for the link. So even with the wheel being a 10.5 wide the +45 is still to weak? I thought that it would push the wheel 20mm towards the fender and 20mm towards the inside?

On a coupe with in spec camber a 20x10.5 +35 will put the wheel right at the fender. If you put a 285 tire on that wheel, I'm almost certain you will rub the fender liner and bumper bracket. So if you plan on not trimming anything, the +45 is your best bet. I have 20x10.5 +35 with -1.7 to -1.8 degrees of camber and a 255/35R20 tire and I just barely clear the fender liner and bumper bracket with Eibach springs. The +25 is very aggressive and is probably suited best for a coilover drop and a bit of extra camber and trimming.

On a sedan the front tires will be just inside the fender edge and will be a bit further in out back, might want a small spacer in back to get the same fit as the front.

On a coupe you'll probably want a small spacer in front and a wider spacer in rear.

Sport coupe

Thanks so much for all of your pointers/suggestions/help. I'm new to the forums and you've replied to most if not all of my questions. Really appreciate it.

Obviously i would like to sit flush without rubbing but spacers freak me out with regards to dealing with wheel bearing issues etc. Maybe best off looking for lower offset wheels because i definitely want to stick to the squared setup

Take a look at Lt8ches' coupe, he's running square 9.5 +30 on 265 width tires, nice flush setup all around and also on an Eibach drop~

So if you can find wheels you like in a +30 offset that would be ideal, or even a +35 would be better.
Here's a few other wheels that might work better for you without needing spacers.
Only in matte black but in a 19x9.5 +30

In a +35 on a different wheel
http://www.nicheroadwheels.com/targa-m129--w-7870.htm
And Silver
http://www.nicheroadwheels.com/targa-m131-w-5336.htm
And if you can expand your budget a bit these SSRs are a very nice wheel, and they have a 20% off code so you can get those wheels for about $375
SSR GTV03 Wheels - Free Shipping SSR GT V03 V Spoke Rims - 17, 18 & 19" Wheels
Just keep in mind that you have to clear those big front calipers, I know the SSRs will and most of the others should but here's a template you can send to a vendor if they're not sure

Thanks for all of the references, thinking the niche essen 19x10 +40 might do the trick with the same federal tires. Price point not he wheel itself is roughly 250-275

Im looking at two rims to buy. I am currently on BC coilover

HY ? Hybris Machined | Advanti Racing Wheels USA

Will these wheels clear big brake?

19X8.5 with 245/40/19 They come in +35, 40, and 45 offset
19X9.5 with 285/35/19 They come in +40 and 42

What would be a good offset for front and rear? From what I have read +35 in front and +40 in rear?

Same question for Avant Garde 580 bespoke. Since everything is custom, what would be a good offset for front and back for a nice flush look?

Thanks
