You're not going to fit a 10.5 in wide with a 23 offset without running some rear camber. I'm running a 10 inch wide with with a +40 offset and this is where it sits. So you're going to stick out about 3/4 of an inch more. But it's definitely possible, just not with factory camber specs and 285s!

Thanks for the pics...does it change anything if mine is the coupe? I'm not familiar with whether the specs of the coupe/sedan are different. If it's the same then I'll just consider my dreams mercilessly crushed.

Coupe has more room at the rear fender but 285s will be pushing it. As long as your coupe isn't AWD you can run as narrow as a 255/40/19 in back and those should be OK at the fender although the wheels will be poking outside the fender edge when looking straight down.

Yea the coup has more room as he stated above. I thought I was in the sedan thread haha that's my fault. But he knows better than me so I would take his advice lol. I don't know the coupes that well. I just know they can fit a more aggressive setup. If you want just look through some threads and you can kinda educate yourself by looking at other peoples specs and pics. That's normally what I do. Or you can convert everything and measure it lol. I recommend pics and specs though. That helps a lot when you want to decide what size tire to run! Good luck man

Come to think of it I fitted 275/35/18 on my Evo...those cars have super deep wells and that was pushing it...lol since I don't want to run stretched tires...guess I'll be looking at something else.

Probably a better plan
Here's good link for some quality wheels, I really like the Work Emotion lineup for nice looking wheels for a decent price point. Lots of offsets available too.

Need offset advice 2012 sedan

Been shopping for wheels

My setup is Swift springs and Koni shocks with hotchkis sways.
I would rather not cut or pull. rolling the front fenders is negotiable.

Please let me know if any of these rows will fit or NOT fit. I have numbered them for easy reference.

My 4 proposed wheel setups are
1. 18x8.5 +35 offset F same diameter 245 tires
2. 18x8.5 +35 offset R same diameter 245 tires

3. 18x8.5 +35 offset F same diameter 245 tires
4. 18x9.5 +40 offset R same diameter 275 tires

5. 19x8.5 +40 offset F same diameter 245 tires
6. 19x9.5 +40 offset R same diameter 275 tires

7. 19x8.5 +42 offset F same diameter 245 tires
8. 19x9.5 +40 offset R same diameter 275 tires

if none of these fit I will just settle for +45 offsets all around.
Also I am picky about tires so running a tire like falcon is out of the question.

My wheels that i like are Konig

or Tracklite

or advanti

or various Enkei

Thanks All

ssscottg, all those combos will fit without any issues as long as your G is a RWD, for an AWD I'd fine tune the tire sizing a bit.

If there's any of these Niche wheels you happen to like they'd be a good option too~Andrew at Treadepot gives myg37.com members nice pricing
https://www.treaddepot.com/#!brandWheelList/nichecustom
Here's just one example similar to one of the other wheels you listed
https://www.treaddepot.com/#!productGroup/wheels/misgm
You could run the 8.5+33 front on a 245/40/19 and a 9.5 +35 on 275/35/19s, this would give you more of a flush fit than the combos you listed but still tuck into the fender.
Also Toyo T1Sports are a nice performing summer tire
https://www.treaddepot.com/#!productGroup/tires/prt1s
They also have plenty of other brand wheels like your Konigs, SSR is another nice option if you don't mind spending a bit more.

Keep in mind if you plan on getting a Big brake setup you'll have to get wheels that will clear, just food for thought.

Would fronts are 19x10, 24mm offset and rears are 19X12, 40mm offsets

I have a 2008 S coupe with stance coilovers, rear SPC camber kit... Found a guy selling some but I seen that he had them on his Zo6 corvette

Hey guys,

I'm doing some research for my buddy who has a 2013 g37 sedan, he wants to buy my old OEM 18x8 +30 wheels from my 2004 G35 coupe, I was wondering if you guys could tell me if the wheels would sit flush or if he would need spacers?

I've read through about 100 pages through different threads but when it comes to OEM's, most of y'all are running 19's :P

I linked my buddy Peterhjlee's for sale thread (https://www.myg37.com/forums/g-s-fs/...d-27200-a.html) as a reference but hes not on these forums anymore to answer my question

Any help would be appreciated!

The 12" in back will probably hit the inner suspension at some point, my 10" +45s are about 3/4" away from hitting anything so another inch out for the wider width + another 5mm for offset would spell trouble, and the bolt pattern wouldn't work either.

The current 18x8.5 sedan wheels have a +43 offset and many run pretty large spacers to get them flush. The 8" +30 will be a nice fit, not poking and will be pretty flush, might want a 5mm spacer in front and a 10mm in back to get them perfectly flush depending on tire sizing.

Same question, but the 2013 has the 17x7.5 stock rims (not the 18x8.5)
Thank you!
