Will these fit my G37s rwd sedan? I plan on going for a flush look on BC coilovers. I’ve done a lot of research here and realize a +45 rear offset is the optimum for a 10.5 wide wheel. I am thinking of buying from EBay a set of new 4 Vossen VFS-1, Matte Graphite, Staggered Wheels. 19x8.5 +32 & 19x10.5 +48, 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern. Will fit 2013 and newer Lexus IS250 and IS350, 2012 and newer Lexus GS350, and 2015 and newer Lexus RC350. Will these be fine on a G37 sedan?

Should be fine, just need to confirm the hub bore on those wheels as the Lexus have a smaller hub bore. Most aftermarket wheels have oversized bores, but just check that they are at least 66.1mm. Also need to confirm brake clearance for your large Akebono calipers in front.

I didn’t realize the Lexus’s hub bore size is 60.1. So it won’t fit. Thank you very much for your input. I will keep looking for some 19s. The Vossen VFS1 or CV7 looks nice though.

...or could I get hubcentrc rings for the Vossen wheels since I’ve read they have a 73.1mm hub?

Yeah, no problems if they are a standard over-bore like 73.1. Some aftermarket wheels sell runs of hubcentric wheels for a specific make, but this isn't very common. Like I mentioned, just confirm the actual bore size and brake clearance, offset & wheel width will work fine.

no upfront.
doubtful out back but maybe depending on camber. 255 will stretch well and may help avoid rear tab. Hard to say from here.

Here's a 20x10.5 +25 running 275s all around, so going by this you could make it work, camber might need to be cranked up a bit though

Hello wheel enthusiasts,

I'd like some feedback on a used set of 20" wheels I am interested in purchasing.

The wheels are squared, 20x9 +35 wrapped with 245/35/R tires. I am going to run these on my G37x sedan and I do not plan on lowering my car due to road conditions. I am wondering if I will need to make any additional modifications to effectively run this set? Also, is there anything that I should be concerned about with this set that I may be overlooking, besides the appearance? The seller is going to let me test fit the wheels, so I will be seeing how bad the wheel gap is firsthand.

You can run those without issues, wheels/tires will poke just a bit at stock height but tuck just fine under compression. 20s will make the fender gap appear larger, it's not, but it's an optical illusion that's real, lol.

I've purchased the following wheels: https://www.discounttiredirect.com/b...-dr-67/p/48644

19x8.5 40mm offset.

I currently run 18x8 Enkei OEM wheels with 43mm offset and 20mm spacers on 225/50/18 tires. I like the fitment. If I am stepping up to a slightly wider wheel but a slightly less offset:
  • Would same spacers be close to current fitment?
  • What size tires should I go with?
    • 225/45/19 which is nearly identical to OEM size. Seems like i would want to go with a wider tire though since the new wheels are .5 inches wider.
    • 235/45/19 .4 inches wider but more expensive. Circumference is a bit bigger too.
    • 245/40/19 .7 inches wider and less expensive Circumference is close to the OEM size. Just worried about it being too wide.

You'll be 6mm out for the wider wheel and 3mm for the new offset for a net 9mm out from your current setup, so looking at your current setup, if you feel 9mm further out w/ those 225s will get you a fit you like then stay w/ 225s. I run 9.5 +38 on 245s and can run 255s without issue, your 8.5 +20 would be 12mm in from mine at the wheel, but 18mm out for the offset, so a net 6mm out from my setup. IMO you'd be better off w/ 15mm spacers and run 245s, but what you can do is get 245/40/19s and run them without spacers, then you can decide firsthand how much spacing will get you where you want to be. The 20mm should be ok in back but a narrower spacer in front might be a better way to go.
Here's my setup

Thanks for the quick reply. Ended up going with KONIG Oversteer wheels. 19x8.5 with a 30mm offset. Do I have this right?:
  • 13mm further out with the offset difference
  • 17mm further out with the wider 245 tire
I plan to remove the use of the spacer so I am now 10mm out further than my current setup correct? .4 inches I think will be fine. I am close to flush now.

Looks like your net figures are correct, your wheels are .5" wider which add 6.5mm out, and the tires are 20mm wider which adds 10mm at the fender so a net 16.5mm out plus the 13mm for offset. Without any spacing you should be just fine.

It is not a recommended setup per tirerack but the question Is it going to clear inside wheel well by a hair in the front turning radius or am i looking at tire rub on inside wheel well when I turn all the way? My g37 sport sedan is all stock right now.

What is the offset on those Enkeis?
