Rims question. Help needed!!!

Okay so im thinking of purchasing some Work's VSXX front 20x9.5 +17 3.5inch lip and rear 20x10.5 +13 4.5inch lip. How much camber will you have to run with that spec of a wheel? I really don't want to so what's the least I can do to be safe?

Thanks in advance guys

Are you going for a stretched/poked look?

No sir! I don't want my fenders rolled or the wheel tucked in!!!! I just want a little low! I have a steep driveway and there's no way I can go low and clear it! I've seen some other infiniti's that have a decent low and it's not extravagant! That's the look I'm going after!

Those offsets will require you to run aggressive negative camber or skinny tires or both. If you don't want that look for wheels with a higher offset number in that diameter and width. High 20s to mid 30s.

Those offsets will require stretch tires and camber arms like previously mentioned. The VSXX also don't clear Akenbono and aren't TPMS compatible. It's a great classic wheel design, but will require much to make it work.

SPC (which is also the same as Eibach) is probably the most common camber/toe kit setup. There's a couple other camber setups that cost more and appear to be a bit more supstantial. I've had my SPCs for a couple years now w/ no complaints. I got mine from THMotorsports for about $500 F&R complete. Good on-site vendor too.

Sounds like you've picked out some nice wheels, look forward to pics.
