Wheel Size/Offset options

Hello all, 2 years ago I sold my 2008 G35 sport sedan for a 2010 Audi A4, two weeks ago the Audi was sold..

Mods- 20" RS6 wheels
HR lowering springs
AWE full catback quad exhaust
GIAC Stage 2 tune
Gloss black front grill with plate delete
VAG Mods
Customer Valence
HID Fogs

Sad to see the Audi go but being able to drive it for over a year and get 110% of what I paid for it was too good of an offer to pass up ( all mods were done by me car was purchased bone stock), so now on to the next one..

After exploring my options I have decided to go with a CPO 2011 G37 Sedan for my daily driver/commuter, first mods will be drop/wheels.

I will be buying a 2011 G37 Sedan in the coming week I plan to drop the car on Eibach's 1.5F 1.2R. I will be going with vossen wheels, I want to be flush/concave as possible without the wheel poking out.

So what do the experts recommend regarding offset/rim size? From searching around this is what I have gathered...

20x9Front 35offset
20x10.5Rear 45offset

tire size 245/35/20F 275/30/20R

My other options are to go 20x8 lower offset 20x10 lower offset?

I would recommend a 255/30 & 285/30 or 295/30, but sizes and offsets look good.

Edit: Also check out the link in my sig for more info.

Nice looking A4, great list of mods on that one! You might want to consider coilovers, especially coming from an Audi suspension. That said, I'm running 20x8.5 +40 w/ 245/35/20 and 20x10+45 w/ 295/30/20 in back. I have the fronts in about 7mm since the front fender isn't rolled like the rear. Here's a couple pics for reference, also lowered on Megan Street coilovers at zero gap.

Both of those are really good suggestions. I am currently lowered on Eibach springs and this is my setup:

20x9 +32
245/35/20

20x10.5 +42
285/30/20

It's all good
Should still post up your fitment pics since the offset & treadwidth may help OP.

Are your rear fenders rolled? I read in another thread that 285 is a pushing it and could result in rubbing? Any benefit in going with 285 vs 275?

All the 2007+ G sedans have rolled rear fenders, it's the front that's not.
