X Lowered on eibachs, now for wheels

K so I lowered the care with the pro kit, I think the stance for me is perfect not too low and the rides pretty close to stick feel witch is what I wanted. Overall I'm pumped and happy, mind you I also have upgraded sways, they made the ride way worse then the drop did, but still not bad for any of you worrying about dropping the car or upgrading the sways, here are some pics

Now I'm thinking of going with these wheels the RC 10's in 20 x9. Couple questions if I buy the wheels for the g37s RWD version the should clear the brakes if I want to upgrade them on my X correct? These are some pics of the wheels on a G what do you guys think? And suggest away diff wheels if you think of better ones

If the wheels will work for the RWD "Sport" G then they'll clear for the X if you get the Big brakes later on. Keep in mind if you think the ride is rough now just wait until you go up 3 sizes in tires, going from a 55 sidewall to 35s will be dramatic. I like the firmer feel & connection to the road but it is worth noting.
I like the look of the Rohanas but don't like the fact the spokes don't contact the outer barrel edge, they angle in just before the rim edge and contact the inner wheel which looks off IMO. I like these, Niche Targa

Those wheels are nice too, I know the ride will be rougher, as I had 19's with 35 profile on my lowered Lexus with upgraded sways before this car, I was just noting for guys that are looking into it my experience since I tried to do the same

Personally, a nice mesh styled 19 inch wheel I think is a nice clean look. You also have a slight advantage of weight savings vs. a 20 inch.

I wanted to originally go 19 to have more sidewall and less of a rough ride but I can't find any 19's is the styles I like, as weight savings would be nice I belive the RC-10's in a 20 weigh about 30lbs 😳

^^ This. IMO still the best looking wheel for the sedan and the offset is a good match for eibach springs. Powder coated gunmetal would look good on your car.

Sorry for the bump, but did you need any camber adjustment kit to get it close to spec?
