As far as the 10.5s, the only offset I could recommend would be the 10.5 +25
but will poke a little w/ a 275/35/19 tire. This would require running a bit higher camber. The original sizes we discussed would be a safer fit, maybe you can find a vendor that can CONFIRM shipment this time around. Andrew @treadepot is good to deal with and may be able to get you a similar price to the Autoanything deal,never hurts to ask.
G/L and again, sorry the deal I suggested didn't work out.
Not your fault, I blame a serious lack of communication at Autoanything. They only get one chance to get it right with me then I am off to someone else. Never again. I am considering some Vossen CV2's 20x9 front, and 20x10 rears. Pairing those with Hankook V12 Evo2 255/35/20 and 285/30/20. I like the SSR rims but I am having no luck finding them in the size I need. Just need to figure the offsets out for the Vossens.

Well I just learned the Vossen CV2's are discontinued. This is becoming a major disappointment trying to find rims for this car. My attempt to find the SSR's from another dealer has also been a disappointment.

If I can get time tonight I'll look around for styles that are similar that may work out, sucks that you're running into these roadblocks

Just maybe some good luck for you..Just sent a message to Diego from Vossen and he said to contact Outcast for they might still have some!!! they bought up their remaining stock so give it a shot!


Hope this helps!

I just went to their website and I see the CV2's, but not in the color or offset i think I need. I was quoted for some AG M580 20x8.5 +32 and 20x10 +45 and wondered if those offsets apply to the CV2 rims. Still confused by what offsets work and why for different size/style of rims. Without the input from the community on here I would just shoot myself Outcast shows 20x8.5 +32 but no 20x10's in my bolt pattern.

I am leaning towards the AG M580 since they closely resemble the SSR GTV03 rims I liked but the AG are 20". I think I am fine with going for 20's and it seems that will give me the best selection. Anyone have input on AG M580's? Is AG comparable to the SSR rims in quality? Would have them powdered in black.

Those offsets will work, just need to check about brake clearance. I'd run a 245/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear. AGs are nice wheels, not sure if they use flow forming in the castings to bring down the weight like the SSRs but should be similar.

Just found a link for the AG M580 20's I was considering. Check out the weights for 20x8.5 and 20x10! Avant Garde BMW Type M580 20 inch Wheel Set

30.5 and 32.0lbs respectively!?!? Ouch... thats an increase of 4-5lbs over stock 19's.

I notice that 20" makes our brake rotors and calipers look too small. But if you have 6 piston calipers then it would look soo good.

I won't be using those a-holes for anything in the future. I could have bought something else already and I need new tires soon. Ugh. So pissed right now.
I'm in the same predicament with Carid. I ordered a set of wheels on Friday February 20th, estimated ship date was set for the 9th of March, Monday. I have yet to receive any tracking info even after phone calls and emails. I called and they told me it's scheduled to ship Tuesday instead of Monday, still no info. I'm pissed as well.

There's some serious shipment delays from Asian countries right now, the LA port work stoppage has ships backed up for weeks. My Tanabe strut brace won't be here until mid April, and that's a best case scenario

Just ordered some Forgestar CF5V 19x9.5 +28, 19x10 +38 on some 245/40/19 and 285/35/19 Hankook K120's! I ordered them in Matte Gunmetal but Im not sure I picked right on the color. What do you guys think about the Matte Gunmetal vs Matte Black? or some other similar color? My G37S Coupe is Platinum Graphite.

IMO you made the right choice, it's going to blend real well, not the abrupt contrast of the black. Look forward to pics.

They are finally here and installed!

I am getting KW V1's, a camber kit, and Ark Grip Catback Exhaust with burnt tips installed next Saturday too! I will have more pics when that is all done and post them up here.
