New to this forum, need advice on wheels

Hi I'm new to this forum, bought my G37s coupe back in late april of last year and now I'm finally able to get put some mods on it. I ordered the Ipl/aero bumper, the oem spoiler, and the midnight grille and they're all on the way. I'm thinking about getting some wheels now, either Rohana Rf1 or Rf2. Im planning on getting 20 x 9 for the front, and either 20x10 or 20x11 for the rear. Which one should I get for the rear?

The tires I plan on getting is the hankook ventus v12 evo2, as I saw some pretty good reviews on those. Tire size I plan on getting is 245/35/20 on the front. What tire size should i get for the rear? 275/30/20 or 285/30/20?

Also the whole offset thing is pretty confusing to me and I have no clue what to do about the offset

Welcome to the forums and congratulations on the new car! Post up some pictures of it for us! Very nice starter cosmetic mods as well!

Here's a quick rundown of my opinion for size and offsets that are available for those specific wheels...

20x9 offset 35 -- 245/35/20
20x10 offset 25 -- 275/30/20

Also I'd go with the Rohana Rf1 for sure out of the two you're deciding between.

thanks kenny, originally I wanted to go with 9.5 for the front and 10.5 for the rear but Rohana doesn't offer those sizes, only 9,10, and 11. So go with 20x9 front and 20x10 rear? Don't go with 20x11 for rear?

Im also gonna get the rear fenders rolled so it can fit

Then I'd do 20x11 with a 25 offset and 285/30/20 in the rear and 20x9.5 in the front with the 35 offset but uncertain what tire you should run on a front rim that wide.

I'm sure there will be more advice coming your way from other members. Just give it a little bit and the knowledge will start rolling in

Welcome to the site Than, moved over here to keep on topic.
Main issue w/ your S coupe is brake clearance and the offset to keep the wheels flush but not poking out. Looks like Kenny has you in a good range. You can run the 9.5 on a 255/40 and up to a 305/30 in back if the offset allows, you'd need an offset around +35 to +40 on a 20x11 to run real wide in back, but a 285 will fit ok w/ offset around +30.

If you want 20s, look into a set of DBA GTR wheels. They're really affordable these days, about as much as those Rohanas but you'll have a better quality wheel and probably lighter too.

Welcome to the forum. I am local in Houston and might have some wheels up for sale soon, Advan RS-D in bright chrome, 20x9 front and 20x10 rear with flush offsets, either +20 or +25 front and rear if I recall correctly. Send me a PM if you are interested.
