Coupe Offset help?

Would a 20x9 +38 245/35/20 and a 20x10.5 +45 265/30/20 look bad? Doing some math I know it won't be flush.

If you're wanting a more flush fit then you'll be wanting some spacers but w/ those specs you can run a lot more tire, like a 295 or even a 305 out back and a 255 front.

Thanks I'd rather have more tire. I'm running the stock wheels with 20 and 25 mm spacers. I'm really not a fan of spacers though.

Of course they don't clear the brakes

How much spacing do you need to clear the calipers, should only be a problem in front unless you're dealing w/ a deep dish type setup. If it's just a few mm that you need you should be able to use a 10mm spacer and this would get your front wheel edge pretty close to where the rear would be.

Vossen vvs083 . Dish. Front and back look like they will clear with a 3mm spacer.

Not bad, just be sure you get a full six turns on the lug nuts when torqued down to 80-85 ft. lbs, or you will need extended studs. Should be ok on a 3mm but you may need a 5mm just to give you a little "comfort", and sometimes extended studs are needed, but ???

Thanks for the help. They still touched in the front with 3mm. I ordered 5mm spacers . Hopefully this works.

The rear fit with the 3mm and looks pretty flush to the quarter. I not running much camber and only dropped on eibach.

I did the whole could overs , control arms...... On my z and didn't want to put the time in this car but it seems ive opened up a can of worms

Yep, that can of worms can't stay closed around here lol, hopefully the 5s will work and you still have enough room on the studs to secure the lugnuts safely.
