Staggered Wheel setup...

I was wondering what is the best staggered wheel setup for the g35 coupe?

Is it best with 20' in the back and 19' in the front?

19' in the back and 18' in the front?

Or 18' in the back or 17' in the front?

None of the above.

Keep the same wheel diameter front and rear. When people say staggered they mean the wheel width, not the diameter.

Your wheel/tire combo will look taller in the back going staggered, still keeping the same rim diameter, because most people stick with the same tire sidewall ratio. So maybe that is why you are thinking people have different size rims in the front and back. I have 19' rims, 9.5' width in the front and 10.5 in the back. So my tires are 155/35 in front and in back 185/35, making the back wheel/tire pkg "taller".

Thats all personal preference.

The smaller the offset number, the further the wheel is gonna stick out(be flush with the fender)

The more flush you are the more modding youre gonna have to do, rolling fenders, stretching the tires

Theres about a billion pages on this, read up on them. Many guys buy wheels not knowing their stuff and end up getting wheels that are so far sunk in it looks ridiculous or they have severe rubbing issues and they dont understand why.

Ive always lowered my cars first, that way you can figure out what kind/size wheels you can run with your new lowered ride height instead of lowering after wheels and then running into rubbing issues.

This is the same setup that I run (except my wheels are +12 offsets). I love it
