Your set up would of made more sense, but the 20x9 wheel's concave was pathetic, and I wanted maximum concave on the rear, so i had to choose the 20x11. A bit aggressive, but I think the look is worth it!

Here are some more pics I took with my phone camera. Let me know if there is any specific angle you wanted to see, and I'll take some more shots... hopefully with a better camera

SEMA strechy aggresive helps please.

I've been digging around and i think this is where i'm supposed to ask this question.

I have a 03 G35 coupe, tein s tech springs and currently im running a 20x9 (42 offset) in front and 20x10.5 (38 offset) rear (Vossen VVC CV1) with 25mm (1inch spacer) i sit pretty flush. I just received a set of 20x11 all around with 28 offset front and 10 offset in rear. I want go AGRESSIVE due to the custom wide body being made for the car. They shop is going with an inward design over a outwards wide body. So my question is can I still space them out (making the 12 all around) and if i do how much curve or stretch should i use to keep me from tearing apart my tires OR do i need to even go there? Oh my current tire size is 275 30 r20 & 245 35 r20 .

Thanks for the pics, do you have any tire rub issues. Can you go lower if you wanted to. The size your running in the front with the spacer is because the brembo. Should I run something else if I have the regular brakes. If I plan on getting a BBK should I then run that size rim.

Here are some pic like u ask on pm of my setup 20x9 +15 ( hankook 245/35/20) and 20x11 +20 (hankook 285/30/20) . The car is stock height going to lower it on bc coils soon just need to get them installed along with my camber kit n need rear fender roll since i rub when i make fast turns on the back or hit bumps.I post the pics here since its the same rims on the topic enjoy guys.

Looks like speed bumps are no longer an issue. Do you plan on dropping it anymore?

no no spacer and im not sure if i could run BBK with this, probably yes since the offset isnt really low or negative but dont take my word for it.

yep i know but 8MM in person makes a difference trust me lol but you should narrow it down to what u want flush look or sticking out look.I prefer sticking out makes the car look so aggressive its when you look away from the back lol You also have to keep in mind if you dropping the car in the future ull probably need to get fenders rolled to run +20 offset and maybe a lil neg camber but not sure yet havent drop mine yet.

Front 20x11 +28 offset
- with a 25mm spacer = +3 offset.
- 2 inch wider wheel means you will stick out 1 inch more on each side of the rim, so 25mm (1inch = 25.4mm) further out of your fender.
*overall difference is 14 mm further out + the 25 from the rim width = 39mm further out than current.

Rear 20x11 +10 offset
- with a 25mm spacer = -15 offset.
- 0.5 inch wider wheels means you will stick out 0.25 inch more on each side of the rim, so 6mm further out.
*Overall difference is 28mm + the 6mm from a wider rim = 34mm further out


I dont know if this makes sense, but these are VERY AGGRESSIVE, so I hope your wide body is wide...

I have rub issues on front left, but its managable. I dont think i can lower anymore all around unless i roll my fendors.

I was told that the G35 coupe pictured on Rohana's website used 20x10 +40 front wheels with a 10mm spacer and cleared the non-brembo's no problem. I needed a 20mm spacer to clear my OEM brembos. I have no idea what would be required for a BBK.
