need help from those with 20" rims

i have a 2003.5 sedan and am looking to buy 20"x8.5 zenetti five's for my car. they're 5x114.3 and have a +40 offset. i know the wheel gap is going to be annoying and since i know nothing about cars, i am wondering what type of suspension setup would be best. i'd like something as close to stock as possible since i dislike stiff suspensions. i've been searching and reading posts for about an hour and i also see that i need springs that lower the front more than the back. i'd appreciate any type of help, thanks ahead of time

Well, I have 20" Zenetti Fives so you have come to the right place!

Mine are 20x8.5 and 20x10 but I did also have 8.5's on the rear at first. Any of the usual springs will work well. I have H&R's which look great but Eibach and Tein will also do the trick. You will be out of camber spec with those. If you want to get rid of most of the gap but not go quite as low then consider unrevised 350Z springs.

I am thinking about selling my wheels once I can save up enough for a set of iForged. Depending on when you are ready to buy these mine might be on the market.

Here are a few shots to give you an idea of what they will look like:






10's do fit and don't rub if you roll your rear fenders:

I know!

Here are the weights:

Zenetti Five Chrome
20x8.5 - 38lbs
20x10 - 42lbs

iForged Aero Polished
20x8.5 - 28lbs
20x10 - 29lbs

All I can say is wow... that would help a lot!

Does anyone know what the stock 17" sedan sport wheels weigh?
