What are good coupe offsets?

Im looking at forgedstar F14 in gunmetal and wondering what offsets would fit my g35 coupe in an aggressive stance. I'm lowered on tein g35 s-techs and rolled rear fenders. I want it to be as aggressive as possible without rubbing front and rear and relatively stock camber. I would want to run 18X10 in the front and 18X12 in the rear if these sizes will fit and 265F and 285 or 295 in the rear if that will work.. here are their sizes
18×8.5 offsets from +26 to +50
18×9.0 offsets from +20 to +55
18×9.5 offsets from +26 to +60
18×10 offsets from +16 to +42
18×11 offsets from +23 to +55
18×12 offsets from +36 to +68

19x8.5 offset range +26 to +48
19x9 offset range +20 to +55
19x10 offset range +20 to +44
19x11 offset range +33 to +55

I'm thinking of getting 18s because they are lighter than 19s, but do you think they will look too small?

here is the website they are selling on, they used to be a vendor here but are no longer, so I can probably get better pricing on these than posted here.. opinions are welcome

I currently have 20" sevas s-22 that don't fit very flush and want to sell them if I can and buy some of these. Let me know if you need these as well . Can anyone photoshop these F14s on my car as well?

I run +17 front +18 back on 19" 9.5 and 10.5 -- it is pretty aggressive... you can definitely get more aggressive, but i never wanted to, I think this is a good stance.

^ that looks great.. I'm thinking of running wider wheels than yours and more of a stretched tire. What's a good width for the rear? Is 12 too wide? Should I go with 10+20 and 11+23

I'm running offsets below +10 on my wheels but it all depends on the look you are trying to achieve. If you are going for aggressiveness than anything below +15 is the place to start. Normally offsets between +18 and +25 are the standard.

if you're goig for the stretched look, you'll need lower offsets. Maybe negative(-) offsets to single digit offsets (+5). Will you be willing to run alot of negative camber?


Give us your best description of what you are trying to accomplish. Also, I would the check the aggressive/stretched tire thread to see what look and specs you want. It should help alot seeing other setups and knowing their specs.

^ sorry I wasn't clear . I don't want to run negative camber (I know stock is like -1.6?) so I don't really want to run more than stock camber settings if possible. So wider wheels (12inches) would not be any more aggressive at +30 than a 9inch rim at +30? Sorry I'm a wheel noob. I like the look kricci11 has but would like a little more stretch in the tires. Would I need to run single digits or negative offsets in order to achieve an aggressive stance, or would an 11inch or 12inch wide wheel look aggressive even with higher offsets than a 9inch wide

I like G35FTMFW's setup (hopefully he can chime in ) 20X9.5+5 20X10.5+0 cut fenders


are you running any negative camber? Did you ever run this setup with just rolled fenders, and did you rub?

Now I'm pretty set on the enkei RPF1 wheels in 18X10.5+15 all around.. Do you think I can fit a 265-275 tire on the front and 295 on the rear w/o modification? *I have rear fenders rolled flat but no flaring*
