20" 9.5 front and 10.5 rear widths are what i usually see, i would go ahead and roll fenders you will want to drop the car down in the future right??

offsets speak with Tony bc i dont know anything on how to figure that one... i think if you stay in the teens +12 to +17 is pretty moderate +0 i see sometimes too

9.5 & 10.5.

If you don't ever plan on lowering your car then an offset around +15 to +20. You can do a 255 up front and a 275 or 285 in the rear. I advise you to roll your rear quarters because you're gonna not want the 4x4 look. I ran a 275 lowered on S-Techs with the rears rolled and had no rubbing issues. Good luck with whatever you choose to go with!

i plan to lower it after december. so then i plan to do 20's and 10inch at least in the rear i dont wanna go to low only like 1.5 drop or so. so what should my offset be with something like that? like +30? or lower offset?

unfortunately those are the lowest offsets those come in on the 20" rims and you will find that you will need spacers to make them flush with your wheel well. Don't get me wrong, they are nice rims but too bad the offsets aren't a little lower to fit the coupe better, these are more suited for a sedan.

yeah you will need a 10mm for the 8.5 front, 10.5 in the rear is perfect

and i agree +30 is kinda weak sauce if you can find something in the teens that would be much better

those wheels look nice too bro!

Take your time... Don't buy the wrong wheels for the sake of buying anything. Anything around high teens to mid 20 in offset is what you want. I'm on mobile but copy this kink into your browser http://rimtuck.com/photo/view/690/1243395086.jpg/1. It's 20x9.5 +23 & 20x10.5 +24. It's ideal for what you're looking for.
