Wheel Advice and input! PLEASEE

Ok I realy am in need for a new wheel setup. I love my G but the sight of my wheels on my car now makes me discusted..I need something that will set off my car. If you want to look at my profle/albums and look at my G, its a blk/blk 06 coupe with EVERYTHING blacked out (everything but the exhaust tips). I wanted to go with another pair of 20'' wheels, with a lager rear lip.

My setup now
Foose Df-5 powdercoated blk
9" all the way around but somehow i have 245/275 stargerred setup on it? thats the way it was a year ago when i bought it so i got new tires a few months ago and just kept it the same.

Questions..

#1 Whats the biggest rear wheel size i can fit while still using my 275/30/20 tire? I have a 30mm spacer in the back, and i dont want to use spacers if i dont need them (non-brembo)

2. Any good shops in miami/ft.laud for wheels? Any wheel suggestions?
i would like to keep the wheel completly black lip and face

3. would i need to roll my rear fenders? danny you out there i remeber when i met up with you to get that radar u said u had a homemade fender roller?

My price range is anywhere from 1200-2000 wheels only

aight thx guys for any advice!

Im thinking right now i like the axis penta with black face and lip..i dont want anyhting too expensive..just cant afford to drop 3 grand on wheels..( but i sure would love to!)

I have the tein basic coilovers and in the rear of of my G i have like a half inch to 3/4 inch space inbetween the fender and wheel. would i be able to drop it a lil more so make it look like you have yours where its like right on the wheel? and whats involved with rolling the fenders? how long does it ussualy take?

You could drop it real low if you like the only thing is u gotta be ok with it and know how to drive.. Danny did my fenders and it dont take long really prolly like 20 mins or so? All depends on how low ur willin to go. U might wanna be slammed but remember the consequences

yeah i dont know if I should go too low because i am down at southbeach 5 days a week and the roads down there are horrible. imalways swerving and going like 15-20 mph. potholes everywhere! so pretty much if i Lowered it anymore i would just risk the chance of bottoming out, rubbing my tires? and escobar...your DPE's arnt black r they?

I think they mean Carlos from Auto Glitz. He's a good guy can definitely help you out with ur set-up. Wheels, suspension, alignment. Not too sure about the powder coating but you can always ask.
