Ok, im pretty much dumb when it comes to wheels as I never bought rims before. I want to add a set of wheels to my G but they HAVE to be staggered. My question is whats the biggest this car can handel? I wanted to go 20's but everything I find in 20's is usually 20/10 in the rear. I tried on my friends 20's yesterday which are 20/10 rear with 275 tires and it stuck out wayyy to far. He was running these tires and his coupe and it looked sick but it was just to big for the sedan. Im guessing probably the biggest I can go for this car is 19/8.5 for the front with 245 tires and maybe 19/9.5 with 265 tires for the rear? Any knowledge on this would help me alot.

Also what does offset mean?

 

You can run 9's in the front and 10's in the rear. The size tires you decide to put on your wheels also will determine the rubbing factor as well. Also keep in mind tat coupes and sedans have different offsets. Offsets basically determine how much the wheels will poke out. The higher the offset the less poking out the wheel will do. The lower the offset the more the wheel will poke out. You can run a 20x10 in the rear but just get an offset thats like like +25. The biggest wheel that I've seen on a sedan is a 22! There is also someone on the forum runnning 22's.

 

I would suggest you stay with something in the 8.5" front with 35(ish)mm offsets and 9.5" rears with 40(ish)mm offsets. I would also suggest a 275 tire on the rear. You can stuff 10" wide rears under the car and get it to tuck in the fenderwell with the right offsets and a drop, but its very tight. For my money, I would stick with the 9.5' rears and be safe. You can go 20s as long as you can find 20x9.5s for the rear, its seems like most are 20x10.

Take a look at the Custom Rims thread in the picture share forum or tool around and look at some others setups. Most people list what their sizes/offsets are. Pick the look you like- and try and find some wheels you like that come in the right sizes.

 

As others have mentioned, coupe and sedans use different offsets. Also, the wheel/tire actually moves inboard if you lower the car.

Most (if not all) 2 piece wheels are either 8" or 10" wide as most manufacturers use standard barrels. You can also go to a three piece application and get the wheel in 1/2" increments. There are pros and cons for each. 3 piece wheels tend to weigh more, cost more, and are easier to customize. 2 piece wheels usually cost less, can be made to pretty much any offset you want, but the barrel can not be chromed.

It is also possible to "tweak" the offset of wheels by either adding spacers between the wheel and hub or shaving some material off the wheel mounting face.

For the 07 sedan lowered WITHOUT camber correction, you will need more than +40mm offset for 10" wide wheels(which is the most aggressive I've seen so far). Depending on your final suspension configuration, I'm guessing you would need +45mm (or more) to fit a 10" wide wheel.

 

alrights guys thanks, that cleared up everything i needed to know.

 

Be sure to show us the wheels your getting!!! We are ALL wheel ******!!! haha
