Help with sizing wheels.

I've decided that I want the Axis Pentas in 20's. But I don't want to go with a staggered setup simply because I want to be able to rotate them. So my question is this, would these wheels fit my car?

20x9 5x114.3

What about the offest? What does that do and where do I need it to be?

Also, I'de like the wheels to sit flush with my fender line so that the wheels aren't inside the wheel well. Will these wheels sit flush or do I need spacers? If so, what size spacers do I need?

sure they will, it just needs the right offset. 20x9 +40 with a 245/35 would look nice all around.

it also depends,

are you going to drop the car, and with what camber are you comfortable with...

I'm positive 20X9 will fit in the fronts,
I'm actually thinking of doing the exact same thing, 20X9 all around so I can rotate...
245/35/20 or 255/35/20 fits fine and they're so ridiculously cheap, it's ridiculous....

dropped or not a 20x9 will fit with the right offset and tire size either way.

I'm missing something ... Dazz07G35S said his tires rubbed and he was selling his wheels and tires. Wouldn't that mean the wheels did not fit?

I asked the exact same question:

https://g35driver.com/forums/showpos...&postcount=515

he said the rears doesn't fit, he had 20X10 +25 and running 255/35 on stock cambers, I 'think' he can fit his set up if he ran a slightly negative camber, but yeah, I'd probably get a +35 if I wanted 20X10 in the rear and dropping the car (and running maybe a -1 to -1.5 camber)...

he said the rears rubbed when he had a load. If he increased the negative camber by 1.0 degree it would have been fine, but that would mean running around -2.5

20X9 +25 in the front is pretty aggressive (to me) anyways, it really depends on your style... but at least we know it'll fit...

If the guy was lowered and had the stock camber, he would have a camber kit. I wonder why he didn't dial up the camber to see if that would fix his problem. I agreee ... with enough camber, you can get a lot under there. But one has to really want that big lips on there to justify the cost of 20" tires.

But back to the OP's question ... I agree with your 20x9/40 recommendation.
