coupes offsets - no way. too low.... common sedan offsets for VSXX - 35-40 front; 40-45 rear

best setup ive seen so far - 19x8 +38 front (about 2 in. lip w/ A-disc); 19x9.5 +42 rear (about 3 in. lip w/ O-disc)

if you don't already know, the centers can be ordered to clear certain brake calipers if you plan on using BBK...

do you want to run conservative offsets with 1-2.5" lips? or aggressive offsets with 2-3.5" lips?

If you really want to push the sedan, then first things first... You'll need about a 2" drop with -2 degrees of camber all the way around.

Next, you'll need to be willing to stretch your tires, not a super stretch, but a mild stretch.

If you want to run aggressive offsets i'd recommend doing 19x8.5/9.5 +25 all around with 235/35F tires and 255/35R tires. Same thing for 20's. If you really want to push it, then i'd run 19x9/19x10 +25 with 235/245 tires.

For conservative offsets... 8.5 +35 up front with a 245 tire, 9.5 +45 in the rear with a 275 tire.

oops, forgot about that, i've had my fenders rolled forever so i dont even think about that any more

It's out there, but totally do-able. I'd try 8.5/9.5 +22 if someone wanted to lend me their wheels.

ask and you shall recieve... that's what were all the forum here for. Just know that you gotta pay to play.. if you want to run the aggressive setup i stated, know that your tires will wear out much much faster than average, you can flip them every 5-6,000 miles but you'll probably only be able to flip them once, which would equate to 10-12,000 miles out of a full set of tires. And with the car being dropped 2 inches, you'll have to watch out how big the speed bumps and driveways you go up are as you'll scrape on a lot of things. The paint on the inside of my front fender is rubbed completely off because of the 3" drop and going up driveways at too tight of a turn.
