Will these fit 07 coupe?

Eagle Alloy Wheels Model #25 Bolt Pattern: 5 X 114.3 or 5 X 4.5. Size: 20"x8-1/8".
5 lug.
Toyo Proxes S/T: 255/45/20.


They are 20's and I don't want to have to roll the fenders.... any ideas?

Not sure but...

Not sure exactly what they would look like, just looking for low budget options...

You have a nice car, why throw on some cheap wheels? It also depends on the offset for it to fit or not. Also, you will want to run a staggered setup.

I was thinking the same thing about the cheap wheels... I was just looking for temporary options, change it up a little.... Why exactly do I want to run a staggered setup? Handeling? Performance? Granted, this is my first true performance car, but prior to this I had never heard of a staggered setup. I would prefer to be able to rotate the tires to ensure even tread wear so as to extend the life of my tires. I am at the point now where I have to replace rears at 20k miles, the guy at discount tire said no set of tires on the rear would get more than 20k miles due to the fact that they can't be rotated. I would love to see 40k miles out of a set of tires, even if I have to adjust my driving habbits a bit Also saw a set of 18 OEM's nonstaggered... didn't even know that was possible, do you think someone just peiced together two sets?


Edit: listing of the nonstaggered oems:

"I have for sale 4 wheels off a 2004 G35 coupe. 18x8.0", +30mm Offset, 5 lug x 114.3mm/4.5". All four wheels are the same size and offset, not staggered. Included are two 225/40-18 tires with excellent tread, 8-9/32"

I think the wheels above will look ok on the car, just not sure how the 20's will affect the handeling/performance, if I decide to drop the car, will the 20's get in the way? If the tires are in good shape, it is a heck of a deal, even if the rims are cheap!

if you are on a budget, go with OEM 19's with tires. None of the eagle bs. Those tire sizes are way too huge, they aren't staggered, and you didn't tell us the offset

Seller just stated the following: The tires are Toyo. The wheels are 5x114.3 zero offset


Ok, how about the 18 OEM's nonstaggered? What will those be like? how will the nonstaggered be compared to my current stock setup with staggered 17's? I may be completely off base but I thought rotating tires was a positive so as to increase tread life? I do like the 19's... now I just have to find some! Ok, we can get past the 20's... if you guys are willing to insist that much I have to listen, that is why I asked after all!
