Which offset should i go with? Work Vs-XX

I just purchased a 6 Speed 2005 White G35 Coupe. It has the 19" sport wheels but not the brembro brakes. I will be ordering Work Vs-XX within the next few days. However im not for sure how offsets work.

Here is what i would like to have:

19" for sure.

2" front lip and a 4" rear lip.

19x9 19x10?? what offsets should i go with to achieve this look. Any information or other suggestions would be great.

I will be lowering the car maybe an inch and half down the road but not anytime soon. Also i would like it if i didnt have to roll the fenders as well.

Im used to civics and have always had volks on them but standard offsets for them are like +42 ona civic..

Help...

Jon O.

standard unless you have a BBK, with an aggressive size lip comes an aggressive offset

you can run the deep lip fitment in the rear if you don't plan on purchasing a bbk any time soon

9.5/10.5 +17 with 245/275 tires. lower it atleast an inch, roll your rear fenders and you're good to go.

in the deep lip 19x9.5 +23 and 19*10.5 +23

Would that offset work without rolling the fenders with about a 1.5 in drop? what would the lip size be on those offsets?

just some free advice, go to a shop to order these, you will get a ton of info on what everyone likes but that is to their own liking. Since you just bought the car you wont know what YOU like for some time. you will probably buy these wheels and sell after because they are too big or offset to low/high. so dont get attached to them. its part of the game. good luck.

My car has VS-XX, 20x9.5/10.5, +17 all around, 245's, 275's, no fender roll but it is dropped 1.8/1.5 so it has a bit of negative camber. no rubbing except if i go up a really steep incline with the front wheels turned and that is unavoidable. If you are going 10's, you can probably step it out to a +15, maybe even a +13, but i would recommend at least dropping it a little so you have that extra bit of engative camber. At stock height i think mine would rub a bit. Talk to Chris @ F1motorsports. His prices were unbeatable and his fitments were exactly what i asked for. Great guy!
