Ebay auction ends in a little, need urgent advice

Will +30 offset fit on a sedan? 20 X 8.5 with 245/35/20

I would think not. I have a 32 in the front with 8", but it is very close. In the rear, there is less room unless you roll the fenders. I would go with a 38. That seems to be a good offset for most people.

Looking at the charts and the stock offset for the sedan, you can use the rims. But a word of warning, you more likely will need to roll the fenders on the rear to make sure that you do not rub.

I have seen 2 G35 Sedans with the G35 Coupe 18" rims. The Stock 18s for the coupe is +30 offset, it pretty much flushes with the fender when using 225/45/18.

Thanks. If I rolled both front and rear it would give me even more room correct?

What is involved in rolling the fenders?

Rolling the fenders is taking the inner lip of the fender wall and having the "rolled" up. Just take you hand and feel the rear fender edge, there is a lip. Basically it will be rolled up so that it will not hit the rim/tire when you hit any bumps or whatnot.

Also, you can only roll the rear fenders on this car. Hope this helps.

Re: Ebay auction ends in a little, need urgent advice

I know this probably doesn't help, because it is a late post, but check out this chart. They won't fit. You would have to do narrow tires, and even then you can't be sure. I wouldn't risk it that close, because it will be a huge PITA to fix the problem. The most aggressive offset I would do in an 8.5" rim would be maybe a 33 or 34 with a narrow tire and you would HAVE to roll the rear fenders. Otherwise your wheels are going to stick out like a sore thumb and possibly rub during cornering.

Re: Ebay auction ends in a little, need urgent advice

I know 38 works. Many have done it, usually without rolling fenders. 35 is pushing it, but I have heard of giovanni doing it without rolling. If rolling fenders isn't a big deal to you, and you are planning on doing it anyway, then 35 will probably work with a 245 tire.
