Curious about offset rims

Waddup guys!! New to the website. Just got a 03 g35 coupe with 51000 on it. Looking for some rims and i see a lot off people have offset rims. I want 20s but i was wondering do they have to be offset?

depends on what kind of look you want. Do you want a deep lip or something more flush.

Something more flush. I bought a set before i got the car but they're not offset (didn't know what offset was till i found this set). 20x9s all four. will those work or should i get another set?

Ditch them and get something more like a 20x9.5 and 20x10.5. The offsets you should be looking for shoud be more like a +17 for the front and a +25 for the rear. Also is your car equipped with Brembo brakes?

Okay. The 9's will work but you wont get much lip and or flushness out of them.

+25 in the rear

anything over +17 for the rear, is major fail

for the wheels to be flush you need the offset to be btwn +10 to +17 all around. +10 will give you a lil pokeage, +17 on the flushish side

if you want major pokage, then +10 and lower

some are even going to negative offsets

with that said, most aftermarket wheels you find, the offsets are gonna be in the +20 range

unless you get something custom, DPE, HRE, Works, etc

so thats when spacers come into play
