Attn: Fellow G35 coupe owners with sick offsets!

As many of you guys know, I own a set of 19" HRE wheels.
I'm posting this to see ur thoughts and opinions on what I should do.
Currently the set up is:
Front: 8.5" width with 35mm offset
Rear: 9.5" width with 30mm offset

My goal is to get rid of this nasty tuck.

I'm sending the wheels to HRE to have the entire wheels redone.
Meaning, I will have a new Lip being put on.
Rears will be 11"-11.5" width (checking on options)
Fronts will be 9" width

My question to you guys is, what exact offset will I need to make these look SICK! I want a fat stance with an amazing lip (I know this a hit and miss question) I've searched all the way across the g35driver planet AND back.
I will be spending somewhere around $3000-$5000 depending on how custom I want them,polished lip, etc.

As far as tires,
Rears:I'm looking at 285/30 or 295/30 whichever will fit.
Fronts: I'm looking at 245/35.

I love the style of these wheels on my G and thats why I'm keeping them and spending some dough on having them PERFECT!
Thanks guys for all you do and all your help!

wouldn't it be the same price to just reorder the same style wheels for about the same price? Anyway...are you into the stretched look? How about 265-275 on the 11in rear? You'll get the rim to stick out a little further. Less protection but clearly aggressive looking.

These wheels brand new are 1350 per rim. And Ive been trying to sell them forever, but no one wants them, so I might as well have them done.

I do like the stretched look, but want more of a wide aggressive look. Thanks for the help though, it gives me some ideas.

My opinion...sell the wheels and order new ones.

As far as aggressive offset between -5 and +10 would be aggressive to me. You'll have to mod the fenders and run negative camber w/ some stretch.

As a side note...most hardcore guys buy the wheels super aggressive and fit the CAR to the wheel. Not the other way around.

first, go A LOT lower, secondly if you want sick aggressive wheels get smaller tires that way you can go lower in a sense and be able to stretch them. 19x9.5 -10 with a 225/35 and a 19x10.5 -10 245/35


the offsets are just an estimate, you can play around with it, i suggest know the math of the offsets or use an offset calculator

but go WAY lower first

Ok so assuming you dont really want to stretch and with the sizes you mentioned. I would prob put your offsets around~
+0 for the front
+10 for the rear

since you are changing the whole wheel though why not go wider in the front to possibly a 9.5 or 10" up front?

I wouldn't go less that 9.5 up front , I would probably go 10 with an 11 rear.

Offset ?? What is your goal , do you want the HELLA Flush look with 2 inches of wheel sticking out and the tire under the well or do you want it nice and flush with a minor stretch ?

I want it nice and flush, maybe sticking out a bit, with hardly any stretch.
I'm thinking 9.5" front and 11" rear, not too lowered, but with enough tire to where it looks good and not like a rubber band. (road here in OKC suck!)
And thanks to all who wasted their time, as well as mine, by replying with non-relations to what I am doing.

I would say 9.5 +15 to +20 up front with a 255/35 and the 11 in the rear with +20 to 25 will get you nice and flush.
