STERN wheels fitment question.. (pics)

I am wondering what size and offset I want.


I want 18x8.5 (front) and 18x9.5 (rear)


I am using the stock tire size,

225/45/18 (front)

245/45/18 (rear)



The 2003-2004 G35 coupe manuals have BREMBO brakes..


Here is someone on the forum, he has stern wheels with brembos in the sizes I want (18s staggered). However, he hasn't been on the forum in years, so I can't message him.


https://g35driver.com/forums/picture...-friendly.html



Can you tell me what offset front and rear I want?

The guy from the company got back to me and said this:


"you will want to use the +20 and +25 offsets. they will tuck and but you might need to use a 5mm spacer on the front. "

But judging by his grammar, and sentence use.. I am sure people on here have real experience with these wheels.


Thanks for any help,

Mike

i run a 9.5" rear with a +5 offset with a 275 tire and 1.6" camber and its barely flush.

so i wouldnt get any wheels with more than a +10 offset at those widths.

yah man, i would save up for some other rims. or maybe even stock 19s OEM-rays
but its all up to you.

Stern - i thought about getting those, its not that they are completely CRAP as most people say, but U CAN definitely see the quality problem after u put them on, u can notice that it doesnt look as good as it should/looks cheap on such a NICE looking car..
there are other brands that are a little more decent

TRUST ME, people notice cheap rims when they see it...
save your money and ull be happier

+1.... You'll notice the how cheap they are after baking some break dust on the clear coat. It won't come off and they will start hazing on the lip. You should go with other brand and it all depends on the casting. I've have "cheap" wheels that are pretty light and strong IMO.
