The stretch won't be exactly even but it's much better than 225 front and back and will give you a little extra ground clearance up front.

I strongly suggest you run a little more camber though going with the +17

Here, this is Viveks old set up
the offsets are
Front 9.5 +4
Rear 10.5 +17
Camber is about -3ish in the back
Tires are 225/35 and 235/35 I believe.

YES!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! JUST WHAT I NEEDED!!!!!!

so now im thinking this would be a little too agressive for my taste (too much pokage) i like the stretch look.... this is hard man!

I dont know what to do. Im sure on the fronts im set there. its just the back im completely lost. Maybe i need to go a step back and get more conservative offsets?

I am following this chart here and looking at the Odisk section
http://www.workwheelsusa.com/media/w...5/VSXX_PDF.pdf

What i can do is get the fronts 9.5 +29 (84mm lip) and add a 15mm spacer
and have the back 10.5 +29 (97mm lip) (maybe 5mm?)

Well the only reason to stretch tires is too fit more aggressive wheels.

Those disks would work work fine, the reason you want the high offset up front is so you still have staggered lips right?

You could still go for a mild stretch and do 255/35 rear and 235/35 front.

Then run -2 degrees of camber, roll your fenders totally flat and add a small spacer in the rear and then what ever you might like in the front once the wheels are on the car.

would give you somewhat of a similar look to this

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. MAYBE JUST A BIT MORE IN THE REARS (5mm) AND ILL BE SET.

I can also do this right

19x9.5 +19 (Adisk) 235/35
19x10.5 +29 (Odisk) 255/35

to have staggered and to avoid spacer up front?

Sure, but I'd still recommend a spacer in the future, maybe a 5mm up front.

Those specs with a 5mm out back will be a tiny bit more aggressive than what I posted a photo of, so that should be perfect for you.

Hmmm, IMO the gold is too gold with work, but the silver doesn't contrast enough to make them stand out.

Out of those I vote gold, but if it were me, I'd do burning black or something darker so it contrasts. The again, you could always paint the faces down the road....

IMO neochrome is kind of car to car. It's head turning but I don't know if you'll get bored or not.

Newchrome looks bad *** though no doubt.

Hey guys, I just had a few questions about offsets.
If I'm planning to run 20s on my coupe, would the offsets 15F/15R rub at all?
Wheels are R1 Hype 20x8.5F, 20x10R
They'd be wrapped in 245/35 in the fronts and 275/30 in the rears.
Would they rub if I dropped them on 350z Htechs?
Also...this is probably a dumb question, but would 20s make my car look higher than on oem 19s? LOL
