Quick question. I'm going to rebarrel my rims.
The fronts are 20x9 +37 offset with a 1 inch lip.
The rears are 20x10 +40 offset with a 2 inch lip.
Now I'm rebarreling the front lips to a 4 inch lip and the rear to a 5 inch lip. What would my width and offsets become? I'm not trying to run any 20x13 or trying to undergo major body work to fit these on my car. Any help is appreciated!

Don't want to roll the fenders because there's a ton of salt used here and there's already some rust developing in my fender liners so rolling just makes it harder to clean in the winters. I'm likely going to get the rust removed from in there at the start of summer then just POR it and run some decent wheels.
Just get the inner fender undercoated and you're fine....
So the 19*9 +10offset should work and the 19*10 +15 should be good without a roll and you're saying that the 19*9.5 +15 and 19*11 +28 would also fit without a roll?
Yes, as long as the rear doesn't rub strut.
Call me insane but I also don't mind a little bit of a tuck with the wheels - looks a bit more natural to me than having them perfectly flush or even sticking out. Since I may be tracking the car on occasion, (and too lazy at times to swap back to my OEM 18's all the time), i'm tempted to go with the 9" and 10" setup for slightly lower rotating mass and slighty cheaper tires.
If you plan to track you NEED to roll the fenders. the amount of body roll these cars have you will definitely be cutting sidewall. If you plan to track, you want 19s, not only for tire cost but for weight.
Thanks for the help!

Within the next few months I want to swap out the OEM wheels. I tried reading the first few pages and very little applied to the sizes I'm looking to do. '06 Sedan with stock Z suspension (coils, struts, shocks all revised setup). Currently on OEM 10-spoke 18's and 20mm CZP spacers. Interested in the XXR 526 Black Chromium in 18X9. They list offsets of +35 and +25. From what I got off of the back of the OEM wheel is 42mm offset. With 20mm spacers, that puts me at 22mm offset. Correct? If not, where did my math go wrong? If correct, then I shouldn't have any issues putting the +25 option 18X9 wheels on? Meaning no fender rolling or pulling or cutting sidewalls with suspension travel? I'm not looking for "hellaflush" or staggered. I just want to line up the side real nice. I want to retain the proper tire diameter for the 18" wheels, so I need some recommendations for the proper tire to go on these without stretching sidewalls to get them on. No super low profile options please.
Math is right...
You'll want to roll the rears for this set up.
Tires I would run are 255/40 all the way around.
Hello,new member here with a bone stock 2004 G35 sedan Aero package
Just wondering if you could share some insight; I need to know if 18 x 8 , 40 mm offset wheels will fit my car with no issues. The rims are not staggered and the tires I plan to match them with are 235/55/18 zr tires
Any info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks very much

2. Offset has nothing to do with break clearance.

20x12 +1
20x13 +4
You'll need a full rebarrel to get decent sized lips on those wheels.
In all honesty, 5 inch lips come with some work you aren't just going to slap a wheel with 5 inch lips onto the car unless they like the XXR 526 or PIAA super rozza where they have a convex face giving the illusion of a wider lip.

So weird . I was talking to a rep from wheel flip who specialize in this and asked him about doing my fronts. He quoted me just for a lip rebarrel. And told me this.
Judging by the picture, I estimate that your front lips are about 2". If you want to make it a 6" lip, then your resulting size will become 20x13 -14 which is incredibly difficult to fit on your car. I would say that 20x10.5 +19 or 20x11 +12 are better options for a Lexus GS. That leaves you with roughly 3.5-4.5" of lip depending on the current sizing.
Is he wrong, or am I crazy.

No, he showed you the specs for relipping the front to have a 6" lip, not the rear.
Which is dumb, because the rear has a higher offset which would make it easy to fit in the long run. You're still never going to fit those on your car without knowing what you're doing.
And why is he talking about a GS?

Hey Blaine could you give me a quick run through on the difference in offsets for coupes and sedans in terms of flush, poke, and extreme
I'm more versed on coupes so if you could give me an idea what offsets are flush for sedans and what offsets require modifications other than just rolling fenders
