Especially when you plan on driving aggressively on a lowered G with OEM shocks.
It sounds like such a horrible idea when you say it.. lol I'll go checkout some setups at the meets then.

Thinking of getting some 19x11 all around.

How would 19x11 +25 get on up front on a 03 Coupe? any clearance issues? (non brembo) not too worried about the guard plastics as they can be remoulded.

Cheers guys

One of my OEM wheel locks broke, probably due to my spacers. Now I'm looking into a set of extended lugs, should I get 12 x 1.25mm or 12 x 1.5mm?

Aggressive wheels on stock suspension?

Hey everybody, I want to start off by saying this is my first post on here. Been reading on the forums for a long time but just recently made an account.

Now, that aside, my question is in regards to wheel fitment.

I currently have OEM Rays on my 04 DG coupe. Someone is offering a straight up trade for varrstoen es2's, 19x10 +12 and 19x10.5 +15 with 255/35 & 255/45 tires. I am on stock suspension and I will be low eventually, but I do not want to drive my car around if it's going to look silly on these wheels or rub.

Have any of you ever seen this type of fitment or similar on stock suspension? Thanks in advance for any advice or help.

P.S I did try searching, and found nothing. I also want to apologize if this is in the wrong section.

EDIT: If anyone thinks I'm insane for trading quality wheels for varrstoens, a big reason is that my wheels have quite a bit of curb rash. It'd be $400 to get them refinished and then I'm still looking at spending more money on spacers (which I don't like to begin with) if I want a wider/more aggressive look.

Quick fitment question

Okay guys, I have a little bit of a dilemma. I have found a very nice set of IForged Aero wheels for an amazing price. I'm contemplating purchasing them for my 04 G35 coupe w/brembo package, car is at stock ride height, but I do have K SPORT Kontrol pro coil overs. Wheel specs are as follows: 20x10 +25f, 20x12 +20 . Im afraid of those offsets. I am currently running H&R spacers 15mm front 20mm rear. Any advice would be greatly appreciated... What will it take to get a decent fitment from this setup outside of relipping???

Coupe. 19x11 +25 up front. Will it work? Has anyone run this? Will it hit anything other than the plastic liner?

rubber fitment/offset advice and forged wheel recomendations

Running stock rays on my 07 6MT coupe, wanting to get new wheels with wider rubber for summer tires, and I don't want to rub, ever (I just hate the sound/feeling, not to mention what it'd physically be doing to $1300 worth of michelin super sports).
Car is not slammed, maybe 1" drop now, and will soon get coilovers which I'm hoping will bring drop to no more than 0.5" or so.
I'd like to avoid rolling fenders- I will if I have to.
Have no intentions of using any spacers at this time.

Please pardon me if I reveal a basic ignorance of wheel geometry and fitment- what can I say, I'm a noob.

I'm guessing that at OEM offset our wheels are not perfectly centered in terms of clearance, that there's a bit more clearance either inboard or outboard. If this is the case, it would seem to follow that as the rubber gets wider the offset could be changed to push wheel into zone where clearance is maximized. If my assumption about OEM offset not being perfectly centered is wrong please let me know, ignore the parts of my questions below regarding offset, and I'll just try to find wheels as close to OEM offset as possible.

Rubber sizes I'm considering:

245/35/19 (or even 255/35/19 if I can get away with it, better diam. match) and 275/35/19 - can these ride rub-free without rolling, and if so, what would be the ideal "rub free" offset for front and rear (an ideal number and a + and - range you think would still work would be awesome, really help me feel safer when buying wheels)

255/30/20 and 285/30/20 - same questions as above. Yes, I doubt these will work without rolling, especially in the rear, but I'm guessing there's an appropriate offset that will work best, need the least amount of fender rolling.

Wheels: Not so concerned about what they look like. Most concerned about (in descending order of preference):
available in appropriate offset (per above questions)
forged (unless someone can tell me why I shouldn't care so much)
strong
light
best bang for the buck
natively hub-centric

The "best bang for the buck" part can sometimes seem absurd, especially when one has high expectations. I know I'm not going to find a wheel that meets my criteria at $300/ea, and I know there's probably a few good options in the $1000+/ea category. I'm hoping someone has had good experiences with forged, strong, relatively light wheels somewhere in the middle. If no such beast exists, oh well, I'm prepared to start saving my pennies, not going to cheap out when it comes to suspension.

Thanks in advance to anyone who's had the patience to read through all this and have any useful advice for me.

Ethan
