Hey my friend just gave me his wheels that came off his car. I was wondering can i fit a:

Front = 8.5' wide...40+ offset. Front tire is 245/35/20
Rear = 10' wide...40+ offset. Rear tire is 275/30/20

Also I know I prob need spacers, so what should i run in the front and rear ?

Can i run this on coupe with brembos ?

yes, those would work. your gonna need spacers with those high offsets. i would at least say 20mm all around without knowing if your lower'd or not.

Hopefully someone can give me an answer.

I have 20x9.5 front and 20x11 rears. Putting on 225/35/20 and 255/35/20.
My car is currently lowered on Tanabe springs. The question is, will I need to roll/pull my fenders? Or should I be OK, since I'm not slammed.

^^ depends on your offset and camber. Do you have adjustable camber arms?

No, everything is stock except the springs. I don't have the offset exactly, I think like +11 front and +18 rear. I know I got a setup so I can run BBK. I figured I don't need cambers cuz I'm not low at all.

I'm just wondering if I'll be able to drive it out the shop without rolling my fenders until I get my coilover and camber setup. Until then I didn't sangho worry about rolling/pulling the fender. Cuz the car will be in the garage til summer.

couple of questions. The car being spoken of is a 2006 g35, 19in wheel sport package(spoiler gives it away right?)

1) The bolt pattern is 5x114.3 right? so wheels with a 5x130 won't fit would they?
Reason being I can't find anywhere that sells 19x10.5 axis penta's in a 5x114.3 pattern

2) with everything else stock do you think this setup would rub

Front: 19x9.5 +22 255/35zr/19
Rear: 19x10.5 +22 285/35zr/19

3) If so, what about:

front: 19x8.5 +22 245/35
rear: 19x9.5 +22 275/35

4) If you think both of those will rub what would you suggest? Also, if I am correct about the 5x130 bolt pattern not fitting, does anyone know of a place I could buy them in the correct pattern?

New guy here! shopping for some wheels right now. There are the 19" wheels on the car right now, but I might want to switch them up to a different style. Just looking around right now. i am an ebay shopper, just for styles, will source the wheels elsewhere. But, I found these "concept one" wheels. They look pretty cool, price seems about right.

They are:

19x8.5 +38mm

It says 5x4.5 is the same as 5x114.3 so it'll fit that way, what about the offset?

They are also available in 19x9.5 for staggered, but they have the same offset. Seem about right? Seems iffy to me but wanted to ask!

Someone told me you'd need to run a 25mm to clear O disc.
