toughest offset for V35 Coupe

I would also like to know the best most aggressive offset BUT FOR A 2003 COUPE without rolling fenders or scrubbing (i know its probably not called aggressive if you dont roll fenders)

I have not lowered the car but here in australia we have these stupid cement blocks in car parks which barely scrape under the lip of my coupe right now with 225/40/18 tyres.

So if i stick with the 18 x 8", but get 225/45/18f and 245/45/18r - what offset will look the best without rolling or scrubbing?

you can go up to 285/30 (maybe 35) on rear and 245 easily fit up front. as for offest. I'm leaving that to people who know more than I

well if your not lowering the car, somewhere in the 20+- 2
the rear you can do from 18-22, to sorta run it up to the fender...without lowering

if you lower, u will want a lower offset due to the fact the rims will camber in as u go lower
for example:
my 20s with 37 front, sucky offset, so im getting a spacer thats 15, pushes it to +22, i coulda gone 20 but i think thats gonna require a roll
the rear is 38 and will be adding a 20mm, which will bring it down to +18, im lowered on Gstechs...

anthing in the 20s should be ok..why not get a modest drop, just watch where your parking before you hit the parking bumps like how we have here in the US? itll make the car loookkkk10000x better

Your contradicting yourself. How can a rim be aggressive yet be a OEM rim? Your asking someone to find the wetest part of the ocean. Aggressive would be 18x12 +6 not 18x8 +60

I might be using my mates 350z suspension when he decides to upgrade but that will be at a much later date. so in the meantime, i can safely do +22 in the front and +20 in the rear with those 18" profiles?

well in order to have an aggressive wheel setup you need to be pretty damn low otherwise it will poke like hell, but if you are looking for REALLY aggressive for a stock height then you're not looking at very aggressive specs

and understand that when you want aggressive setups they ALWAYS include rolling fenders and at one point WILL rub these and more are the tradeoffs otherwise you will have yet another generic g35

naw you should be fine

what i would suggest is like 19x9.5 +7 and 19x10.5 +15 or so on 245/35 and 265(275)/35 that is if you don't want to stretch the tires
