going aggressive - need advice on 20x13.5
I made up my mind on Work VS-xx rims for my G coupe 04 (currently on stock 17s, non-brembo, dropped 1.5", with camber and toe kit). I certainly want 20's, I was wondering what offset I need to make 13.5 fit for rear while keeping fender work to the minimum? I believe I need the lowest offset I can go for, whats the lowest offset I can go for?

9.5/13.5 lol oh boy.
Well for starters there is no way it's gonna work w.o some significant fender work cause you will need a low offset if you are even thinking about it having any inner clearance. So pretty much it's not gonna happen.
Put it this way. I just went out to measure this for you. And with my pulled and flared fenders it's exactly 13.5" from the shock tower to the fender. For reference i'm running a 20x12 with a -8 offset. You will have to run something equivalent, ie. 20x13.5 +10 and even then i wouldn't do it(i would go more aggressive). Your wheels camber in as you compress so one hard dip and your wheels is now getting effed up while effing up your shock tower. IMHO i wouldn't go more than 12.5, and especially with 20's. You are going to have to do extensive fender work, a good amount of camber and ALOT of stretch for this to work.

^^^ actually take that back. I want to see how this looks. Just do it. It hasnt been done before, but dont let people tell you it cant be done. But consider getting 10.5 front wheels.
An 11" +24 just clears the inner suspension.
ShaneG, you have almost 2cm more inner clearance than me.
for the same inner clearance on a 13.5 as the 11"+24you'd need a 13.5 -8.
and then that would extend past the fender like a 10.5" -46 ! That would barely fit a widebody
