oh no don't do that, don't let some shop figure out the offset for you

more often than not they will give you some terrible specs

you're better off searching up on here through pictures and stuff to see what would suit your car

if you are going to spend close to 3k on wheels why have them tuck or not be EXACTLY how you want, you know?

I wouldn't trust any old shop, but Hok down at JT Performance really knows his stuff - as Nissan / Infiniti's are their specialty.

Plus, if the shop specs the wheels and they don't fit, then its their problem, not mine. If i spec the wheels and they don't fit, then it becomes my problem and i'm really out $3000 bucks!

What kind of finish are those rims? (above link)

Thanks

Never, heard of Mike or Matt. I know John, Logan, and Jeremy. John & Logan are the main guys and Jeremy works in the warehouse reciving.

As for the finish, it's MSP (machine silver polish).

Also, the specs to not tuck will require a fender roll, best if it's flat. You can pull if you wish, but you don't have to. Just means you can't go as low with the offset. The shop will put you with a higher offset. I'm pretty sure whatever they say works, you can squeeze another 20mm out of it just by doing a roll, pull, and stretched tire...that is if you're trying to go for that. If you're not looking to go with stretched tires, then you will need a higher offset since the tire will be more prone to rubbing.

i hope so man, i got nothing against man but i have seen plenty of shops who offer terrible specs on wheels and when it comes down to it man its honestly your problem, they gave you what they thought would fit and its not about FIT its about being flush, because i can put like 9.5 +20 10.5 +20 on my car and they would fit but they would tuck like no tomorrow so its not about the fit, they will FIT its about being flush

thats machine silver polish

to give u an idea of the specs, thats my car

9.5 -8, 10.5 -8



yeah basically everything donpisto just said lol

Since you really seem to know what you are talking about, i'll definitely pay some consulting fees to you if you can spec out the wheels for me. I'm definitely looking for a look like the front wheel of that car you had.
I'll PM you and maybe we can work from there!

Thanks

haha naw man no fees dude, this is a free forum for everyone the information is given freely for all to see use and change as they see fit haha but yah shoot me a pm and we'll get you set with a nice set of wheels

there are also a lot of other users on here who are just as knowledgeable if not more at wheel fitment and all, so you can get the opinions of many on here
everyone is here to help out, especially for a person who has a good attitude and wants to learn

Let us pick your specs not a shop. Even though they are "infiniti" guys doesn't mean they know about what offsets are gonna give you the look you want. Remember +15 was a REALLY good offset a year and a half ago, now it's considered a weak setup.

Agreed. If I told a shop that I was doing 20x9.5 +3 on a sedan for the fronts, they would laugh at me...but then I'd laugh back and show em how I did it without even using camber arms.

Offset game has REALLY stepped up and people keep pushing it more and more. Good to see a change.

Yeah for sure. Go tell a shop even a "specialist" that you want an aggressive setup they will tell you 9.5/10.5 like +10 LOL

Lol...and then they'll say stretching tires isn't safe too, pretty sure of that.

My old setup was:

19 x 9.5 +24 R-Disc
19 x 10.5 +22 0-Disc

even tire shops that have stretched before ( tire central) say tire stretching isnt safe haha

Even if it is "safe" it doesn't look right. Like a fat chick trying to wear a thong 5 sizes too small.
