OffSET QUESTION?

Ok guys so im in the process of getting some Leon Hardiritt Rasen Wheels for my 03 ob 5at coupe. Thing is im going 20's all around.... so im going 20x9.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear...i just dont know what offsets to go by...i want them to still be staggered if that still can be achieved..just kinda lost right now and dropping $4k isnt something i wanna do and not know if they will be offset correctly, oh by the way im adding 350zTein H tech springs...and SPC front and rear camber kits..thanks in advance!

Depends on how flush you want to be, if you are going to camber/stretch your tires. Typically somewhere around single digits is pretty aggressive and nice and flush, but not everyone wants that look.

if you want semi aggressive with 9.5 and 10.5 set up on a coupe, you're looking at higher to mid positive single digits, at zero you will definitely be in the fairly aggressive and stretch range.

I would say anywhere +12 or less would be a good range.

I find that pictures really help you decide on what offsets you need. So I'll show you mine.

20x9.5 and 20x10.5, +15 all around. 245/35 and 275/30.

Front and rear fenders are rolled. I was rubbing in the front when I hit bumps and sudden dips in the road, but the fender roll helped that. I'm starting to think I should have done 245/30 in the front instead. Oh well though.

Thanks a lot, Tim. Its been a work in progress and finally, I'm at a level where I'm comfortable and happy with the exterior of the car. Now just gotta do the engine bay and some other minor stuff.

When are you going to take some high res images of your car, Tim? Go flaunt them new wheels you got.

Gotta get the tire situation fixed then the car will be ready for a proper photo shoot. Hoping to have that taken care of this week.

Tires that came with the wheels are all wrong. 235/35 and 275/30. Replacing them with 245/40 and 255/40. Car looks like a freaking 4X4 even on my current suspension setup, and it rides like ****. Rear stance looks freaking great though!!
