offset help 05 g35 coupe

i recently bought a set of volks that have g37 fitment of 19x9.5 30mm front and 19x10.5 37mm rear. i know the offsets are bad but i bought these cause im getting a g37 next year. will 20mm h&r bolt on spacers all around fit my coupe good. Will i need to do any fender rolling. Car is 05 g35 coupe with 19in rays not lowered. thanks in advance.

Are you lowered? Tire sizes? How flush do you want it to look? 20mm will help alot but it all depends on other factors.

If you do not plan on lowering your car, the offsets with 20 mm spacers (effective offset of +10 f, +17 r) would likely be to aggressive to not have any drop.

My suggestion would be to install the wheels and see how they look. Maybe add 10-15 mm spacers.

Being flush with no drop doesn't necessarily look all that great.

so maybe a 15mm all the way around. Do you think the wheels would mount and drive fine with out the spacers and not rub ?

Yeah, you'll be fine. Whether you slap on 15mm spacers or not.
The oem suspension gives plenty of wheel gap.
But ur prob going to want to lower it after you slap on the Volks.
Just looks so much better dropped.

You will definitely not rub if you run the wheels without spacers.

The thing is, when you put on aftermarket wheels, the factory wheel gap is going to appear to be even larger. It just doesn't look right when you have aftermarket wheels and a 4x4 suspension.

If you try to flush it out, it will just look that much worse.

your best bet would be buying a set of 350Z Tein h-techs or eibach springs.
Low cost and u can easily sell them when you sell the car.
