Aggressive wheel fitment help me out im a newb

in a few months Ill get my bonus from the army, I plan on buying wheels for my 03 coupe w/brembos.

Car has been lowered.

Heres the catch I found 3 wheels that are all concave and all look damn near alike, slight differences in all.

Id like to do 20x10.5 all around like that one G that had vossens on it. I fell in love with that.


Niche Nurburg $1300
http://www.elementwheels.com/proddet...rod=m88120105S

Stance Sc5 $1700
http://www.elementwheels.com/proddet...%2Dsc520105sil

Vossen CV3 $2400
http://www.elementwheels.com/proddet...%2Dcv320105sil

I realy didnt like the price of the vossens but I see how concave they are and I do like, I keep leaning to the stance until I saw the niche

Anyone have experience with any of those wheels so I can narrow it down, I talked to my boy with a 350 and he said just get the cheapest ones and be done lol.

Any ideas? or pics of those wheels mounted, and showing the concavity of them aswell? What offset should I go with and tire size. No plans on stupid camber I hate that look, this G I posted is perfect thanks

All dead links so I can't see the specs.

List the specs that the other two wheels are available in.

Seems like Stance comes in +27mm
http://www.elementwheels.com/proddet...ta-sc520105sil

Niche in +25mm
http://www.elementwheels.com/proddet...rod=m88120105S

Vossen in +15mm

Vossens will look the biggest since spokes reach all the way to the edge of the rim. With a lip, the rim looks smaller sometimes, weird illusion

Stance and Niche are out of the question as the offset is too higher. The Vossens will also require spacers but are doable....

IMO, 20mm spacer in the back and 15mm spacer in the front, drop the car 3", natural camber (run camber arms and adjust the rest of the way if the car doesn't naturally pull enough camber) and run a 245/35 or a 235/35 depending how much stretch you want.

245/35 would be my pick.

So based on what your saying the front will be +0 front, and -5 rear (effective) and 245s all around and a bigger drop. IDK what springs im running now but its def lower then stock forsure. What spring (if any) will lower my car 3"

BTW I also have a nismo bumper, and impul sides, will it be too low? lol

No springs upgrade to coils to get that drop you see pictured , roll rear fenders and front and go with a spc , eibach , wicked tuning rear camber kit for proper adjustment . 245 front made even 255 rear

I second this notion. Following Blain's advice will damn near make your wheel specs similar to mine.

^ which is sick

As jay said, go coilovers. Aggressive and springs shouldn't be used in the same sentence, unless telling people not to use those words in the same sentence.

Stance or F&F coils are very reasonable with their prices and can get you pretty darn low. From first hand experience I'm on BC's with the shorter rear spring option and they too will definitely satisfy your requirements.

I was looking at those stance Coilovers, I have never seen a set of coils go that low to look like your on bags. WTH. Looks like that might be the ticket, Geez this car is a money bucket, but im willing to throw some coins in it

after some thought I think Im gonna do the stance wheels, vossens look good but stance look just as good and are cheaper, I want the coilovers and I cant fathom spending about 3200+ 1200 for wheels tires, and coilovers. I can do ~1700+1200. I also already bought some 30mm spacers for the 19" rays and I can run those on the stance and get -3 offset on a 27. So no need to buy spacers again. Will it work right without a retarded amount of camber? Please say yes lol. I like the vossens but not that price (only an e2 about to get promotored to e3 in a few days) Thats over half of my initial bonus if I get vosseens, plus I need to get the car painted along with the Nismo bumper and other things I bought for it so far.
