Hi everyone!
I just purchased a pair of 20x8.5 rims from a buddy of mine (for $550 with tires, couldn't go wrong! Well hopefully). Tire size is 245/35/20 all around. The offset is +38 on both front and rear. How would I go about making them fit perfectly/flush?
Thanks in advance!

Wont be flush on coupe at all. Those are more G35 sedan offsets. Put them on and figure out what size spacers you will need for your taste.
My opinion is to make it look good necessities will be: large spacers, rear fender roll and a significant drop
Any pics of the wheels?

waste of $550. Even huge spacers won't make it flush. Your wheels' widths are small, it'll just look awkward from the back. Your car isn't gonna look so cool

Just get the largest spacers available if you want to make it work. which are 38mms I believe? But they still wouldn't be flush at all. Lol

Get 25mm fronts and 30mm rears. Make sure they are hubcentric and good quality. In my research any spacer over 30mm will be likely to cause excess wear and tear on your wheel bearings. 13+ and 8+ wheel specs wont be flush but they will look a helluva lot better than 38+ all around.
Thanks for all of your opinions guys. I had a feeling I messed up but I'll get the 25mm spacers on the front and 30mm spacers on the back. I'll also make it a staggered setup with 265 or 275. What do you guys think?
Also the rims are boss 339 heres a pic
Some say it may look cheesy but I have a laser red g and I think this will look slick if I can get it on right.
Once again thanks guys!

Single digit offsets will not be enough to sit flush with a 8.5" wheel. Well atleast not for the rears.
It may not be flush, but do you think it'll be good to drive (i.e.: No rubbing and all that nonsense)
This is my first time buying after market wheels and man is it a lot more annoying then I thought it would be lol. Right now the best route would be the spacers. Would I have to get special lug nuts or something?
thanks again!

Would I have to roll my rear fenders or anything if I was to get 38mm spacers in the back? How about wear and tear on the wheel bearing?
Right now I believe aesthetically speaking I would have to go with 30mm in the front and 38mm in the back. Any serious repercussions to these spacer sizes?
