Not sure why a wheel size that Vossen offers won't have the deep concave? The wheel I want comes in 20x9 and they are making them for me, specifically, so they know I'll be putting them on a 2011 G37S.
It's not like I'll be entering the car in shows, or driving it ***** to the wall on the autobahn. I just want it to look better and not go through tires left and right.

So again I went with 20x9 +32 all around and this is what it looks like....

That looks pretty dayum sweet to me... same exact wheels I bought with the same offsets. I think I'll be fine.

ya, thats fine i guess but you arent going to have a deep concave like the 10.5 wheel has. Unless the are making the specially for you, but still im not sure the 9 could have a deep concave not big enough to clear brakes

You will be fine with that but You dont see alot of people running those sizes. Make sure they clear your brakes if you have th sport brakes. Also with your eibach drop, it doesnt lower the car that much so your wheels dont camber a lot like they would with s techs or H&R's, or pretty low coils. So therefore they just stick out a litttle too much in my opinion with the offssets of 20 25 which I have seen in person.

Thanks Lizard, I'm most likely going to go with those sizes. I see some people run a 35 series tire in the front? Any reason for this? I know my oem tires are mismatched when it comes to how tall they are but why not keep them the same?
Spartan, what size tires are you running on your setup?

I cannot say for sure becuz I have never seen that set up you have in person. Sparteng37 do you have any pics of your car? especially pics that can view how flush the wheel is with the fender?? I have seen 2 guys here with the eibach and vosssen with the 20-25 set up, someone was running 235/30 and 255/30 too much wheel gap no need for strecthed tires on eibach drop. he changed to coils and slammed his car. another guy had it and he was running 245/35 and 285/30 on eibach, that looks better but still a bit of a wheel gap and the poke out a touch. you really need to see the difference in perosn to understand it.

to get the perfect set up you probably need spacers at least for the rears, +30 or +32 would be perfect for the rear offset and 20 is good up front, you could run 275/30 and 245/30 and it would be perfect. but you have the hassle of spacers

LOL^ no way, I am saying to get a perfect set up on our cars. what I am saying iz you buy the higher offsets and then buy spacers so you can set the offset to your liking. so if you buy a +45 offset for the rear, you can the buy a 10 or 15 mm spacer to make it 30, which in my opinon is perfect because you are able to run normal tires. I have seen it a bunch of times, but its the fact u gots to go through spacer troubles
