Ok, i've made my decision. I'm going with Stance ST-1. They only come in one size for our 5x114 bolt pattern.

20 x 8.5; +35
20 x 10; +38

What size tires do you guys recommend so I don't rub? I'm currently lowered on Eibach springs but will be buying either Tanabe or BC Coilovers to lower the car more. I plan on lowering the car just enough to tuck both the front and rear tires about 1/4"-1/2".

The fronts would tuck in a little, the rears seem fine.

Thanks!

I suppose then the front wheel wouldn't tuck in as much as the stock front wheel. A spacer could always be added if I wanted it more flush.

Now, I have no idea what size tires I need. I'm thinking of going with Hankook Ventus V12 tires.

I'm thinking 225/35/20 for the Front and 245/35/20 for the Rear. However, according to their size chart, I should be using a 275 for the Rear to accommodate the 10" wide wheels. Any opinions?

Fronts are okay. I'd recommend a 275/30 in the rear.

That's what I figured since the rear wheel specs aren't very aggressive. So this what i'm looking at:

G37 Coupe lowered on Eibach springs.
20 x 8.5 +35; 225/35/20
20 x 10 +38; 275/30/20

I'm just trying to get this right the first time to avoid delays and returns/restocking fees.

Anyone? I'm ordering the wheels today and need to order the correct tire sizes asap. As mentioned in the OP, I'm currently lowered on Eibach springs but will be buying either Tanabe or BC Coilovers to lower the car more. I plan on lowering the car just enough to tuck both the front and rear tires about 1/4"-1/2".

I have Giovanna Mecca wheels on mine and im dropped on H&R springs...
My specs are:
20x8.5 +35 - 245/35 r20
20x10 +40 - 285/30 r20

Thanks. But this doesn't really help me. I'm on Eibach springs now but will be purchasing coilovers to lower the car enough to tuck the wheels. Since the offset of the new wheels aren't aggressive, i'm thinking a 245/35 for the front and 275/30 for the rear will be ok and not rub. Maybe even a 255/35 for the rear.

it was just for comparison. The H&R springs are a lot lower than the eibach and tuck the wheels nicely. I cant put a spacer on because i rub too much. heres a picture just to see:

Your car looks great! Compared to the Eibachs, the H&R only drops the front .3" more but .6" in the rear. Do you have a side profile shot of your car? I'd like to get a better look of your ride height to help me decide if I still need coilovers to go a smidge lower or get H&Rs to save money instead.

Do you rub on all four tires?

mdaaboul313

this picture is on different rims with the same exact specs about a year ago, but no i dont rub at all

gtslo88

Did you recently get these wheels? seen your ride at the smoothie factory meet one night. Car looks great.

mdaaboul313

thanks! Ive had them for about 6 months, I hated the ones with the stainless steel lip, I was just waiting for these to come in

Brainchild

Hmm...I might just go with H&R springs instead of coils to save some $. It looks plenty low for me. Did you have to shave your rear bumper bracket any?

mdaaboul313

No not at all
