Greenhorn when it comes to Fitment. I do NOT understand the offset calculator. I am sorry. I want 20” Vossen HF4-T’s. CARID says guaranteed fit on 2009 g37 vert coupe. I don’t trust CARID. Will these even fit and or be within factory spec?! Will i need lowering or camber kits? Here are my specs options. Does anyone have these specs? Opinions and Pics provided? Please let me know guys and gals thank you very much.
FRONT: 20X9+32 or 20X9+35 5X114.3 BOLT PATTERN 73.1MM HUB
REAR: 20X9+32 OR 20X9 +38 OR 20X10.5 +45
Front tires would be
245/35/20
Rear Tires 245/30/20 unless i get 10.5 +45 then they would be 285.
I don’t want an aggressive stance. I want it to be clean and flush. Am I looking at the wrong rims for this?

20x9 +32 and 20x10.5 +45 is what I'm running with my Vossen VFS1's. Those specs I got straight from the source, Diego @ Vossen. Tires are 245/35/20 & 285/30/20. I'm lowered on Tein Street Basis now with many other suspension modes. Before I was on stock suspension and they fit the car just fine, no rubbing. Ride height was too high for my taste so I lowered it (mainly the front). I've got more pictures on my Instagram; jpowers36.
These pics are when I just got them; stock suspension.
Current stance:
Another suggestion; before you mount the wheels, get them ceramic coated inside and out. It will help protect them slightly but will make cleaning them easier. I have it on mine (and entire car) and really like it.

My pleasure, appreciate the compliments. Good luck on the purchase, cant wait to see how they look.
Hey, my man. Thanks a lot for all your help so far. The tire&rim package is in. I also ordered used big brakes from eBay that you have... the Infiniti G37 Akebono’s. I am ordering the Tein Street Basis coil overs you have as well. My question to you is what other suspension mods do you have done? Will I need camber or castor plates or anything at all you can think of? I am 5 grand into the build so far and am about to spend another grand on the suspension. I just want everything to be clean, flush, happy, and in spec!!
Here is my suspension setup:
-SPL Front Upper Control Arms
-SPL Titanium Rear Camber Links
-SPC Rear Toe Bolts
-Tein Street Basis Z Coilovers
-Eibach Swaybars
-SPL Swaybar End Links Front
-SPL Swaybar End Links Rear
-Cusco FSTB
-Z1 Subframe Bushing Collars
The SPL parts give me more camber adjustment and the SPC allows for more toe adjustment. This all helps get the car more closely aligned to factory spec to reduce uneven/excessive tire wear.
Man let me tell you how I can’t appreciate your prompt responses enough. Thank you for providing this valuable information to me so quickly and politely. I am going to hold off on lowering until i see how she sits. Looking at your factory ride height i can agree with being lowered though and may actually use your EXACT set up in the near future for lowering as long as my mechanic and the alignment shop agrees with it. I myself know the bare minimum hence why i am asking for so much advice. I will have pictures taken soon. Also... I see you don’t have slotted and drilled rotors. They seem to be big and the car scene but come with a lot of cons. Would you recommend slotted and drilled or factory? Really I just prefer the look of the slotted and drilled idc about the performance aspect i heard they warp and wear quicker.
No problem at all. A lot of valuable info on here available through the search function as well. This forum and trial/error is how I learned, 7 years and counting with the G now. The stance I had before lowering was tolerable, ride height and wheel gap was not crazy. I didn't rub with my exhaust however but now I do on big dips. Motordyne curse lol.
Powder coated calipers (new seals, cerakote bolts) are coming at the end of the summer. Along with SS lines, new pads, and new rotors (if needed, maybe have them turned). As far as rotors....it's my daily and I'm more concerned with longevity than looks. I have right at about 30k miles on these Akebono pads and Centric rotors; which cost me under $500 to do myself. They have performed well. No issues with them or noises yet but I am starting to notice that braking requires a bit more pedal effort, so the pads are getting low. Ideally, Z1's 2 piece rotor setup is what I'd like but I can't justify the cost; one day. And you're correct, from what I've read I don't believe you can turn drilled/slotted rotors and they don't last as long. Again, I can't speak from experience just what I've seen/read.
