bump, we really need to get this started, I am dieing over here with my stock wheels. Those with wheels please post offsets, wheels sizes, wether or not you car is lowered and what springs. Thx. I'll be more than happy to keep everything updated in an organized manner.

Well what I have figured out is that if you call a company about rims they will make the offsets perfect for your car... now if your trying to buy cheapo rims from ebay then I guess when more people get wheels and post there offsets we can update this with users offsets...

exactly, some of you guys had to have called manufacturers or other places about wheel offsets. If you didn't call but have wheels that fit properly in the fenders, please share what you have learned so other can make wheel decisions! these findings will most likely be different for the cars that have the sport brakes vs standard so please state that.

As stated the recomended tire size for the Volk 20" GT30’s: 245/35 20 front and 275/30 20 rear with S.tech springs. I did some calculations and that size tire has a .22” smaller Outer Diameter (OD) than stock. I looked around and did some more calculating and came up with the option of running 255/35 20 Front and 285/30 20 Rear, the OD is almost identical to stock. The offset is not the same.
Stock:
225/45 19 F Larger than stock rear .26"
225x.45= 101.25mm
101.25x2= 202.5mm
202.5+482.6= 685.1mm 26.97” OD
245/40 19 R
245x.40= 98mm
98x2= 196mm
196+482.6= 678.6mm 26.71” OD
Possable opion:
Front
255/35 20 Larger than rear below .29"
255x.35= 89.25mm
89.25x2= 178.5
178.5+508= 686.5mm 27.02 OD .05
Rear
285/30 20
285x.30= 85.5mm
85.5x2= 171mm
171+508= 679mm 26.73” OD
Stock:
225/45 19 F Larger than stock rear .26"
225x.45= 101.25mm
101.25x2= 202.5mm
202.5+482.6= 685.1mm 26.97” OD
245/40 19 R
245x.40= 98mm
98x2= 196mm
196+482.6= 678.6mm 26.71” OD
Possable opion:
Front
255/35 20 Larger than rear below .29"
255x.35= 89.25mm
89.25x2= 178.5
178.5+508= 686.5mm 27.02 OD .05
Rear
285/30 20
285x.30= 85.5mm
85.5x2= 171mm
171+508= 679mm 26.73” OD

i do not want to make another thread about this question, so i will ask it here. can the g run non-stragged? like 19x8.5 all around? its going to be +50 so, i thinking about getting +25 spacers to make it sit more aggressive.
