I need help with rims

I recently picked up a red coupe. I believe I found the rims I want. I need help with sizing to order them.


I am wanting to do 19x9 front and 20x11 or 11.5 if possible. I want to know what offest I would need to clear sport brakes and not stick out too bad.

Also I will roll fenders but have no intentions of lowering it.

Why 20x11 or 11.5? What size tire do you think you are going to fit on those?

I will stretch a tire. I want to fit the widest rim I can without sticking out and still clearing brakes. It is why I am asking what can I fit.

Ideally I would love to do:
19x9.5 front with a 255/30
20x11.5 rear with 285/30

No way in hell are you going to get a 11.5" wheel on there unless you are ok with it sticking out allot. You may be able to pull 11" with real conservative offset but otherwise 10.5" around +30-34 is the max without all kinds of rubbing issues too.

Thank you. I really dont know if the G37 has more or less room than the G35. I use to have Asantis on my G35 with 9.5 front and 11 rear. They fit fine.

If I do an 11 on the G37, what offset would I need so it doesnt stick out?
What is a good offset for a 9.5 front?

Honestly I would not even attempt the 11's at all. The G37 requires more conservative wheel set up than the G35 did. I would go 9 or 9.5 front with 10.5 rear and dont go lower than +30 on the offset.

Those wheels are pretty sick though, how much are they?

The 360 forged wheel looks a lot better than the first one you posted up. I don't think id do 11's in the rear either, 10.5 with 275/30/20 already rubs against the rear strut a little.

i still like the first ones, just make sure you do the inner barrel black or it will stick out like a sore thumb. do 20s front and rear. i say try and fit an 11 on the rear but you will need to do some offset research.

that also deals with the offset of the wheel so it depends.

someone really needs to start pushing aggressive wheel fitment on our cars. i dont have plans for new wheels soon but i might have to if no one does it.

I dont really trust wheel distrubitors, most dont know much about the G37. It is why I came here to ask.
With 360 forged, they build them specifally. So I need to tell them the exact offset I want.
I still need to clear the S brakes too. I really like the 19/20 set up, looks agressive. Plus the G37 front is 1 inch higher anyways.

So I am thinking (think it will fit with a roll?)
19x9 front with a +20
20x11 rear with +15

I don't think I'd go any wider than 10.5 rears. Anything wider looks like an ugly mexican lowrider car with super wide gold rims.

I don't think +20 and +15's gonna clear the brakes, and they are going to stick out and rub. I think the most aggressive offset you can have it prob + high 20s in the front with 9'' width and low 30s in the rear w/ 10.5'' width. Someone else needs to chime in about w/ a fender roll. However, +20 and +15 r not going to clear the brakes w/o spacers.

WTF? Why's it gotta be an ugly "mexican" lowrider car? Lol.

Racist.

20x11 + 15 will rub like crazy..I ran a 20x10 +20 and it rubbed so bad I took them of after 15 minutes of driving...and my car wasn't even lowered...DONT EVEN TRY IT!!!

20x9 + 20 should be alright..I ran a 20x8.5 +20 in the front with no problems....
