Exclamation FINALLY! ORDERED MY WHEELS! Pic Inside!!

First off - thanks to everyone for all the info and all my threads being answered..

I ended up getting these 20" STATUS - KNIGHT Wheels - BLACK LIP - Staggered for my Ivory Pearl G37S
  • Tires: 245/35/20 & 285/30/20
  • Offset: +25 front / +45 Rear
QUESTION: Will the +25 offset clear the front BIG BRAKES - as i was told it would -mathematically they said. Also another member here has them - waiting to hear from them on their offset - i just wanted to avoid using spacers ( G37s)

Do I understand you ordered the wheels not knowing if they will clear the BBK?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the Rims are going to look stupid. I origionally got those same offsets and my front wheels stuck out way more than the rear and looked awful.

Yes, your front will stick out a lot more than the rear. The rear is going to look very tucked with +45. The front is going to look almost flush with +25.

Might need some spacers in the rear.
