Concave wheel Offset? XS dropped on Eibach's

Hey Guys,

I need some help picking the best offsets for my XS Sedan, im dropped on eibach pro kit & have upgraded to akebonos. The design team recommends I run:

Front 20x9 +40
Rear 20x10.5 +45

Those specs dont sound right to me, I dont think they have taken into account my brake upgrade & the drop. I was thinking more along the lines
of.

Front 20x9 +32
Rear 20x10.5 +32

or

Front 20x9 +35
Rear 20x10.5 +37

I want them to sit flush with the fenders not tucked in, im not really into the poke or stretched look.

Forgot to mention tires I will be running: 245/35 & 275/30

Any help would be great.

The guys on the g35driver forum suggested I roll with

20x9 +25,
20x10.5 +32

Will that sit flush with my fenders? I wonder if I can squeeze a 9.5 in the front?

I have a project build that is starting and new wheel sponsor, they will be posting the sponsorship as soon as the specs are worked out.

But the wheels are a true 3pc extreme concave.

And which ones would that be???

I doubt it, they have only made a few sets of these wheels so far and I picked a one off design.

The only pics I could find where from the LA Auto show where is was debuted...

Was supposed to be shipped already but a delay with the lips ended up working out in my favor, once they told me the offsets I told them to hold off until I could get it confirmed.

I need a wheel guru! Better yet can someone w/ a G37S measure their caliper clearance from the mounting pad to outer edge of the caliper (Rront & Rear)
