For the offset experts

Hi everyone

This is my 1st post in the forum. Proud owner for 2 months of a 08 VR G37S, 6spd.
Already installed HKS exhaust, Injen intake and Tein S Techs. Now is time for wheels. Been looking around for a few weeks and found a set I like but will like the opinion of some with experience on offsets with these cars.

This is what I want

Staggered Set -
(2) 20x9 Vertini Drift Gloss Black w/ Chrome Stainless Steel Lip
(2) 20x10.5 Vertini Drift Gloss Black w/ Chrome Stainless Steel Lip

Front Wheels 5x4.5/114.3 - Offset: 20 mm
Rear Wheels 5x4.5/114.3 Offset: 30 mm

245/35/20 Falken FK 452 Front
275/30/20 Falken FK 452 Rear

I'm almost certain that I'll be perfectly fine with the rears, my biggest concern is the +20 in the fronts. Want to be sure I'll have no issues. I don't want the helaflush with stretched tire look but don't want to be tucked in either on the back. Been searching the forum for a few days but did not find anyone with this same exact setup. If anyone can share some insides I'll greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
Mike

Yep you should be fine. Just like Weiboy said you'll most likely have to trim your fender liner and maybe shave off a little bit of your rear bumper bracket.

Thank you Wieboi718 & emyrl for the respond. I'm fine doing some triming on the back and looks like the +30 is what most people here like and use. My concern is the +20 in the front. I don't want the front tires sticking further out than the rears. Most of the threads I read, people are using +25. Just want to make sure that the offset tire combination will be ok in the front. Thanks

I see your +23 and raise you a 20/9 +22 with no problems at all.

OP, those offsets are great. Im currently on S-techs and my offsets are 9+26 and 10.5+36 and have always thought they could use just a tad bit more. Use those offsets! And youll have to trim ur bumper bracket a little in the rear

For those who helped and anyone who wants to contribute, this is what I'll be getting in a few days...

http://www.vertiniwheels.com/images/...rift-3-big.jpg

(2) 20x9 Vertini Drift Gloss Black w/ Chrome Stainless Steel Lip
(2) 20x10.5 Vertini Drift Gloss Black w/ Chrome Stainless Steel Lip

Front Wheels 5x4.5/114.3 - Offset: 23 mm
Rear Wheels 5x4.5/114.3 Offset: 33 mm

245/35/20 Falken FK 452 Front
275/30/20 Falken FK 452 Rear

The place I'm getting the wheels from offered to shave 3mm off the back spacing of the wheel at no extra charge which I think will be perfect for the look I'm looking for. But I'm still a little concern with my tire option on the front.

nice, you might need to cut ur liner as well in the rear, not sure though. 245/30 in front if the 35 series dont work out

You should fit perfectly with no rubbing. I am pretty low on my coilovers and no rubbing with same specs except +20 front and +30 rear.
