Wheel setup question...

I am on a stock spring. Going to lower on eibach springs later.
But will these fit my 2008 G37s coupe well or the offset is off for G37?
It's from a G35 coupe...


20" Volk GT-7's
Front - 20x9.5 +22 Offset 245/30/20 Toyo Proxy
Rear - 20x10.5 +24 Offset 275/35/20 Toyo Proxy

Thank you!

It'll be what I consider slightly aggressive. But most of the slammed crowd will tell you it's perfect.

Should look great. What color GT-7? I love those wheels!

I'm not slammed, but I think those offsets are close to perfect. It just may be an ideal set-up for our car.

I am running the same widths and (+22) all around. I have always said that a tiny bit more conservative in the back would have me content.

Front would be perfect. Rear just run a little bit of camber in the back you will be fine. No need to stretch your tires.

Offsets are fine. The rear tire isn't though, a 275/35 is a truck tire!

The toyo's has a stretched sidewall already. I believe he can get away with it.

@doggy, why is a 275-35 a truck tire? Do You even know what a real truck look like?

My G is 4x4 status then...

But, yeah, the OP may need to address the tire sizes.

245/35 front and 275/30 rear would work.

275/35 = rub for sure

Just realized you have 20's, you can go 255/35/20 and 285/30/20


No need to stretch. In the front you shall be perfectly fine. Rear -2.5 camber and trim the bracket and all rubbing problems go away

Thank you!
Maybe its me, but those tire sizes seems backwards! Its usually:

245/35/20 -vs- 245/30/20
275/30/20 -vs- 275/35/20

Double check and make sure.....if its 35 up front and 30 in the rear, your golden

Yeah... cause I rub a little in the rear with a 285.30 Falken on a 20 x 10.5 +32 w/ -1.8 camber...

Let me drive your truck Wei.
