Work wheels fitment advice

Guys,

Need your advise on fitment! I've narrowed it down to these Work Wheels Gnosis HS202 Step Lip, in matte silver, for my '12 xS OB sedan, lowered on D2 coilovers. I wanted a semi conservative fit, for daily driving. I didn't want to go staggered, but with AWD, selected the below disk to get that look. I know AWD can go staggered with the correct tire fitment, but prefer not to risk it.

Work Wheel Gnosis HS202 Step Lip
20x9.5 +25 all 4 corners
2.6" lip, R-disk up front (BBK friendly for future mods)
3.5" lip, O-disk in the rear
245/35/20 for tires

How do you think these will look? Would I require any fender work? I'm leaning towards mesh wheels with a step lip, any others I should consider? I've considered SSR MS1 (too expensive), BBS LM (too expensive), Work Brombacher (require spacers for BBK). I ruled out replicas (for now).

Thanks in advance for your input!

I think you should be fine in terms of rubbing on all four corners depending how low you go. I have a 2010 X sedan on D2 coilovers also. I have 19x9.5 wheels on all four corners with a finger gap and I do not rub at all. I do have 40 profile size tires and they stick out a tiny bit in the rears but no rubbing at all. Its an agressive look but I like it.

Thanks for the input! What are your offsets? Also for clarity, no rub even with adult backseat passengers?

Those wheels look good. I had the VSXX on my old g35 coupe and now have the GS2 on my new g37 coupe. You should be ok with the fenders. At most you will prob have to trim the rear wheel liner which is easy and maybe the rear bumper bracket but thats it. I say get them, you can't go wrong with Works

^^ the tires you are running are too big for those offsets. As for the OP the 9.5 +25 will work fine and if you do have rubbing it might be the fender bracket

What do you guys think of the different disk type to get the bigger lip in the rear, but maintain square fitment for awd? Do you think it's pointless and i should just go staggered and get more lip back there?

i think the staggered offset is great..... gives you an agressive look with functionality.....remember whatever you use must function like oem

Just pulled the trigger! Now the wait begins...

What do you guys think of 245/35/20 for tires? Should I try to get more rubber?

They'll be stretched a bit but should work fine. You might want to go wider in the rear like 265-275, those rims are begging for wider tires back there IMO.

Christmas came a little early this year!

Wheels came in much earlier than expected, tracking said next Tuesday. Can't wait to install them in the Spring! Tires are Hankooks Ventus V12 evo K110.





R disk


O disk


R disk vs O disk (square fitment)

It's always so exciting to get new toys. Looks good. Did you consider works vs-xx?
