Im looking to buy these wheels. 20x9 Verde V39 Parallax Matte Silver w/ Machined Face Wheels

Currently lowered on Tein S Techs on front and Eibach Pro on rear. What offset would make it flush 32mm or 38mm. Im looking to go square setup 245 35 20" tires.

I'd go w/ the coilovers too.
Thanks for the quick feedback blnewt

to get a little more tire I'm assuming based on Lt8CHe's x coupe i could get a 265/40 in there to fill out the wheel well a bit more and still go with the eibach sport springs? That pushing my luck?

Also, any thoughts/comments on Ambit Wheels out of SoCal? Pretty popular in the m3 forums. These wheels are on super sale right now

Thanks

+32 will give you a pretty flush fit, especially in front. The front fender isn't flat rolled like the rear so you may have some rubbing in front dropped low on S Techs. A +38 will be a safer way to go, but may not get you the flush-ness that you're after.

Lt8che was running 9.5+30 on 265s, your +15 will be 15mm further out so you'd have some issues w/ that much tire IMO.

Those Ambit wheels look like they're dealing in knockoff designs, that's your call there

I would go with a plus 32. This is a 19x10 +40 rear and 19x10 +45 front. I need to get some spacers for the front. I'm on eibachs all around 255/35 and j don't have any issues. I know you're going for 20s but still a good reference for the offset and width.

Yeah the front sits low on the S Techs and i don't want to go to crazy and possibly cause rub issues. I do have camber kits all around so im good in that area and i have shave the rear bumper bolts down to tuck in if need be lol. I have 20mm spacers out back on the stock 19's and love how it looks...not sure what the stock wheel offset is and with the 20mm spacer addons but would +38mm be close to what i have now? I prob will go with the +38 to be safe. I really love the look of +25mm squared but do not want negative camber again (reason i took off the rear S Techs for the Eibachs).

Thanks for the pics. My 20's will be only 9" wide, do you think I might just be able to fit +32 in the front without rub issues? I want a deep concave but only to a certain limit.

A 9" +32 will be right at the fender as far as looking straight down to the wheel edge but running a 245 width tire they'll tuck inside, might get a slight rub under hard compression but should be OK otherwise.

hey guys,
So winter is coming up and I need a new set of tires. I have a 09 g37x sedan awd. I am currently on all seasons michelin pilot sport a/s. 225/55/r17. I was wondering if anyone could help me find a set of maybe wider/bigger tires that would fit without me having to make any adjustments.

All in all, Im looking for help on wether to get winters or all seasons. I plan on getting rims after winter is done, so a nice size would look good. Also could someone list all the sizes of tires that would fit my car that would look wider and more flush.
Thanks a lot. Happy thanksgiving.

Hey there sir. Are you looking to go wider for winter safety or looks. I'm a little confused here. If you're wanting to get a tire that's better for snow then you do NOT want to go wider you want to stay skinny and get something with some bite. I had a really really good experience with the continental des extreme contact. Really Good tire for the price imo. It was a 225/45/17 i believe.

Clear BBK

Will OEM 370Z Sport Rays 19s (non Nismo) clear Akebonos on a G37 Sedan without needing spacers?

I assume the the rears will clear fine but the front I am unsure about. I can't use the template due to the wheels needing to be shipped but I need to know before purchasing at the budget price.

Fronts 19x9 +47
Rears 19x10 +30

Thanks

Yes, you're good there, although to get the proper fit in back don't go too wide w/ the tire or you'll have to compensate w/ heavy camber. Most guys that run the Z wheels end up getting front spacers so you can match the flush fit in back.

Anyone tried running the 370z Nismo wheels? I believe they were 19x9.5 +40 and 19x10.5 +23. Would like to run 255/40/19 and 285/35/19 for keeping the speedo correct. Will not run negative camber even if it kills me.
