Hello Nicoclub

I am getting a set of wheels for my 2006 M35 sports model.I got a connection so I can get Five Axis S5:F wheels for good price.

I found this picture and this guy is running 20x9.5 front and 20x10.5 rear.

Please help me choose a right offset... I am not planning on any additional camber or fender modification. just want the fluch looking with no rubbing on Eibach pro springs..

20x9.5, I can get either +45 or +2520x10.5, I can get either +33 or +22 offset

The only wheel size and offset that will work is the 20 X 9.5 +45mm offset. Just go that route all the way around(4 corners). Very nice looking wheel by the way.

The closest thing will be the front spokes to the calipers. Hopefully that clears. Test fit without the tire mounted so you can get your money back in case the spokes bump into the front calipers.

I would go tire wise 255/35/20 allthe way around or 245/35's in the front and 275/30's in the rears if you want a staggered look.

I concur with 07sportm35

The 10.5" wheel would need an offset close to 47 to 50 to get where you want to be.

actually I made a mistake. I can only get +25 for the 9.5.... so just get 9.5 all around with 25 offset?

I really want to get 10.5 in the rear because of the face design...

The 9.5" +25mm will stick out 13mm...a little over 1/2 a inch

Let me also say that factory offset is +50mm. So, +45mm is ideal with a wider wheel such as 9.5 inches that will actually fit in both the front and rear without rubbing.

That keeps you close to the so called "scrub radius", and your car will handle a little better...less stress on tie-rods and such, as well as a more better behaved M.

So, +25mm is a huge nono. Only VIP types go this route. (Very Ill Performance)
