I want 20s

[paniaguachris]

im currently looking for rims and I want to know what kind of offset I should go with. I want my fenders to be flush with my tires.. and if i get a drop what kind of suspension should i go with to keep the same softness.

[DRIPS]

I think the offset you want is 35 mm or 40 mm. I am also looking for 20s right now, but am NOT changing my suspension setup away from the comfortable stock.

What kind of rims do you like? I am looking for a nice full face 20 and want the rear to be at least 10 inches wide...so a staggered setup.

[paniaguachris]

the only reason why i wanted to change the suspension setup is so theres no huge gap between my tire and fender. im not really sure yet im still looking but i did find a set of silver and chrome staggered Sevas S22 rims. but i my rides black and i dont know how it will look.

To have them sit flush with the fenders I would look for an offset around 20-30mm.

Your title says, “I want 20’s”, but later you said “22inch Sevas.” Which one? Keep in mind that you will be limited with 22’s, especially if you’d like to lower the car and stagger the rims/wheels. The majority of the member here will suggest 20’s. In my opinion 22’s are too large for. I recommend you go and shop the rims and make a choice on the size and width. To start giving you offsets without you having any idea on what you really want is a waste. I totally agree with you on the wheel gap! If you’d like my suggestion for width/offset/stagger with 20’s… take a look at my sig. Mine sits nice and flush, plus lowered. Good luck and keep us posted.

Congrats on the black M and welcome to the club.

He actually stated "Sevas S22 rims". Im guessing that is the model not the size...

Sorry Chris

YA THAT WAS THE MODEL . MAN UR CAR LOOKS SICK!! A LOCAL GUY IS SELLING THE RIMS WITH THE Front 20x8.5 / 20x10 rear .. DO U THINK IT WILL FIT OR WILL IT LOOK TACK? AND HOW MUCH DID U PAY FOR UR SUSPENSION?OH AND DOES IT FEEL SMOOTH OR STIFF?

First, do not buy Sevas wheels until they get their act together. There are a whole bunch of owners who have had many, and I mean many failures with Sevas. I'm not sure if they fixed the issues with the castings, but I've read some horror stories.

I have a setup that is very close to being flush. It's actually a G35 coupe fitment which are 20x9 +22 and 20x10 +22. I think I could have gone down to a +20 offset, but it's trial and error. In order to pull this off, you'll have to roll the front and rear fenders, and run a mild stretch on your tires. I'm running 245-35-20 all the way around.....yes, 245 on a 10" rim.

20x10 rear! It is possible, but keep offset in mind. My car feels the same as stock and just a s smooth, but those springs were installed shortly after I got the car, so not alot of time spent on oem springs.
