Hello all new member here... Switching over from the lexus side lol acid lexus enthusiast owned a lot and also owned an m45 couple years ago but sold it after couple weeks someone made me a great offer. Anyway, recently picked up an 06m35 sport and have an offset/rim tire question. Found a great deal on a staggered set of 20s 20x8.5 front et40 and 20x10 rear et42. Question is will the rims fit on front as I heard the sport editions have a big brake kit and I will need at least a 30 offset for the fronts is this true? Yes I've searched but haven't really found the answer I'm looking for. Usually I would just look for another set of rims but these rims are seriously one of the sexiest set of rims I've seen and someone has them at a great price like new w tires. Any info/help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

all M's from 2006-2010 do not have bigger brakes in the sport edition. Only the M37/56 have that option. As for your wheels question, idk where you searched but there are tons of threads with offsets and wheel sizes. Quick answer, yes they will fit, both ones mentioned.

I searched the m35/45 forum and there may be a ton of wheel threads but I ddidn't find any w my first specific size of 20x8.5 et40 especially with a deep concave. Most had 30 35 and lower or were a 20x9 with a 35 or higher offset. Again, the wheel I'm looking at is a 20x8.5 and the deep concave is what worried me being that the customer service guy told me the sport editions have bigger brakes. These are the wheels in question lol.

listed in the link is 38 up to 42.. rims in question are actually an et40. So I'm guessing if the 38 will work then the 40 will also? Thanks 06 m4.5. Also any opinions between these and the concept one can in brushed/gunmetal finish. My mom is black and kinda thought the Axe wheels would flow and blend better where as the concept one is a weird finish and with the 2 tone color on the spokes makes them look smaller plus the lip takes away from the size also making it look smaller. Any opinions. Thanks for the help guys. Much appreciated

Concept ones
