Niche Lucerne

Getting ready to pull the trigger on a set of these...

1) can't decide what color... i have a k51 grey metallic car

2) how much are these going to poke at 20x9et35 on stock suspension and eventually lowered on h-techs?



Anthracite


Black Chrome (extra $$$)


Silver/Machined combo

Anthracite.

Normally I like black chrome, but I dont think it would look the best with your car's color. My vote is for Anthracite too.

[bicsintegra]

Anthracite, yes indeed!

No comments on the width and offset?

[TDot]

Anthracite. The wheels are just about the size of my vossens and I just dropped it on htech, u should b good.

[The Bodyguard]

Offset would be a perfect fit!! No doubt!! Also, I would prefer the machine/silver

I'm gonna see if I can find a local Niche dealer with some wheels in stock just so I can see the colors in person. It's so hard to tell on the computer screen.

Tdot can you post your wheel specs and some pics?

[TDot]

I can't really give you any current pics that will help you, but I have some previous pics that can give you an idea.
The first are my old set 19x8.5. The offset on them equal my new 20x9. I'm showing you this because it's the only shot I have with my wheels straight on stock suspension. Front and back flush, this is exactly how my 20s sat when first put on.

Unfortunately I can't give you a shot of the current 20s front on stock, but I can give you a shot of the rear if the following isn't good enough.

I don't remember exactly what the offset is, but if you call vossen and tell them none concave they'll tell you. Everything sits perfectly flush...maybe 1mm beyond the lip.

Well I ordered one to test fit... 20x9 +35. I'm digging the style and the color of the wheel but the fitment, not so much. Looks just about perfect on the front... but the back I'm not sure I'm feeling it. What I don't get is it's a square setup. Why does it fit okay in the front and not the rear? Anyway, I mounted a tire on the wheel so I can't really return it. I'll either have to learn to love it, or eat the $250 and find another set of wheels that will fit the 255/35/20 tires I bought.

Thoughts?

rear:

You must have the +38... the other option is +32 and that would be sticking out even further than the +35's I got are.

Here is a better shot of the rear, perfectly flush. I didn't snap the front because it isn't stock or set right now. On mine the front, when originally put on, sat exactly like the rear, so I don't understand why your rear is sticking out. Poking out like that would bother me too.

well i put the wheel back on and checked it with a level... turns out there is some positive camber when i lower the car back down off the jack. probably because i don't have the hub rings and tuner lugs and can't tighten the regular lugs down with my fingers enough. it should come in about 1/4 inch at the top once they are bolted up tight. i ordered the other three wheels.

A drop and less camber will help

[seldomseen]

What is the factory spec on your OEM wheels? If you really like the wheels the easiest solution is to order two sets of wheels with a +38 or +40 offset for the rears to make the rear wheels sit flush and/or slightly behind the fender. If you want to keep the offset the same, you can reorder the wheels with a .5" - 1" smaller width using the same +35 offset. This would eliminate your rear wheel poke.

they come in 20x9 or 20x10 +35 only. also i don't want a staggered setup. i like being able to rotate my tires.
