I asked about 20's on a g35 a few weeks ago but heres a follow up question...... offset... im lookin at TSW 10 inc wide rim, but i am clueless about offset, TSW offers +20 to 42mm offset on the rims I want. What size offest should i look for to keep them as close to center as possible, not to far in not to far out, just even.

3rd question on nico, thanx for all the anwsers you guys have provided!

Those are your tires' section widths, not offsets. Offsets refer to the backspacing of the wheel.

Of those choices, I'd go with the 20mm. However, I wouldn't recommend either. According to the offset calculator ( http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp ), with the 20mm offset, you are going to lose 15mm of inner clearance and it will extend 35mm more towards the outside. With the 42mm offset, you're going to lose 37mm inner clearance and extend 13mm.

I'd recommned a staggered setup, with someone around a 9" wide up front. Then, you'd need to look for offsets in the mid 20's.

What kind of rims are those dbaq? Also yzar try and find your offset if you can,if you have the boxes still for them or not,or if someone can give an offset for 19in staggered rims for a coupe that would work well.

How is the noise on these tires compared to the stock tires? I just picked up my 07 G35 Sedan AWD that had 17s. It was very quite. I replaced them with 20s today and can tell quite a bit of noise difference - running Pirelli PZero Nero M&S 245/35/20 tires.

damn, that looks nice! Your 20"s look really good.

I'm running 19"s (8.5 34mm & 9.5 40mm) lowered on H&R springs.
