I have saved up extra cash to buy aftermarket wheels. I am going to go with XXR 521's in black finish

20x8.5 front
20x10.5 rear

I am on tein H-tech springs. What offset would you guys recommend getting and what size tires? I would also point out that I do not want to do any custom fender or suspension work.

thanks in advance,
jeff

I'm no expert in this, but I'll say from jump ALL 10.5 I've seen on this car stick out.

^ the et measurement "offset" is key.

You can run a 10.5" with a ~ +39 et and 275 30 20's no problem, that is more or less what I am running with the modified OEM GT-R (R35) wheels.

not sure about the 10.5 for the rears, but I think 40 and under would work...are the wheels you plan on getting with or without a lip?? or are they the concave style??

you can try this site for wheel choices and compare....they also provide the option of offsets that will fit as well as tires to match...

Flush as in not sticking out, I would do front around 27 and for the rear around 48

Pending on tire size

If you have bad roads most go with front 245/35/20 and rear 285/30/20

Those that go the vip way use front 235/35/20 and rear 245/35/20
