Looking at a set of wheels, they are 5x112 for I have 25mm 5x112 to 5x114.3 converters.
The wheels are
20x8.5 +35
20x10 +38

so AFTER adding the converter, wheels would be
20x8.5 +10
20x10 +13


I have a Y51 AWD, planning on getting coilovers as well. Would these wheels along with the converter fit? I know offset is low but well, the Y51's chassis is kinda wide anyways

Just to give you some comparison +25 is flush for these car. I mean like to the edge of the fender with no inset. You're gonna have some super poke. As far as fitting, yea they'll fit as long as they are 5x114. Hope this helps.

+25 is flush on what width? 10in? 11in?

I'm at 20x10.5 +25 offset on a 265/35 tire and had to dial in camber to make it fit..your specs won't work without fender work...

I know someone with 20x10.5 +15 but runs 245 35 20 tire.and it fits no fender work. Hes on coils and really low..so they will fit.but your awd so you need f&b wheel diameter to be exactly the same.and that will be kinda hard matching tire sizes to get that diameter the same, since your rear is 20x10 and front is 20x8.5..id pass on them.forget the headaches.buy real rims not off the shelf 1 pc rims ether.

Weird how Don_Blaze34 is +25 and had to camber in but your friend is +15 and it fits lol. Is it really cambered?

BTW I didn't know for AWD's front and rear's diameter need to be exactly the same. From what I've read a lot of people run staggered setups with slightly different total diameters

The 10.5 +15 is fitting because of the stretched tire and being slammed

I'm awd and run 235/40 front and 265/35 rear with no issues, u could do the same. Or run 245/40 and 275/35.

BTW I'm on coils as well but not slammed.

lol. It's really hard to take this seriously when you say "buy real rims not off the shelf 1 pc rims ether"
So a 1 piece forged wheel is inferior to a 3 piece "cuztum" wheel? :lolling:

OP, your offsets are very aggressive and would probably need fender work or negative camber to get it to work. You have the spacer/converter thing...I would keep it simple and look for wheels with the correct fitment. Front and back diameter need to be within 1% of each other if you want to run staggered on AWD. It's not impossible and people do it all the time.

The wheels in the first post will definitely fit, I would use a 20mm adapter in the rear instead of 25 mm and 275/35 rear tires. 245/40 on the front with the 25 mm adapter will work too. This will allow closer to OEM camber settings unless you prefer more aggressive camber.
