wheel size and spacer question... NEED HELP
 
i have a 2009 base 370z and just bought the following size wheels... will these look funny on the car or similar stance as the factory 18s???

front: 20 x 8.5 with a 32 offset
rear: 20 x 9.5 with a 35 offset.

Please advise what size spacers I need to get to make them a little bit more flush (NOT STICKING OUT THOUGH!)

thank you!!!

Take the offset that you have on you wheels now, subtract that number by the thickness of the spacer that you want to use.

20x8.5 + 32 (add 20mm spacer) and it changes it to a +12 offset. I think you need at LEAST a 20mm and 25mm I don't think even then you are going to be flush.

OEM rear Rays sport wheel is 19x10 +30, so your 20x9.5 +35 is going to need a negative offset in order to be flush.

Just as a reference for you, my wheels are 19x10.5 +0 and you can see it sits flush.

tahnk you so much! do you think the wheels as they are will look strange? would you recommend spacers? and will the spacers effect the way the car drives?

Try your front as is if stock height. Rear can use 20mm spacers.
