Okay folks. It’s almost spring time and I’m starting to give this wheel business some real thought. I came across this thread and learned a LOT about what my car can handle specs wise, etc. **Here is my plan:** **Suspension:** Car will be lowered in a month or so about 2" after settling (manufacturer says it’s 1.2" but guys are saying it’s closer to 2") **Wheels:** MRR GT-1 from [ElementWheels.com](http://ElementWheels.com) **Wheel Size:** 20x10 +43 all around **Tires:** Continental ExtremeContact DW **Tire Size:** 255/35/20 all around Here are the wheels I’m planning on getting: The reason why I am not going with the 19" OEM Sports is because they are +50 offset which is even more sunken in than my 18" OEM’s. I’d need spacers and I do NOT want spacers. My 18’s are +47. If I got the 19’s…once I lower, it will look like this: ![http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/jj363/advancespeed/M35%20on%20Eibachs/09-23-10007.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/6/b/6b7195017a4c3a876367bed7dc5a6891eb26cac2.jpeg) ![http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/jj363/advancespeed/M35%20on%20Eibachs/09-23-10001.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/1/816732dff3d7f3b21ebe9d0c0da699f39fdb258a.jpeg) So obviously, that looks like crap. Now, the reason why I am going +43 offset on the MRR’s (instead of the +25 mentioned on page 8) is because of these examples: > JIC coilovers at around a 1.5 drop in front and 1.25 rear > > Work Varianza T1s wheels diamond cut > fronts 20x8.5 high disc (for BBK clearance) +40 offset > rears 20x10 low disc +45 offset > Front tires 245/35/20 > rears 275/30/20 > > ![http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k296/lawman12/varianza035.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/e/6/e647fc64db4ca83212bd579b80df8176d1a3312d.jpeg) > > ![http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k296/lawman12/beach011.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/9/a/9aabdc768dc8b369a88d77669b53edb457c44ce2.jpeg) > Modular Society District > 20x8.5 38MM > 20x10 41MM > Eibach Springs **This, all in all, will cost me:** **Tires** - $900 **Wheels** - $1,196 **Other** - ~$50 for mounting and balancing Fits my budget perfectly. Solid plan? Looks good? Let me know your final thoughts. ---

Not a fan of the first set but second is pretty decent. Downside to a monoblock rim is that they are not that strong. If you hit a decent pothole say hello to bent rim. I would honestly try to find a decent 3 piece set that is used if i was you. Bnz is right you have to keep the tires same size with an awd car but can be a staggerred offset front and back. ---

I actually don’t mind the first set, and with that said, I don’t even like mesh style wheels. ---

It’s the same rim guys. Just different cars. I had a ‘monoblock’ set on my Maxima (5Zigen FN01R-C) for a good 1.5years and went all over the east coast (including NYC and Brooklyn’s crappy roads), hit some pot holes (a couple REALLY bad ones such as the ones on 287? when you leave battery tunnel in NYC going into Brooklyn) and never had a problem. Yes it’s a 35 sidewall, but I’m generally pretty good at spotting and reacting to road issues as I’m used to dodging even the smallest potholes cause I loved my Maxima and now my M that much :lol. I was inquiring more about the offset choice than the wheel choice. That’s what I meant by “looks good?” Is the fitment of a +41/+43 wheel good? :lol ---

I think it looks ok, wheels arent bad either. I would probably go for a lower offset, around 20 or so. ---

Wouldn’t that stick WAY out? I mean 41 is at the fender…I’d have to get a 8.5 wheel then no? Which would give the same look…no? ---
