Might do a mild drop with spring only.

What I meant by "not an aggressive drop" is slamming the car. I want to keep it very streetable. So a 1" drop might be perfect.

Also I think a 20x9.5 +30 with a 255/30 might be perfect for the front. That will net the wheel sticking out 30mm (1.2") from the OEM wheel and no difference to the suspension. The rear is what''s in question for the offset. The norm being a 285/30 with a 20x10.5. An offset of +35 will net the wheel sticking out 35mm (1.4") and 5mm (0.2") closer to suspension. The suspension is not a worry. A +30 will net the wheel sticking out 40mm (1.6") and no difference to the suspension. And just to share a +40 will net the wheel sticking out 30mm (1.2") and 10mm (0.4") closer to suspension. Of course these are all from OEM location.

So maybe even the below set-up of would look good. I just prefer a "fatter" tire than what I'm seeing G owners doing.
20x9.5 +30 255/30-20
20x10.5 +40 285/30-20

Anymore info to share guys?

LOL Funny you post that car. I've been speaking with him on another forum. His set-up is;
Front: 20x9.5 +35 245/35/20
Rear: 20x10.5 +37 275/30/20
Drop: Tanabe Coilovers

I just think the front can come out a bit more.

I'd go 19x9 or 9.5 with 19x10 or 10.5 with a nice set of "normally-sized" tires.

I don't want to do 19's. From picture searching 20's look more appropriate on the sedan. Check out below...

Hankook Ventus V12 245/35/20 285/30/20







No issues with fit at all! Lowered on coil overs.
I think a set of HRE 794RS 20x9.5 +30 255/30 & 20x10.5 +40 285/30 will be the set-up.

And the tires are too small for those wheel widths, you can see the wheel poke out past the tire, which is curbage-disaster for most wives. I'd go smaller wheel (and lower offset) and/or wider tires.

What size tire?

Do you plan on lowering your car? If so, how much?

Why I want to run a 255/30 & 285/30 and leaning towards a 20x9.5 +35 and 20x10.5 +40.
