20" Foose Speedster Wheels
I just recently bought a set of 20" Foose Speedster Wheels and the staggered set up of 9.5" wide rear and 7.5" wide front. They have nitto nt555 tires on them. I picked them up for a KILLER deal, they look amazing on my 350z although i just wanted to get some opinions from you guys. What i really want to know is if you like the way they are or if a spacer of some kind would bring them closer to the outside of the fender well and look better. idk, i am in Columbia SC. Lemme know your opinions

post the offsets. from the looks of the pic, i'd guess you could use 25mm spacer at least, all around, and maybe even a wider spacer in the back.
but even before all of that, those widths are waayyy to skinny man. you can get by with 9.5 in the rear, though you want wider for sure. 7.5 up front though, those are way too skinny. you're talking honda civic widths there.
as for looks, post some full side shots. for my personal taste, i dont think i'd rock them from what i can see, just my opinion though.
having said that though, congrats on new wheels!

Alright, ill get some more pics in the am, The wheels though are in absolute perfect condition with not one scratch and the tires have prolly no more than 500 miles on them and i was able to pick them up yesterday for $900. The guy had them on his g35 and he had bought them brand new and spent over $4000 when the rims had first come out in the Chip Foose Selection. But it was a killer deal that i could not pass up.

no offense, i dont see these being worth over $4k new. And i agree, i think 7.5 infront is way to small, it is smaller then stock. Also 25mm spacer sounds about right. i rock them on all corners and looks so much better
all that being said, congrats on the wheels .

my mistake, there 8.5" wide up front. Just because i have them on my car, doesn't mean its the end wheels can be changed. I wanted 20" wheels because i like how they fill up the fender wells but still give me suspension room. I also like them because of the lip and 5-spoke style. If anyone has some opinions on a better looking wheel i could go with and pictures. much appreciated.

if u size your tires correctly for your wheels, you should have any more or less fender gap than with any other size wheel. They shouldnt "fill up the fender wells" any more or less if you're maintaining the proper/stock overall tire diameter.
