Default Wheel Fitment Help!

Hello there you all! Well I'm the lucky guy who bought the work wheels not too long ago on here from another member. Now I'm looking to get them on, but one problem.. very aggressive! I'm new to aggressive wheel fitment thing and I was thinking maybe some of you with experience can chime in and help me get these wheels looking right. I know I need spacers in the front because they make contact with the sport calipers, rears on the other hand isn't an issue. Most likely, I'll need extended wheel studs too. Tire sizes? Any particular brands you guys recommend? As for suspension, I have stance coilovers and all around spc camber kits ready to go. Here are pics of how it sits as of now. Any help will be greatly appreaciated, thanks.

Specs: Work Meister SP1

FRONT
19x10 +5 (93mm lip)
R-Disk

REAR
19x12 +29 (121mm lip)
O-Disk

Front:


Rear:

Boy! That's a lot of offset for the front. Especially when it's already a 10'' wide wheel. Then you said you will need spacer also to clear the calipers? Doesn't look right at all on the front.

As I told you after you pm me, the front is super aggressive as is without the spacer you will have to run.

You will have to run spacers in the rear as well.

Also stretch tires like we discussed but as long as that the look you want thats all that matters.

Damn shame you gotta run spacers IMHO.

Was this for a 370z?

What she said.

These are really lopsided setup.

I had setup similar but much more balanced front and rear offset wise.

Good luck to OP.

From what I was told from the seller, yes.

They will be -5 in the front and +4 in the rear.
My question is, how do I achieve this?

10mm spacer front, 25mm spacer rear.

I'm not really into the whole "hellaflush" scene, but that's just way too aggressive. The front is ridiculous.

Maybe you can buy a pair of new wheels for the front and sell the "fronts" that you have right now to someone who will use them for a less aggressive rear.

Good God Man! Those are super aggressive. Camber kit and make sure it goes under -4 degrees. Hope you've got a big tire budget cause you will be burning through those like crazy!
