So there's way too many posts on here for me to even be able to tell if someone's asked lol. So I'ma just ask. Got offered a pretty good deal for some Ferrada Fr3's and I know that they will fit but my question is what lowering kit should I get so I can still get that low look but also won't scrap. I'd also like to know how big of tires I could go without having to roll my fenders..
Specs:
Front: 20x9.5
Rear: 20x11
Btw im stock everything right now

pretty skeptical of someone that says "lowering kit" and gives wheel sizes without offsets . . . .

19x9.5 = 15mm offset with 245/40 tires
19x11 = 12-15mm offset with 285 or 295/35 tires

Yep, that's what you gonna need to run the more aggressive 19x9.5+15 wheel that was previously mentioned before that comment was made.
What are your plans for the car? Spirited driving,track,etc..
And do you plan to lower suspension any?
These are good things to know before ordering wheels & determining where they're gonna sit.

Stock suspension.
Being twin-turbo; you'll probably want to adjust rear camber on the positive side of the spec sheet-as you'd have more rubber planted.
A conservative spec 9.5/11 would be +32F/+25R, 275/35F & 325/30R.
But it's different strokes for different folks.

9.5 + 20
11 +15
Will fit within stock camber specs if ur willing to run more camber u can go wider. Optionzero has closer offsets to camber numbers he can chime in

Kind of unrelated, but does anyone know if Z wheels would fit on a q60 coupe? They're both Nissan and have the same thread pattern. Not sure about offsets, etc. Can't seem to find the specs anywhere online for the Q60 coupe wheels other than their sizes.

might be a good idea to get off stock suspension when you're "twin turbo"

Thank You for the help.
I do not track car.I do enjoy spirited driving.I had not planed on lowering.The only suspension change I made was larger sway bars front and back.I know this is off topic but what would you suggest for springs and coilovers?This car will be used as a driver.I really liked the car when I got it but thought it was lacking in power so the turbos.
Again thank everyone for all the help.

I spirit drive mine & hard acceleration from slow to no speed...so i frequently light the tires.
With this being said;i have factory suspension up front & only adjustable camber arms in rear,My camber is sitting at -0.9*/-0.8* up front (non-adjustable).
My rear has been adjusted from -1.60* to -0.9'ish (the same as front)...so my tire wear stays even & doesn't wear out the inner portion.
rear tires currently have (5.5/32") on inner & (6/32") outer tread remaining from 10/32" new...I have no problem's in the curves & pretty close to maxed out on rear backspacing at 8".
As far as springs go...that's when you'll need to buy some quality SPL Fuca's & some rear component's to have full control of adjustments to suspension...For as you go low-wheels will lean inward (-camber) & you will want to spec that for your desired driving or look.
I can't answer for the coil's...as they may take up more room than factory parts & could cause interference w/wrong spec'd wheels.
