Maximum Offset

I was wondering what the maximum offset is for the front wheels. I've seen many aftermarket applications that add 10-11mm in the front. I am considering a front wheel that is 8.5" wide (same as stock) with a 20mm offset (13mm more aggressive than stock). I will be riding on stock size tires (245s) in front and I am lowered on H&R's. I want my front wheels to be flush without poking out. Will the extra 13mm be too aggressive? Does anyone have pics?

Here is my older set of MRR HR6.
They are 20x9 with a 25 offset which translated to an almost 19 in a 8.5" rim.

The guys at Need 4 Speed Motorsports hooked m up. These wheels were cut to exact specs for each customer
taking in to consideration what tires they will be running and how aggressive you want them.

I see you are in SoCal so you are fairly close to them.

Thanks for the pics Mellow. I was pretty sure i was going with 20's. I have looked into Forgestar CF10's, Savini BM7's, Niche Targas, and I like those Rohanas u are sittin on. However, with a new baby, a (now) stay at home wife, some work needed on my 300ZX, and some other expenses I want to do to the house, I've reconsired my priorities. All that being said, I may be just sticking with 19's for now so I can use my near new tires that are on the car now. Now I'm looking at some M5 reps in 19's. They offer the ones I want with either stock offsets or a more aggessive +20. If I were to go stock offset, I was gonna get some 10mm spacers. The +20 would be 13mm more agressive but based on the pics it would be perfect. Thanks again.

Can you guys help with this? I am getting the OEM 464m wheels for a 550 m sport. company car - so will not lower.

8.5J x 20 Offset: 33 EH2+ / 245/35 R20 95Y
Rear Wheels: 9J x 20 Offset: 44 EH2+/ 275/30 R20 97Y.

Will 5mm front and 15mm back be enough to push to the fender edge? I ordered RS Technik last night but now wondering if I should have gone bigger.

I'd like it to be more aggressive than stock but not outrageous.

Thanks. And sorry about the hijack!

This should answer your question. But without lowering you might get away with those sizes.

Thank you! I did see that before asking. I know he was lowered so thought I should go a little more conservative on the spacers. I guess I will see in a few weeks!

Great looking cars btw!
