Default Wheel swap

I met a guy with 20"sevas wheels on his infiniti g35 coupe. He wants to sell them for a steal with falken tires. They are staggered fitment. I know the bolt pattern is the same but would the offset be close enough to fit my ls430. He doesent know the offset either.

if his offsets are pretty flush with his g35 more than likely he is in the +25 offsets what are the widths of the wheels...he has to know that much, but max ive seen on a LS430 is 20x9.5, 20x10.5 + 30 all around and that with shaving the fenders alot...

shoot ill give you a deal on 20's i have with perfect offsets for our cars..

off topic, but I see some people with good knowledge with offsets.

I have work 3 piece VS.
18X8.5 +31
18X9.5 +31

will they fit my SC300? what size of tires I need?
I can get them dirty cheap, so I am thinking about getting them for track days.

bro you can rock lower offsets on the SC if you want! those will fit nicely under the fenders and can rock some meaty tires if you choose! i personally would run, 235/40-18 and 265/35-18 thats justme though, if i were to track them

cool! That's what I figured, just wasn't sure about the front.
Since they are too cheap for 3 piece staggered, I guess I will buy them.

Ohh, they look like this, these were 17', but the set I buy is 18', has more lip, and with better offset,
what's the name of it? it shows VS on the center cap.

sevas dont clear ls430 caliper w/o spacers in the front. definately a good idea to test fit before u buy
