go S-Techs or something else... the Volks needs no Hubcentric rings if they are already custom made from japan... make sure u do get something that clears BBK.... other than that..it looks good...it's better to buy your BBK first since they are on sale though

+38 will be fine to clear the F-Sport BBK.

I am in the similar situation as coconut but i want to go for +30 for the rear wheel. I have a 250 with Tein CS coilover drop. Am I going to have any rubbing issue if i'm using the stock 255/40 rear tire?

ppl talking about clearing a bbk, it has nothing to do with the offset, it has to do with the disk (face of the rims), if you plan on putting on a BBK or even a 350 brake swap you'll need a R disk or High disk, different brands use different names. Buy the rims correctly then you wont have to run spacers

IMO you will probably want to go lower later to eliminate the wheel gap you will probably still have after F-sport or Eibach springs..
