Default Would this 20' wheel .40 offset fit my 99 GS300

Hey pro's need your advice and need it soon. Looking to buy some 20 wheels for my 99 gs3. Theres this set of wheels that are staggered 20x8.5 front w/offset of 40 and rear 20x10 w/offset of 45. Would these wheels fit my car? I got some 20's right now not sure of the offset but i know the fronts are 20x9's and rears are 20x10's.. Let me know thanks

Although offset and width plays a role, the wheel design is also very important. You can have 2 wheels with the same width and offset looking different with different lip sizes (including no lip) if that is the design of the rim.

I am just going by the numbers and they look safe. Depending on your lowering and tire specs, you will get the typical 20s rubbing but there is not much you can do about it. Again, depending o lowering and tires, you MAY need to touch the front fenders. The rears should be fine.

I appreciate everyones input. Just realized that the lug pattern was not a 5x 114.3 as desribed but, turned out to be a rare 5x 108. So turns out the deal was too good to be true. Thanks again.

Hey pro's i got another one for yah.. Its some staggered 20's Axis MOD's that coming off a 350Z. 20x9 front 20x10 rear. Will this fit the GS or will it be too aggressive on the offset?

My first reaction would be no. The Z can take more aggressive offsets and if this person did it right, then the GS can't handle it. I believe the hub size is also different. Luckily it is bigger on the Z so you can put rings in them, but that's besides the point.

forget it, if it's fitted "correctly" for the z, it doesn't even come close to fit the gs
