What size tires are you running? Also you mentioned needing 15MM spacers in the rear. Could the +25 20x10 fit? BBS has that size but it doesn't fall under recommended size for the G30

Did you intentionally try to run the OEM tire? The reason I am asking is that there is an option to run front 20x9 +25mm 255/35ZR20 and rear 20x10.5 +35mm 295/30ZR20 with no spacers and it looks super flush.

Curious to hear your take on it.

Yes, I wanted to run OEM size wheels and tyres to minimise any issues especially when the car is lowered. I've seen people put the F90 wheels on their cars (which are wider) and there is a mixed feedback on if they work without issues. I think they swap out the 295 for a 285 to combat the rubbing issues - and most seem to be okay with cars on stock ride height.

With me being lowered I didn't want to have issues so just went with the oem size setup. The space and fitment is already quite tight on the front so I don't think a 255 would of worked for me (I could be wrong) but I didn't want to chance it after spending all that money.

I think the fitment works well with how I have it... If I wanted to be really picky about it then the rear would need to come out 2mm and 1mm on the front - but I can live with that

Glad I asked! Would honestly also rather keep it safe and run an OEM size. How much did you lower your MSS springs with the 20s?

8J ET26, but with a 10mm spacer it makes it ET16

9J ET38, but with a 15mm spacer it makes it ET23
