Default Will any of these offsets work?

Ya ya I know...nobody else likes chrome. Iforged and Symbolic have nice 3-piece 5 stars in brushed or silver (but too expensive for me). Here are other options I'm looking at:

1) Enkei (only offset is 40 w/ both 20x8.5 and 20x9.5)
2) TSW (20x10 w/ offsets 25 or 40 and 20x8.5 w/ offsets 20 or 40)
3) Lorenzo (only offset is 35 w/ both 20x8.5 and 20x9.5)

Can anyone tell me if any of the above offsets will work w/ my RWD 2006 Black GS? Id like to stay away from spacers.

25 and 20 are way too aggressive. thats more like 350z and g35 wheels. you want to stay around 35-45 depending on the width of your wheel

silo...don't beat yourself up just cause other peeps don't care for chrome....it's your ride do as you please. it's getting old hearing dudes rip on others because they're not dropped...droppped enough...rolling stock 17's-18's...20's...22's. (i'm not ripping you silo...just don't think peeps need to explain their choices) good luck on whatever wheel you choose....and if you're working with D2 it should be a great experience!!!

why not buy wheels that actually fit the car. Just order them as they come from the manufacturer for your car. Its think its funny how much people think about offsets when its not something that we need to worry about because the wheel companies know what fits our cars and produce the wheels as such. Even 3 pc custom wheels are still made to fit. Keep it simple

sometimes the wheel companies get it wrong, wheel co specialize in building wheels not putting them on cars. im in the middle of getting my rear wheels rebuilt with hopefully the right offset as we speak and I paid ridiculous $ for these wheels

when they make a wheel they are designing the wheel to fit a stock car. When you lower the car there is an increased chance of issues but this can usually be fixed by adjusting tire size and maintaing close to stock diameter tire sizes on the new set up. I wish you the best of luck. I had wheel issues with a very expensive set of wheels and it was annoying as all hell
