Default Need insight on offset

Hi everyone. So I'm in the market for some wheels and I've narrowed it down to two choices. Work Gnosis CV201 or XSA 04C; in 20" with a step lip.

Work Gnosis CV201



Work XSA 04C




I'm currently on tanabe nf210 lowering springs, but plan to switch to BC coilovers. My question is, what's the most aggressive setup I can go with little to no fender work? I'm aiming to get it flushed.

Appreciate all the insight and advice I can get! Thanks!

I would go with +28 front and +38 rear to be safe. I think anything lower than that would require some type fender work.

Thanks for the advice Sniip3r! The hard part now is picking which of the two and color

Both look good but I think I like the CV201 a bit more

You should clarify which tire size you want to run too before you select wheel offsets.

Ahh sorry. I was thinking 245/35 Front and 275/30 Rear. Looking to go 20x9.5 in the front and 20x10.5 in the rear.

There were 2 cars in the database that ran CV201's, each with different specs.

You should contact them to see if they had any rubbing issues.

I don't think it will be possible for you to run an aggressive setup with the width and tire specs with out a major pull and shave. Also you probable have to run an R or A disk due to the 4 pot brakes and flat face of the CV201. I think your offsite size will be in the really high 30s if you want that tire size

Thank you for linking those. I did use Calvin's build as a guide before posting this. However, now I am leaning towards a totally different set of wheels. Finding the right set is ever so stressful

I spoke with Work USA directly and they said that R Disk is a must in the front. W or O is fine for the rear.
