Wheel depth

I was wondering, which wheel size and offset would give a more noticeable concave, a 19x9.5 +35 or a 20x9 +32? Also car is now lowered on Tein coilovers. Car isn't my daily driver so it will be slammed with stretched tires once I choose a wheel.

Which wheel are you choosing? Its hard to pull the look of 20's off, but a few members here have done it and made it look good.

I would stick with a 19" diameter, or no less than an 18" wheel IMO. It would be hard to slam on 20's and make it drivable. good luck

Go with the 19's. And a wider wheel will always give you a more concave look than a lower width.

Are you talking flush or concave? The offset is going to dictate how flush. The type/ design of wheel will be more the concave dictator.

Talking concave! I want the vossen cv3 but don't know if the 20x9 with a +32 all around or the staggered with the 19x8.5 +32 front and 19x10 with a +38 would give me a more visible concave

A 20" wheel is still just too big to have on the 3G TL and slam it. It just doesn't go hand in hand. With a 20" rim on this car and trying to slam it, it will still look like it is high off the ground.

Besides that, onto your concave issue. Here is a thread where the OP have the Vossen CV3 in 20's.

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ghlight=vossen

The front is a 20x9 +22 and they don't look very concave and you want to run that all around, but in +32. It took a 20x10.5 in the rear to actually look concave in that style rim.

Now on the other hand you want to run a 19x8.5 +32 up front, which will look pretty much like the 20x9 concave wise, maybe a tad less, BUT the 19x10 rear will really set off the concave look. Also with the 19's the car will look better overall because of the smaller size and it will look 10x better when you go to lower it.

So my vote is for the staggered 19" setup.

Really appreciate the feedback! 19's it will be!

If you do go with these in 19's you will probably be the first one on Azine with that setup. A few people here have the 20's because 19's weren't even an option then. I don't think I have seen anyone with the 19's yet. Or not that they have posted anyway.
