Running a 20mm front and a 25mm rear spacer will give me effective offset of +23 front and +18 rear.

Tyres will either be the stock Michelins 215/45 or I will get some 225/45.

So will 17x7.5+23 F and 17x7.5+18 R fit?

Thanks
Will fit with no problems.

I'll be running TRD lowering springs on my suspension setup (that is the only modification).
My question is, I have seen these setups on other cars, but they are all lowered, control arms, camber, etc. (which I would do eventually). But running on just the lowering springs, would I poke a lot? Would I need spacers? Basically, would this work for me without the coilovers, and camber, and all that, or would it just poke a lot, or look god awful?
Poke will be minimal. Maybe 5mm depending on much camber you gain from the lowering. You may need a spacer to prevent rubbing on the spring/strut. Every car is slightly different, and everyone's definition of "safe" is different. Some say +38 on 9.5 you are safe. Some say 5mm of clearance is not safe.

Pirelli P-Zero System - 235/35 18R
+35mm Off-set

I also plan on grabbing a set of RS-R Black-i coil (~1" lowered) overs. Should this all fit without issue?
Will fit with no issues. I would suggest a 245/35 tire or a 235/40 tire. 235/35 is an uncommon size.

I don't know too much about fitment so would love feedback.
Thinking of the following:
XXR 530 - 18" x 8.75"
Bridgestone potenza RE003's - 235/40 18R
+33mm off-set

Looking at picking up some Shockworks coil overs ( Aussie brand).

How bad would the poke be?
Cheers
Poke will be about 5-8mm AT MOST. I would say minimal to none. Poke will be gone after some lowering and camber. It will look good. Tires might be stretched slightly.

245/40 18R

Not sure if it's relevant, but my car is also lowered ~1.4 inches.

I also wanted to know the difference between 245/40 and 255/40 tires. I'm not sure how width will affect the tires being mounted. According to the calculator both look like they fit but maybe someone can clarify for me since I'd rather have 245/40 but I don't want there to be any issues getting it mounted.

Thanks!
245/40 is taller than stock. A little too tall for my liking. But some people run it with no problems. Some have problems though.
quick tutorial. 40=40% of the width of the tire.
245/40= 245 X .4 = xxx mm side wall height
255/40= 255 X .4 = xxx mm side wall height
so 255 is 10mm wider than 245 so there for 10mm X .4 = 4mm higher sidewall on 255 than 245.
Read the tire spec to get the exact measured sizes as the math is just a guideline.

Do you know is there gonna be any rubbing or other issues?
Good size. You should be good to go. 225/40 tire will be stretched a little, but you should be fine. Also check out 235/40 and 245/35 tires.

I know it's uncommon but it's extremely close for over all tire height.

I live in Colorado so ATM a drop is pointless. No fender roll but would a 18x9.5 all around work with the right tire size on stock suspensions? Kinda sucks don't come pre rolled like Genesis coupe

HI!

Someone help me to decide what to choose of Gramlights 57extremes?

I have thinked 18x8,5 +42 face2 all around but still I have taught if the 18x9,5 +40 looks much better and fits nicely without rubbing at rear!

I just wonder is the 9,5 wide wheel with 255/265/35 tyre too big for this car and effects much to performance?

I know the 8,5 is better than 9,5 for performance except grip but still I want think about it!

Tyres I would put setup 1 225 or 235/40 allround setup 2 235/40 front 265/35 rear or 225/40 front 255/35 rear!

I talked to a buddy running the 18.95 Setup and he said on stock suspension only rub he got was front if going over a big enough speed bump etc... Ill most likely go 18x9.5 wrapped in some Nitto's if want the specs let me know it might help give you a range. Its hard in this community to kind of get an exact of what you want basically have to fight for your own no one wants to share there setup if guys like it not sure why that loses out on them maybe getting sponsors but glad to help if needed.

Your setup will work just fine if keeping stock suspension have a good tires and picture combo of something close to it if needed.

you need adjustable coilovers to have clearance on the inside with that setup. stock suspension or lowering springs will still rub.

Trying to get into the wheel game. Saw my first wheels that I like, will it fit?

17x8 +35 offset 5x100. Hub Bore is 73.1

What I'm more worried about is the bore size, I know the car is around 56. And it's an ongoing battle of aluminum, plastic, if they help the car's load, if it's just to center the wheel for vibrations etc. I plan on mounting 225/45/17 tires as well since I've researched and those seem like the best bet.

Also, I know the rear is going to be flush and the front will stick out a bit. I'm not planning on lowering either.

Car is pre-rolled from the factory. People buy 20's for the Genesis. Big wheel for our car is not a big wheel for that car.

Why stagger. Car handles best with square wheel and tire. If you stagger tires but not wheels it would look weird. Unless you like that look. 245/35 or 255/35 is a good size.

Depends how low you are and how much camber is "slight" you will need 4-5+ degrees of camber or it will poke.

Look at a tire size calculator and compare to stock. 245/40 is tall. 245/35 is a better size. It also depends what suspension you are on. Coils you will be fine. Stock or just springs you will be very close to the spring/spring perch.

If the bolt pattern is 5x100 and hub bore is 56mm or bigger you are good.

Look up hub centric rings. They are made for this purpose. Aluminum ones are better than plastic.

I just did think they will look nicely flush!
