Default F-Type Offset (SVR opposite day)

Just picked up a 2017 blue SVR convertible. (parked next to the F-PACE SVR ) However, I have never been a fan of black wheels. I do love the Maelstrom wheels and they are high on my list to replace the factory rims, however, I also love the "rotor" 20" wheels. I cannot find the posts where they show the difference in the offsets between an SVR and non-SVR. I think the fronts are the same, but the SVR has a slightly wider axel (or other part that makes the hubs stick out a little more than non-svr). So, if I get the factory "rotor" wheels the wheels should stick out a little more, but how much more? Putting non-svr wheels on an SVR seems opposite of what most are looking to do, but I really like those "rotor" wheels. Here is my quickphotoshop of what it would look like.

Personally, I like that look - a lot. Of course, then you have to consider whether the power vents and/or window trim should match the wheels.

Which wheels were supplied with your car? I looked at some images and it seems the “Coriolis” might be what you have? I’m using Alloy Wheel Direct’s web sight for reference. It looks like the SVR wheels, including the “Maelstrom” are the same in front but the rears are 11j’s in width and ET54 where our lowly R’s get 10.5j and ET38.

What you’re calling “Rotors” they are calling “Aeros”. Same wheel? Not my favorite wheel, to be honest. Maelstroms might be tough to source eBay wise but I’d keep an eye out for them. In the mean time you can powder coat your existing wheels. I would also grab a buddy with an R and borrow a wheel to mount up on your SVR just to see if it’s happy.

here are factory. Just for the record this is not my car, but looks exactly the same. I didnt like those "Aeros" at first, until I saw them in person.
