Rims whats a better choice?Offset kings of CL?
My fenders are shaved ,pulled, and Tein SS all the way down in the front. What should I go for:
20x9.5 25 offset front
20x10 25 offset rear
or
20x9 20 offset front
20x10 25 offset rear
Also, will a 20x9.5 with 25 offset be the same distance from the hub as a 20x9 with 20 offset?
20x9.5 25 offset front
20x10 25 offset rear
or
20x9 20 offset front
20x10 25 offset rear
Also, will a 20x9.5 with 25 offset be the same distance from the hub as a 20x9 with 20 offset?

The 9.5J +25 will stick out 1MM more than the 9J +20 would.

lol well think about this logically man. 9.5" is half an inch wider than 9". One inch is 25.4mm, so half of that is 12.7mm. Then half of the extra is on the inside of the wheel, and half is on the outside. so there is 6.35mm extra either side. Thus the 9.5 has 5mm less offset but 6mm more width on the outside, so therefore 1mm more overall poke.
As people say, 1mm is a bees **** its really not worth worrying about.
A better thing to consider is how much stretch you want on your tyres and what sizes you're going to run cause the 9.5 is going to mean you're running more stretch, or a bigger tyre depending what you want to do. Also, bigger wheels and tyres take more effort to steer. So if it really doesnt matter to you that much, id stick with a 9" up front, it saves a bit of wear being a bit narrower and is easy enough to match tyres to
