these are really nice but you will have to shave the fender lips in the rear and roll the front. Lower the car first bro... you will thank me later.

here's my junk with 25mm H&R in front and 30mm Kics out back. IMO the front looks just right with the 25mms and the rear can still go another 7mm or so. mind you this is with the stock wheels which are at 50mm offset. no fender mods, no rubbing.

Ideally, I would get wheels that fit best, and add as little spacers as you can since getting wheels flush is not an easy task.

If you get spacers they wont kill any tires faster. they will put stress on the hubs , But I haven't seen any really damage and I have had a lot on my rear hubs. before.

No yur getting it a little confused, if you get the right offsets you won't need spacers. Those wheels I posted are decent offsets already (but they are 19's not 20's). Do you have your heart set on 20's?

read this old thread and it will give you an idea of how conservative to aggressive offsets have progressed over time. Make sure read the whole thing to get the gist of the change over the years.

these wheels look pretty cool also

That's my point, If you understand offsets you will not have to buy spacers.
The thread is long but a good read through to get the understanding of offsets. I learned the hard way, you don't have to.
