To be honest don't know any of the specs besides both re 20's. I let my garage guy to deal with my suspension and tires to deal with. If I like them, I put them on.
MMR for $200 for the set

My advice is to mount some tires and test fit them first if the seller will let you. Take some pictures of them on the car and then sleep on it. Personally, I like the second set better. Good luck bro.

Thought so... on that note, I would just keep what you have and find wheels that would fill the fenders properly. Judging by the pictures, you should be able to run some pretty aggressive widths and offsets front/rear. That is, unless you like the sunkun wheel look.

I was thinking to try what my garage guy . Told me . Some big spacers 2 or 3 inches and give it a shoot. Thanks for the advice

So you're going to be using them to dial in what widths you can run and what your final offsets should be, or will you be running them like that?

Do with those big fender flares I can stick out the wheels up to 2 inches with no problems. And probably they will look nice but what I forgot to ask my guy was if we go that direction . Do o have to get adjustable parts ? Lower Ball joint ,upper joints. Etc. I'm more worry to have it rum correctly then the looks
