GS tire/wheel size masters needed
Looking at picking up some wheels for my AWD F Sport
Will these fit without rubbing or fender mods?
Front
20x8.5. +35 offset
245/35/20 tires
Rear
20x10 +45 offset
285/30/20
Any help would be much appreciated.
Awd is a challenge as the sizes have to be so similar front to back.

ok if you lower it the 285 are too wide for the rear, u will rub for sure, so go with 275 its much safer, I am running 275 on mine and Tanabe springs and its very good.

i believe the difference in 9" wheels and 9.5" is only 6mm although half inch = 12mm
because your lose 6mm of inner space and the wheel is positioned 6mm outwards
hopefully i can go low and natural camber will help out to clear the fender.
getting SSR MS3 and dropping on RSR coilovers

Absolutely no rubbing in the rear under normal load with 2-130lbs adults in the rear). But last week when I had to load up some heavy limestone tiles in the rear in the tune of 600lbs. There is barely 3/8" between the rear tire (outer wall) and the inner fender lining. My guess is had my tires had been 285 30, there might have been a problem.
The front has very small rubbing (outer wall tire to inner side of fender lining) on sharp turns with a dip mid-turn.
Now from reading some of the posts, each wheel might be slightly different from another even with the same offset. In addition, different tires have different shape as well. Finally it depends on your camber setting as well as more negative settings will allow you to fit larger rubber.
Last thing to consider is that it's really difficult to find good tires with 275/30/20. I'm ready to replace my tires with Michelin Super Sport. Unfortunately they don't make that size right now. But they do make 285/30/20. Which is what I'm considering but I know I'm taking a risk. Especially considering seeing how tight a fit the wheels were under heavy loads.
