Default will these wheels fit my awd?

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone can help me with an offset question. A friend of a friend's is selling some nice work ls406 3 piece wheels for dirt cheap and I was thinking about buying them. Question is, can i make them fit my awd?

20x9 +10 225/35/20
20x10 0 235/35/20

I would say NO, offset is too low... If it's friend of a friend, just go and try to fit them on. Remember, if you put 20" lowering your GS is kinda a must.

i live in new york and the wheels are in Philadelphia so I wanted to ask for some thoughts before I actually drive a couple hrs to see them. I'm currently lowered on rsr superdowns but going to chance to bc coils with swift springs soon

Buckets, your current wheel set up is all square (assuming Oem wheels) and not staggered setup. I have an awd also and my wheels are all square. Don't know if the staggered set up well do anything to the response of the awd system, but it's something to think about!

Thanks for the feedback fellas! It's definitely something I'm considering to do but if it's going to be a pain in the ***, I might just pass on the insane deal..

No, these would not fit. You will need to do a lot of work to make these work.

Depends on the width of the rim and a little of the width of the tire.

you need to stay in high 30s or low 40s in the rear if you are running x10.5 or x10.0. For the front, high 20s or low 30s offsets on x9.0 rims.
