20x9 you can run with a +17 to +22
20x10.5 you can run with a +28

Of course it also depends what tire size you go with...but that should clear with no roll or pull and still look half decent.

I ordered new wheels, doing 20x9.5, 20x13

they are primarily design to relieve stress on the LBJ.

That is gonna need A LOT of work to fit in the front. I recommend reading this thread from front to back and reevaluate your question

i have some 19x8.5 +35 for the front and 19x9.5 +40 for the rear.

will this setup be okay without any fender modification ?

also my suspension is coming in the mail and i want to have a nice tuck. what would be the ideal tire setup be for possibly a 40 or 35 series all around ? what would be the widest i can run without having any rubbing issues

how much work am i looking at to run 20x9 and 20x11 (+26 all around)? I looking to run 225/35 and 255/30. i would rather get the back pads shaved than pull the fenders.

Looking at purchasing 20x9.5 +24 and 20x10.5 +28 wheels. How aggressive will these be? This is still my daily driver but i'm thinking this setup may not give me the look I completely want. I have 20x9 +38 and 20x10 +43 on the car now. Lmk what you think!
