Default Daizen Springs with 20 inch rims

I saw nice pair of rims that I like. I currently have daizen springs on 19 inch rims. I was wondering if anyone runs 20 inch rims with daizen springs? If so, do they rub or did you have to do anything special to make the rims fit. The specs of the wheels are 20X8.5 FRONT 20X10 REAR Offset: 35mm front 43mm rear. Do you guys think I could get these to fit with Daizen springs without rubbing. What tires size should I run on this staggered set-up. Trying to go aggressive as possible without rubbing. Thank for the help.

Ide go 245/35 front and 275/35 rear. Depending on the tire you may have to shave the rear fender. Nice wheels.

I'd go with 245/35 in front you need to roll the fronts. In the rear 275/30 and shave the rears.

In the rear a 10" wheel with a 43mm offset isn't exactly aggressive. You may not need any fender work at all int he rear.

An 8.5" with a 35mm is also not really aggressive either.

I would bolt it all up and take it for a spin. Adjust as necessary...

you will rub without fender work, its not very agressive but there is no tire streaching and what they call the "fat tire" set up. like states above i am running this same exact set up
