i dont think they make a 215 in a 20.. but to give you an idea of how it will sit, this is my gs with a 20x9.5 +15 with a 225/35/20 my camber is maxed out positive with rca installed as well. your going to sit 2mm more in and have room for camber. trust me you will be fine

nice wheels buddy! and congrats on your baby!

anyway, i think you should just keep the wheels and work with it. the wheels will push in a lil bit once it's lowered.

Let me shed some advice.

Current specs

I'm running 9.5 +5 on 225/35. Rolled the fenders and I was good. Maybe like -1/-2 camber?
My rears are 10.5 +5 245/35. That didn't fit I had to run -6 camber.

Previous WEAKER set, on BMW 7 series wheels with adapters.
19x9 +5 215/35 Fitted perfectly with rolled fenders no rub.
19x10 +5 235/35 Fitted perfectly with no arms, SHAVED rear.

Yeah, I may but it's worth a try to get the other size too to see the difference.
