They come in different sizes: 20x9 with +15 or +35 offset and 20x11 with +15 offset.will it fit the car and how?Mine is not lowered all stock.
The front with 20x9 +35 would fit well.
The rears with 20x11 +15 will stick out 68mm from your current stock wheels.

You could always do 20x9 all around.

This is why it's hard to choose wheels for the car.

Got bored so I put both rears on one side to see how they fit. Now I have a good idea what I'm gonna do to rebarrel my front wheels.


Edit: I still need to lower the front. My snow tires were overspeced

I found these BBS LM in my garage, 18 x 8 and 9 +35. These are lighter than stock, the car feels soooo much nicer now, more responsive, seems like its quicker!!! Got a wheel alignment done today as i raised the car up and now its perfect!

Well the BBS did not last long, someone wanted to buy them. Shame becuase its amazing what the lighter wheels do. The car was more responsive, even the gear changes felt quicker, felt alot more fun to drive. Ive now decided for some perm wheels, will be 18 x 8.5 and 9.5 +30 and +35, and will be light weight.

On a similar note, while removing the wheels, I tried some other wheels I have just to test brake clearance, and also to show you guys how they sit:

SSR SP1 18 x 9.5 +12 with 245 tyre




5Zigen 18 x 9.5 +12, MASSIVE brake Clearance!



SSR SP1 19 x 9.5 -3 with 215 tyre

I'm using 245/35/20's in my fronts. My fronts are 20x9 +38's. So it should be ok.

You'll probably rub on the fender liner
