I'm about to buy these exact same wheels, but I had a question about the offsets you got. You said you went with 20x8.5 +20 245/30/20 and 20x10 +45 285/25/20, right? I was planning to go with that exact same setup but with 19's. I know the rears will have very minor rubbing with 285's, and I'm fine with that, I'll probably just roll the fenders. But are the fronts okay with that much offset? Do you rub anywhere with the steering wheel at full lock in either direction?
I also find it odd they would recommend that much offset in the front since that actually makes the front stance about about 12mm wider (6mm on each side) than the rear, when the stock setup has the front 5.4mm (2.7mm on each side) narrower than the rear. So your front is actually a whopping 17.4mm wider compared to rears in the original stock stance. With a 19x10 +45 offset in the rear, I would think a +28-30 offset in front, which puts the edges of the front at 2.1-4.1mm narrower than the rears, would be the ideal setup. How does the car handle with the wider front tire track?
