Default stupid question (wheel fitment)

i know its a no but i was wondering if this would fit
The wheel specs are:

(2) WORK Varianza T1S 20x10.5 -45 (R-Disk) 5x114.3 LS (Lightning Silver) Step Rim
(2) WORK Varianza T1S 21x10.5 -45 (R-Disk) 5x114.3 LS (Lightning Silver) Step Rim

The lip size is 148mm lip (~5.8") all around.

how much modification do you think would be needed?

Wow, staggered wheels sizes. Hard to carry a spare for each

that -45 offset is what scares me and the fact that i would need to get a bbk to go along with the wheels as well

with keeping the camber less than 3 degrees. with 265 tires. you need 3 inch moon flare.

these would fit and there is no need for 2 sizes of spares... a lot of cars don't have the same size spare and it works just fine as a temp fix. but major fender work, cambering, stretching tires, possibly even more would be required. it would look pretty sick on the weird vip wheel setup charts, but i would come down a little on the lip size in the front and if you really want 21's then smaller lip in the back also or 20's in rear with that lip and this would be a more realistic project
