Here ya go....
Front Wheels: Size 20" x 8.5" , Lip Size 2 1/4" , Bolt Pattern 5 x 114.3 , Offset 40
Rear Wheels: Size 20" x 10" , Lip Size 4" , Bolt Pattern 5 x 114.3 , Offset 45
Front Tires: Toyo Proxes T1R 245/35 ZR20 95Y
Rear Tires: Toyo Proxes T1R 275/30 ZR20 97Y (will go with a T1R 285/30 ZR20 97Y for a little more side wall) Potholes are brutal to band aids. :-(
I know this is conservative but the plans are to lower the car with coil-overs 1" in front and 1/2" to 2" in the back along with removing the heavy stock muffler for some Magnaflow bullets from the resonators back.
I did not want to have issues with the wheel housing lip(s) rubbing the wheels/tires after lowering.
An SC430 project car by WheelExperts Automotive group was my inspiration to do a tasteful executive style build over time:

It's not exact....Looking at the illustration it says 8 inch width + 45 offset 33mm to 0mm. That tells me that I can purchase spacers anywhere between 33mm to 0mm.
I was looking for exact measurements from just inside the fender of an SC430 front and rear. The illustration doesn't do that.

Also, has anyone put 245x45x18s on stock wheels? Are there front suspension issues? I want to go to 18x9.5e45 Mustang SVT wheels w/ 275x40x18s. Any issues there? Can anyone recommend a supplier for hub centric rings? Thanks for tolerating the newbie.

IMHO, you are 19mm too wide in front and 23mm too wide in back. As long as the tires stretch that much, you might be OK.

FYI Everyone,
I just installed some rims with 10.5 Wide +39 with 295/30-20 tires in the rear they're flush with the fender when looking under the car I still have at least another inch of space for tire width.
My my calcs,...
1. If I upgrade to an 11 inch rim that would need to be offset by 6mm so It would need a 46 offset to stay flush.
2. If I have an inch of space on the inside I can upgrade my tires by 20mm.
3. If I widen tires by 20mm to 315/25-20 I would have to offset the 20mm by half to stay flush so final offset would be +56.
Have I missed anything in my calcs?

Can someone chime in if the below set up will fit my sc430?
front: 19x9.5 +35mm with 275/40/19
rear: 19x9.5 +35 with 285/40/19
according to the chart it seems like the set up is leaning toward the conservative side. Is the front too wide? maybe narrower tire? Car will be lowered with megan ez street coilovers. how low can i go with the set up?
Thanks.

Advice from the CL Oracles
My aftermarket wheels are +35 offset all around. That is +10 offset from the OEM +45. I plan to put 25mm hubcentric bolt on spacers on the rear bringing the total offset to +35.
I do not plan to add spacers to the front as they are already +10 by the wheel and any spacer thinner than 25 is a slip-on and not a bolt-on as I do not want to change the studs.
I have stock suspension.
Are there any concerns with ride, tire wear, safety (etc.) with this setup?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Front: 20x9.5 +0 with 225/35/20 hankook v12
Rear: 20x10.5 +0 with 255/35/20 hankook v12
My front only rubs if ONLY if my steering is turned When I hit a dip or going down a steep driveway... Basically if my steering wheel is straight I can hit bumps go up and down driveways perfectly... I just get the angle first and straighten my steering wheel
As for my rear... I'm rolled and pulled... I still rub only when I hit a good size dip... Even getting in and out of the driveway for me is dangerous... I'm on stock height
IMO (in my opinion) the front is way too aggressive for stock fenders... My front isn't modified at all... Since I'm getting custom fenders for my front and rear soon it doesn't bother me
Stock height and it cambers
Here's a better picture of how flush my rear wheel is with a slight pull..
Front kinda sticks out a bit but once again it's not modified
Here's a side view... Picture... I hope my experience and first hand info are of use to everyone

Here's the rear fender unmodified when I was running 275/30/20 Achilles
This is when the suspension was compressed a bit but this should give you an idea of the fitment
Ignore the wavy roll... It's been fixed but this is with a very slight pull after the roll
I hope my setup and explanation cleared up a few question for all the aggressive figments!

The biggest concern would be to make sure you're buying the spacers from a reputable brand. There are a few horror stories out there about the spacers giving out. The other thing to make sure is that they are torqued properly, and that you check them once in a while to make sure they stay that way. I'm not entirely sure what weight they should be torqued to, but I've seen that information elsewhere on this forum.
This is my setup for the summer. Front's are 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 10 on the back. I'm going to be putting 12 mm spacers on the back and 5 on the front next year, as well as lowering it just a tiny bit more.
I'll post better pictures of my winter setup once I get the spacers in. They're 17 x 7 and a +45 offset all around with 225/45 tires so they have a smaller diameter and the car sits lower. It actually looks surprisingly good and is significantly faster, handles better, and stops on a dime. Also better fuel economy.
