yes... you'll need to do more than just.. fenders..

20x9.5 +13 in the front is "doable" with some fender pull, negative camber and stretched tires but that 20x10.5 +13.... thats going to require massive amounts of negative camber or some new fender work like... wide body stuff.

what size tires are you planning on running?

I liked 20x9 +25 20x10.5 +38 as the most aggressive size with 235/35/20 and 275/30/20 tires with max negative camber the stock arms can take me with shaved and pulled fenders without looking too ridiculous...

20x10.5 +35 works but if my alignment is just a hair off, i run into rubbing while aired out..

I plan on getting control arms with adjustable ball joint also but just need to get this fitment on rims and tires out of the way I guess so that I can focus on the next step which is thr rubbing part unless I'm doing it backwards lol

Appreciate ya reaching out to me. I was getting offsets from two different places with their suggestions being totally different and me being new I didn't know which to go with. I must say that your ride is on point digging everything about it. Props breh
