Default what the proper size for me.....b4Ibuy

I have a 00 GS3, I have adjustable coilovers on it already. I am planning on buying 20's. need to know what size tire and what offset? My desired set up is 20x8.5 in front and 20x10 in rear. would 245x35x20 in front be good and 275x30x20 in back be good. The wheels that I want would have a dish(lip), need to know what offset? , or a better tire setup. thanks

Your tire setup is perfect, thats what most size people run, but as far as offset, I do not know, sorry.

My bro's running +44 front (19x9)
For the rear he's running +49 (19x10), but with 5mm spacer, making it more like +44.
Standard size tires (245/35 and 275/30), lowered 1.7/1.4, no rubbing.

The front 20x8.5 should be +31 to +40
The rear 20x10 should be +43 to +50 if you don't want to do fender mods.

I'd say the 'optimal' set-up would be

20x8.5 +31 (same relative to the fender as 20x9 +37): +35 looks good, too.

20x10 +43 (same relative to the fender as 20x9.5 +37)

The amount of lip will be determined by the type of wheel, and how it is made (one-piece versus three-piece, for example). For comparison, HRE does 2" front and 3" rear on this car.
