Is this a good wheel and tire pack..?
20x8.5 w/245/35/20 with +44offset(front) and the rear would be 20x10 w/275/30/20 with a +48 offset. and yes I do have my GS lowered w/JIC SF-1's adjustable suspension. I also like that low look, comments on this tire and wheel setup?

I havent decided what type of tires yet? Im am considering Bridgestones, but would want something with a rounded sidewall, instead of a vertical. These wheels are new to the industry, they are forged! which is great, very light weight, they have applications for all sizes and widths. Getting the chrome ones. These wheels have a lip. To the question stated above by(Captain Bone) How do you know the wheels will clear the brake calipers?
P.S. Would it be better to have the tire size for the front be 225/35/20 rather than 245/30/20 or would the tire be too tight of fit wrapped around the 8.5 inch width of the rim? thanks for feedback.
The other thing is that with that suggested wheel tire package it states that the overall tire height for the front would be 26.8" where as the rear overall tire height would be 26.5" Im thinking that would look funny when looking at the profile of the car the rear wheels would be taller and than the front. It seems like I would rather have the front of the car have a lower overall tire height than the rear???? can anyone comment with this wheel tire package?? thanks

As for clearing the brake calipers...if the front wheel comes in "High Disk"....get them, or ask the seller. Sellers normally have the wheel profile/specs....they can tell exactly if it will clear.

Thanks for the feedback. Does everyone with a 20inch tire package have different overall tire heights for the front and rear. If so, how much of a difference, and can it be seen from the naked eye? Are the fenders on the GS the same height to ground for the both front and rear the same. Unlike other cars (BMW) have the rear fender lower than the front? thaks
