Default 20mm Offset in rear for SC400???

I have searched and feel like I already have my answer, but have to be sure. I have found a very good deal on 19" wheels that are 19x8.5 with 235/35's (I know, need to go staggered). The front are 35mm so I know there is not an issue there, but any experts know if I am totally out of luck with the 20mm offset in rear? Thanks for the help.

Whats your definition of fit? You can bolt the wheel to the car, yes.
To make the 20mm offset rear wheel fit properly, you will need to roll your fenders. I doubt that you will need to pull them. I think slidersc is running a 25mm offset without pulling, you might need to run a stretched tire or run negative camber. If this is your daily driver, and are not experienced with running this kind of setup, be aware of the difference from oem 50mm offset.

I buying a new set of wheels soon.. front with 25mm offset, rear with 8mm offset. The body shop is going to pull my fenders while im getting my car painted.
