the front is pretty aggressive, if you really want to fit, roll the fender and put on stretched tires

the rear is aggressive but it's ok, as long as you shave the fenders

Here is a pic of 20x8.5 +20 225/35r20 on my gs.It's almost the same with a 9 +27.No neg. camber has been added this is just from the drop of the car.It does not rub and I can turn lock to lock.Hope this helps.

Hmm this is gettin really confusing now

Someone on vipstylecars.com said

"it depends on the width of the wheel...but the rear is pretty weak...if the rim anywhere between 9-10" wide, you want to have the offset in low +20's. I don't remember what it should have for the front...I think it's somewhere near +25~30 for a 9" wide wheel"

that's because you were on vipstylecars.com

look at my gallery on pics of my 10.5 +41, which is same as 10 +35 with 285/30/20


keep in mind i have michelin tires that's why the tires are more meaty then others.

but you can see how close i am to the fender, and i shaved everything already. and imagine 15mm more sticking out, that's what you will get if you get 10 +20. it's your call. for sure you will have to run stretch tires, and the wheels will be past the fenders imho

bottom line is, what's your definition of fit. how far do you want to go on your car to make them fit? how stretch do you want to run your tires (which also means careful choice of tire brand and model)? what alignment settings you want to go with? do you want the wheel itself to get past the fender?

we have had discussions on these for way too long already, i don't think there is absolute answer for anyone. the above questions will determine everyone's preference already. all i can tell you is, i know my limit and with my setup i can still rub BOTH front and back if i hit bad deep. so personally i don't see myself running much more aggressive setup. what others do, they have their priorities

J stuff, here is a pic of mr. aristo GS. ( hope he doesn't mind me posting his pic )

specs are
fronts - 19x9 +24 (245/35-19)
rears - 19x10 +29 (275/30-19)

yours would be 3mm in. wich isn't much.

but in my opinion, this set looks awesome

Thanks for the detailed reply, i like the way yours is. If i decide to go further out perhaps i could get spacers in the future but right now that looks good to me.

here is a 10 +27 from the rear.Notice their still plenty of space left.If I were to run a 265 on the rear it would look better.Its a 245 on there now.
