Default Noob Rim Question!

OK JUST BOUGHT AN 99 LEXUS GS400 BLK.. WAS GOING TO PUT ON BLK 20'S. i was told when i bought the car it had h&r springs on it cause it sits kind of low ... anyways i tried to put on 20X9 rims and the back stuck out aloottt .. looked wierd.. will 20X8.5 be good all around or will it look stupid same size all around ? and with spring in there can i use /35/ or must i use /30/ tires because he told me 35 would rub ..anyways anyone with h&R spring and 20's what would be a good rim/tire combo size that fits perfect..

Check in the suspension section. Offset is definately the key. I have 20x8.5 with a +42 offset and my car is pretty low and no rubby rubby

yes, offset is correct. Also keep in mind, higher offset will put them closer in, while lower, or negative offset will stick them out further.
