Those rear wheel wells are flared as hell. Whoever had that car before you must have ran a VERY aggressive wheel in the back.

Will make putting wheels on there much easier. I think 20" will do the trick.

Hope you're going to pick a very low offset for that pull

That's a crazy pull in the rear lol. Sunken battle ship right now. 20s won't necessarily do the trick without being wide or having a low offset. 18s or 19s would look fine unless your doing a full kit?

I can probably get my hands on some 20's. F: 20x8.5 Rear: 20x9.5 offset (40) is not that deep but I can get them for a good price.
