Default Wheel offset question

Hey guys,

I know what you are thinking. Another "will these wheels fit" thread. I have used the search and used rominl's Wheel Fitment Guide. But I want to verify and hear your opinions if these wheels will fit.

The specs are...
20 x 8.5 235/35/20 front +19
20 x 10.5 285/30/20 rear +22

My GS is dropped on L-Tuned suspension. I have plans of changing to coilovers but not in the near future. The specs of the wheels seem really aggressive to me. Will I encounter any problems? Your thoughts?

TIA

Fronts 20X8.5, you'll need 225 roll, and a slight pull if you plan on tucking.
Readr 20X10.5 +22, roll or a cut, and a pull if you plan on tucking plus some camber.

If you run 225/30 up front with rolling the fenders flat and alil pull & 245 or 255/30 in the rear w shaving and camber I tried a similar offset before. It will look better dumped though

I would go to a 265 tire in the rear. the 235/30 will work in the front with the front fender rolled.
