Default Will these rims work?

I am looking at some rims that come with 2 different offsets and wondering if they will work and which offset to go with.


Front 20x8.5 5x114.3 Offset 20/40
Rear 20x10 5x114.3 Offset 25/40

thanks!

The lowers offset wheels will require a good bit of work to fit.

A quick search on wheel fitment brings new to this thread

I have read that post. But it list 20x10 +42 as aggressive, so would +40 require much to make it fit.

I ran 20x10 + 38 offsets without drop and rears rubbed. Thanks to rolling my rear fenders, no problems at all. Bagged my car and still no problems. Sold rims and currently looking at 21's. Hope that helps.

In that case since you did try to search and read a few threads I'll try to help out instead of being a **** and saying search in all caps.

per the linked thread 20x10 ET42 is aggressive and would need some work (light fender rolling etc) for the rears. Taking YxUxMADDDD info into account that thread would be correct. The wheels you're looking at with an ET of 40 will be 2mm more aggressive than the wheels talked about in the thread, and 2mm less aggressive than YxUxMADDDD's set up. All and all I'd say the rears will work fine with a roll or camber.

The Fronts 20x8.5 ET20 will really aggressive but 20x8.5 et40 will be a little sunk in. The ET20s would probably require a pretty good pull to fit, or some camber. The ET40s I'd put spacers 5 or 10mm on to flush them out a little nicer.

Quick break down:
Front 20x8.5 5x114.3 Offset 20 - will be really aggressive
Front 20x8.5 5x114.3 Offset 40 - a little sunk in but would fit spacers for money fitment

Rear 20x10 5x114.3 Offset 25 - going to need camber or custom body work
Rear 20x10 5x114.3 Offset 40 - roll the fenders and these should fit
