I can't find a clear answer in my searches of the forum.

Will a 20x9 all around with a +30 offset (backspacing at 6.18) fit well?

MX73,

I wonder if both you and “Buddy3390” tires are rubbing do to an incorrect offset.

In researching this dilemma for my car, I have noticed all tire and wheel combinations for this vehicle seem to be pointing at a +45mm offset.

I liked the idea of filling in the wheel cavity a little with the 19s, but if the 245/40/19 rubs, then going to the 245/35/19 opens up the wheel cavity again. Not sure the 235/40/19 will solve the rubbing problem.

Hope “Buddy3390” chimes in at some point with his wheel offset, knowing that I think will then identify what will possibly work without rubbing.
Hi guys,
So I think the offset for these cars can rsnge from 30-45. Im honestly not sure whst offset mine was. The rubbing for me is not an issue since its just the stupid plastic liner on the inside. Front part. Bigger issue aftee doing a lot of research is getting the right size for your transmission. If you get a drastic change from your stock rims the ratios will be off. For example my car on stock 17's rotates the wheels I think at 790 revolutions per mile. These 19's do it at 763 or something. It may not seem like a lot but it can **** up your transmission. I didnt want to run size 35 tires since I live NY and these potholes really mess your rims up. I had bought these rims used off a car I know would fit the gs. So if theres a way for me to check the offset I'd be happy to look.

On an AWD vehicle, it would mess up the transmission. As long as all the tire size are the same, no mix and match, it shouldn't bother the transmission at all.

I have the awd. And all tires are the same. But sizes will matter somewhat. I was advised by my tire and rim guy that anything over 3.0% will really mess up yhe transmission. He even warned that I would have problems. On the low end I feel a small lag, but its not noticable to anyone but the driver. But you would want to keep those numbers as close to stock as possible as those are the numbers meant for the car and trans. But this model also came with 18's. So the 2% isnt that horrible.

Those will look nice. Not my cup of tea for the color, but as long as you like em. I'm running 19x8.5 with a 255x35. After I rolled my fenders I still get a little bit of rub when I turn or hit dips with 4 people in the car. Your gonna have to roll the fender or shave it. Both options have their downside. If you roll them wrong you run the risk of cracking your paint. If you shave them your making that quarter panel weaker. Whatever you choose, dont cheapout. I paid someone 200 bucks to roll my fenders. I wasnt worried about the paint as someone did a cheap paintjob on it and certain spots are cracking already, but the guy didnt take his time and you can see it in how the fenders are rolled unevenly in certain spots and it makes it look pretty crappy every time I look at the fenders. I rolled mine after the steel liner on the fender came off and cut into my wheel. I'll upload pics

See that little metal liner right there. It rubbed enough to where it knocked the screw off and the metal cut into my tire. This was after a 1 hr trip. I also forgot to mention that my car is stock height
