Those offsets won't mean much without the width, but knowing those offsets you probably would need fender work. Shave the rear and roll fronts. That rear tire is really large, more than 3% and is going to affect your speedometer as well as your tranny.

front will be combo of shave and roll, wheels are not that aggressive anyway plus your running 225. The rear might as well shave it. Oh just to let u know u might mess up your speedometer, because the 225 is not compatible for 255, some issue that I cant explain but u might as well google it first. Not sure but if u really like it go for it. Btw im running 235front 255rear

I would recommend 30 series tires cause i am currently on Vossen 20x9 front and 20x10.5 in the rear and im running 225/35/20 tires in the front and rear i just got 245/35 in the rear and i am pretty low all around im rubbing like crazy on the rear and even one of the members on here also recommended me to go with 30 series tires all the way round for a good clearance also i rolled all my fenders and look pretty good after it.
