Default Offset question

Is there any way to fit 18x9.5 + 20 on the Is200?

I had 17x9 + 15 and they stuck out about 3in outside the fender
stretches some 215/45 and they rubbed the sidewall a bit

so you won't be able to drop the car as low with 18 and you're
probably gonna have to stretch the tires and roll the fender or
do some major fender mods with regular wheels
but you will probably be able to fit it
as long as the IS300 and IS200 have the same fitment specs

I was planning to run 235/40/18 on the rear and stretch 215/40/18 on the fronts.

The car is an Altezza
