also what suspension set up? when you guys ask about fitment questions, we need to know what suspension set up is or what you plan on doing with your suspension. 20x11 +0 would fit, if you were at stock height but it would look like ***. thats just a example.

20x11 +50 in a 10' is actually +38. .5' is 6mm on one side of the barrel.

Will I get a flush look with this setup?

If in the future I decide to drop the height by an inch or something will modifications be needed for the fenders?

What brand of ultra or max high performance summer tires do you recommend? So far I'm only looking at Yokohama Advan Sport.

Thanks for the help!
Get a more narrow tire in the back 265/30/20 or cut your fenders, I rubbed a lot with that same exact setup on the CV1s

245 is too big for 20's on our cars you have to run 215/35/20 on front, and on the 11 265/35 should be good

I was wonder if I will have any issues with these wheel fitments. I was looking to get 19x10 + 30 offset all around on my AWD. Any help would be appreciated.

^^ Yes, my main concern is with the front. I think I won't have too much issues with the rear. Can anyone else chime in on how it will fit in the front?

There is no way you'll fit a 10" wide wheel on the front, especially on an AWD - you're going to hit the steering knuckle. Sorry.

well if you gunna do staggered offsets, just do staggered wheels also, because itll look funny when you go to rotate.

^^ Okay. I think I have a firm idea of how the wheels would fit. Probably leaning towards staggered wheels at this point. Thanks again for the assistance.
