So many factors come into play. Mainly width of the wheels and their offset. From there, the tire sizes also come into play!

Go see Chris / Jin at Kyoei in Tempe 480-921-2995. They did a slight rear fender role on my ISF to clear my 20x11's.

Very professional and reasonable pricing too.

Thanks, Jeff

I really dont know about the tire size yet guys but the wheels are 20" with 2.5" lip front and 3.5" lip rear, I really dont wanna do any modification to the car. How about if I go with the 19", will it fit without modifying the car? any suggestion on the tire also will help guys.

You can have either 19" or 20" wheels. The requirement of rear quarter panel shaving is dependent on the width of the rim and the offset.

Generally speaking, for 10" width, you can fit properly with +45 offset without any sort of modifications. Of course, if you want to go wider, then you'll have to adjust the offset accordingly.
