Alright folks. I’ve narrowed down and read the same 200 threads and still can’t really decide/make up my mind.

i had an accident and my wheels are done. Long story short it’s time to throw some 20s on to complete the look.

Front will stay at 9-9.5 30-38mm

rear should be fine with a 20x10.5 40-45mm as I had a 19x10.5 40 and I know it didn’t rub. My issue is the 11” wide, some rolled pulled and some didn’t. So can I run a 52-54mm without needing to modify my quarters? I assumed I would need to step down the aspect ratio from a 30 to a 25. Currently 275/30/19. Want to go 285-295/30/20 or should it be 285-295/25/20 i see a lot of didn’t rub didn’t modify and had to. Suspension is all adjustable but anything more than 2 camber degrees I’m not wanting to do; I destroyed my ad08s at 1 and some change in 7 months. Feel free to yell at me for overlooking a thread that has my answer, I’m going to go back and recheck but just want to make sure I got it right before buying any. Thanks CL

20's would be heavy and rough riding imo, 19's are the best choice, and 18" even more so if you're after weight and performance and ride quality. Titan7 and VS forged are great cheaper forged options. Rays Gramlights, Enkei, SSR, etc are all great.

Specs, I ran rear 19x10.5+45 with a 275, but it was stretched and had minor rubbing. I MUCH prefer my 19x9.5+45 with a 285/30 instead. Not even a roll was needed. IG @russiancarguy if you want pics, they are on the white and silver F.

Ferrada are heavy, and Velgens aren't as popular nowadays, not sure if they offer more than flow formed. My local buddy is selling his 3 piece 20" if you're interested.

id prefer to stay at 19. However with the budget I want to stay with for a daily setup, the desired specs aren’t readily made on hand or they’re on backorder/discontinued listings. And those rays that are trashed weren’t necessarily cheap. The driving here is brutal as far as decision making, training and laws. So if another local decides to break traffic laws it’s a good chance it won’t be a little accident. Okinawa for you. Weight isn’t a massive issue for daily driving. And I’m 275 on a 10.5 now, I run in the front in reverse, other wise everything was good to go. I’m really after a similar if not identical set up out of preference. And was just hoping to get a definitive approach to what offset range can work.

speaking of , what rubbed for you running the +45 offset? Was it wheel well, quarter skin side, or suspension side? Maybe I ought to stay +40-42, but the look and styling aspect of the ISF running 11” is awesome to me. I’ll look into some 9.5 set ups so thank you for that input 🤟🏼
