Default 20x10.5 rims fitment question

Hello everyone I just landed a sweet deal for 20x10.5 rims +30 offset with a 275/45 tires mounted my question is that the tears are touching the shocks it's clearing the calipers I also tried using a 20mm spacer that's still hasn't helped it clear. My question is should I go with a 1.5 spacer as much as I don't want to or go 265 tire with the 20mm spacer do it to fit. Not to knowledgable on rims too much it's a 2004 rx330 base model thx for the help

My 05 RX330 AWD was delivered with factory 18" rims, the recommended tire size is 235/55R18....
to which I follow for safe handling & better MPG.
No matter how sweet the deal was, especially when requiring modification, at your own risk.

I currently have 20x10.5 +15 rears and are wrapped with 275/40ZR20 BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S. I would need a 5mm spacer to clear the struts and the wheels would be fairly flush with the body... however...

I did not go that route because adding the spacer will reduce the treads on the studs to near nothing. So I also have a 20mm projectkics spacer (hubcentric) that have studs. It's poking out about 1/2 or so, and I'm planning to instal ARP extended studs in a couple weeks.

I would not recommend that wide of a wheel with that offset. The max offset would likely be +15 with a 5mm spacer. essentially putting the offset to +10. Sorry to say, but you're RX will likely look like one of those raised monster trucks with those wheels.

The front wheels can handle a higher offset, but max would be +45 at 9.5 width.
