Default need help with rim,tire sizing

hey fellow members I've got a question that i hope ya'll can help me out with. I'm looking into buying a members set of wheels here and i need some help. First off they're lowenhart br5's, the fronts are 20x9 with a 37 offset, and the rear's are 20x10 with a 43 offset. The wheels were on his 3rd gen gs, I was wondering if I can run that same setup on my 2nd gen gs400, If I can what tire size's do I need (I live in Michigan) so I want a mild stretch not nothing that's crazy, we have some crazy potholes in some areas , the car will be lowered.. Anybody with rim and tire info will be very helpful, thanks

the wheels will fit no problem. i don't know how mild you mean by stretching, usually 245/275 are good setup for 20s. if you want, maybe 225 and 255? but given the road condition there, i will re-think

I would do 245/35 and 275/30, but you may need to go with maybe a 225/35 or 235/35 up front. I had rubbing issues with with my 20x9 et35 with 245/35 Falken FK452s. I ended up having to stretch a 225/30 on there and slightly roll my fenders.
