Everything will be fine, except 20x7.5 cuz they don't make 20's in 7.5 width.

If you want 275/30 in the rear, you'll need 20x9.5 at least. 20x8.5 is too narrow for 275's.

Sorry to keep aksing but after reading some other post some people mention the size of the lip on the wheel is this taken in to account when the offset is give or do have to deduct it from the offset

Thanks for any advice

Wheel width, offset and diameter are all factors of lip size.....diamter, only because depending on what brand of wheel you buy [custom or off the shelf] - Work, HRE, IForged, Kinesis [custom], or Enkei, Kruz, ADR, Axis [off the shelf]



OFFSET DEFINED

The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset can be one of three types.

Zero Offset
The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.

Positive
The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.

Negative
The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset.

If the offset of the wheel is not correct for the car, the handling can be adversely affected. When the width of the wheel changes, the offset also changes numerically. If the offset were to stay the same while you added width, the additional width would be split evenly between the inside and outside.
