Default tire size and offset help

What size tires and offset would work best for
a 99gs 400

I will have 20 x 8.5 front
and 20 x 10 back

The know that offset will be important as I am moving f
from a '19 wheel to a '20 wheel.
The car will be lowered using Tein coilovers.
Thanks for your help

if you are on 19, yes, no problem. if you are on 20s, if you lower it to 1/2 finger gap or no finger gap, you will rub the top of the front fender

well it's not about offset anymore, it's about the out of spec wheels setup. check with synergy and jawnthen if you want, they have that issue, and as long as you have 20s with low enough drop, you will get that
