20" Wheel Help!
I just purchased 20x8.5 20x10 wheels and i want to make sure that Im clear with no rubbing. Can anyone let me know if i will be fine with no rubbing? Also I have Pirelli P Zero 245/35/20 all around. The wheels are currently at the shop powder coating the lip white. BUT PLEASE! If anyone knows let me know asap. Also with information on a fender roll please help!

Thanks Alot,
Shai

245 all around will be to much stretch on the back since you have 10. You should at least use wider tire like 265, even 255 will be to stretch.

Offset like many other mentioned are very important.
