OMG YOU HAVE THE WAGON!!! I am a sucker for European wagons and I really really wish that it becomes more available in the US. Anyway, a sick car you have there (I might also be biased because I just LOVE wagons lol). I don't know if wagons have the same width and suspension geometry and fitment as the Sedans but 20x10 +38 for a sedan would probably be a little too aggressive and poke unless you stretch tire.
Above is at standard ride height. It usually sits on KW has set at the lowest on the rear. I’ll post more pictures when they’re refitted along with the K-Mac order that’s just arrived.

as far as I know they’re the same with regards to the rear end drivetrain.

thats interesting because your setup is about 4.5mm more aggressive than what I have. Maybe its because I have 305 wide tires and the tires bulge out of the lip of the rims.
I had to raise the fronts for the long drive, it usually sits lower
you'll still have about 8~12mm of clearance in the inside, you can go wider or more aggressive if you want XD
That's the plan , as the p4s 285 are still losing traction (but maybe because I only have like 300 mi on them). I had bookmarked your thread for reference, so at least we have some definitive numbers with offsets for each setup on the sedan. Yours only has the KW HAS and no K-MAC rear, correct?

yeap. The cambers are natural camber from lowering. The toe and the caster were aligned similarly to that of the factory spec (tweaked it a little bit to not roast the tires as much lol). I'm on stage 2 now and even the 305's with 220 treadwear tires don't dead hook (sadly). The fronts are usually at 25mm (i raise it up to 40mm for distance driving and autoX) and the rears are at 5mm for the spring perch. I am planning on getting drags/semi-slicks for the rears with 18-inch rims for quarter mile pulls later this summer.
I'm also running +48 offset in the rear on 9.5 x 20" wheels with 285 PS4S. Fitment is perfect. Don't think you could go more aggressive without it rubbing. Here is a pic with the KWs on the lowest setting. I have since raised it 10mm to make it more compliant as a daily driver.
The fronts in the photo are 8.5" x 20 +38 offset. They needed to be pushed out so I got a 15mm hub centric spacer which is slightly too aggressive for me. I think 10 - 12 mm would be ideal. I don't have a photo with the spacers. Just about to get the KMac kit fitted to the front. The negative camber is eating the tyres and low speed steering is terrible. Hope this helps.

Those are forgestar CF5V's. Since forgestar is a custom wheel manufacturer, they have the ability to customize each set for each application. Give them a shout and they'll be more than happy to work with you on your specific application.
Can someone help me.
ive found a set of alloys for sale
spec:
front 9j et +25
rear 10.5j et +35
will these fit my w205 C63s saloon ?
or will I need spacers of anything? Or if it’s just a plain old no. I’d like to stay away from modifying the car to accommodate these alloys.

front might poke out too much...rear definitely won't work.
