What were your final offsets on these wheels after spacers?
What size wheels?
I want to run===
20x8.5 +32 and a 20x10 +42
Any input on this? Or tire sizes?
Going to run lowering links as well

I ended up with offsets of 28+ in the rear running a 245 wide tire and a 24+ on the front running a 225 wide tire in front. I was running 1/2 " spacers all around. This was not by choice but because the rims I got at the time would not clear calipers. I had to do this to clear. Now I also had links. Links are great I able to do this because of them also.
Right know I'm running 42+ rear on275 wide tires and 38+on 245 wide tires on links. In my opinion this is a perfect set up.

Oh the only way u could so your set up on 32+ is with 225 wide tires and at that u will be rubbing. I would not do more than 38+ I'm at this and rub still a tiny bit. In the back you will be ok with 275 even 285 possibly hoping that calipers clear

Did anything rub on the prior setup with the spacers?

Yea it did I wasn't able to lower the car to the height I wanted. I had to manually hit the height adjust button to go into drive ways. In the road I was ok. It became a pain going into drive ways. It was still a nightmare
