Wheels and offsets
Guys,

Would these offsets fit our C207?

20" x 9.5" ET 31 front and 20 x 11.5" ET 38 rear

Holy crap! Yeah, I can guarantee you'd have some rubbing issues with the stock suspension setup.

What's the ideal offsets for 20" for our cars? I'm planning on lowering the car about 1.25-1.5".

"Ideal" is subjective. However, the functional offset range will shrink as diameter goes up. Tire size and profile will also have an effect on offset range.

How you lower the car will make a difference, too. A coil-over upgrade will make more room for wheels than using an electronic lowering module.

Keep in mind that much of the info above is for stock non-lowered C207s.
