need help with the offset...

I'm looking to purchase Verde Axis wheels for mine, 20x9 n 20x10.5. Will have to roll fenders for sure.

I've seen some ppl running +32 front n +40 something in rear, but those were on AMGs. I found a set of wheels with offset of +32 n +42. I don't want them to stick out. Any insights would be helpful! thanks.

and my tire choice would be like 245/35/20 n 275/30/20

You seriously want to run 20" inch wheels? Your ride quality will suffer tremendously.

yeahhh kinda it will be harsher ride but I'm wanting to go for 10 or 10.5 in rear, 19s dont come with that set up. And they are more concave than 19s and it will fill the gap.

It's been months deciding which wheels i want lol

I'm honestly still considering if 19s or 20s, wheels i looked for, the shop giving me 19s for $760 and 20s for 800( more discount on 20s said he wana take pics and post on their site, not for 19s.)

i might buy em somewhere else online, but just wanna hear about the offsets from any veterans here of what they are running...ride comfort will be compromised with 20s, iknw but i think it would look better on 20s........

Well, to each their own.

I own my car to drive it, rather than looking at it.
