Thinking about new 20" J10 rims with 295/40/20

I'm thinking about upgrading to this size, now I run 265/45/20 and they look a bit narrowish to me. The question is can somebody post a pic with 20" rims with slightly more agressive offset , let's say around ET40 instead of 56. I want to see how is this gonna look.

20"x10" 57ET. With 285/45-20 tires. With 295 you might poke out a bit. With 47ET might too much outward also.

Very nice. Don't you have rubbing issues at full lock in sport, with this size the wheel diameter is quite bigger than the stock one.

When we were measuring the spacing to place order for wheel, 285 would not rub. 295 I think you can get away but I think you must stay within 50 to 57 offset

Why do you think with smaller offset than 50 it's gonna rub, anyway the tire even in your case is reaching and even protruding out of the wheel well, so if it is a bit more out it's not gonna rub more... or at least looks like this. I don't know if this can cause a technical problem for the suspension though.

Yes if you don't mind the wheels and tires poke out more it will be fine. I found when tires and wheels are sitting too far out, on highway create a lot of noise. Also a lot of rock chips on the door and rear bumper. With my set up its about 1cm away from the upper control arm. I was going with 295 tires but it's hard to find tire size with the brand I want with 295.
