Is this 20" wheel too wide?
Hi, I am looking at some 20" rep Brabus to replaced my wheels. here is the specs:

Diameter: 20"
Width: 10"
Offset: 35mm

Do you think it is too wide? I search the site and it seems like most have the 8.5" width with 35mm offset.

Thanks!!

mine is running 22 x 9 ET35, I'm thinking to add 5-10mm spacer to make the wheels flush with the fender. So 10" ET35 will be fine.
