Getting New shoes, will these tires fit

I went with the MRR GT1 Black with Polished lip (F) 20x8.5 & (R) 20x10 and Vredestein Sessesna 245-30-20; 285-25-20

My car is lowered quite a bit so I am somewhat worried about the rears. Right now I am on the 265-35-18 and my fender lip is a tad over the tire with about 1 finger gap. The new rear tires are not that much taller but they are wider.

While the tires are the optimal size for 20's... the all important question is what's the offset of the new wheels.
