Marcus are you still rockin the spacers on the rear?
I thought I read Sun was rubbing on his bbs lms with a et36 10.5 on 295s... I don't want rubbing issues, although I have rolled the fenders already... Wonder if 35-36 would work. Damn double minded again

Above, it shows the wheel place indicating 20X10 ET 40 and 10.5 w/ ET38
As I understand offsets, the larger the number, the further IN the wheel is. So why in this example are they saying a 10.5 is good with a ET 38. I would think you would need to go with ET42.
Per the online calc, this above recommendation whould push the 10.5 wheel out by 8mm

20X8.5 ET 32 and 20X10 ET40
If you really wanted to go with a 10.5 in the rear, I'd go ET 42
There is a good offset calc on 1010tires, you can see the difference each offset will give.

I run 19 x 10.5 ET38 with 295 Toyos and have never had a rub even with five grown men in the car and slammed. Didn't need to flare either. It's a tight fit but there is still clearance just not enough for a 305.
