Did you have to do anything special to make this offset work? What size tires you run

Wheels setup
to answer the questions. The offsets you can go with +22 front and +25 rear.
The front wheels hub will be a challenge a bit you will be off by 2mm +/- so you will need to buy extended lug studs however, in my case I went and did a conversion and went w/ studs / lug nuts
Seriously hate having to find the wheels.
In regards to the 2mm difference of the wheels you can either redrill or mount as is. 2mm works perfectly fine I've done it in the past and had no problem w/ my other bens before. drove and had it aligned perfect for 10 years. OR re-drill at a local shop SUPER easy to do since it's only 2mm.
fender roll is A MUST for the rear.
I hope this helps you guys and I must say I absolutely love them and apparently the guys at the gym did too snapping pics LOL

I have some nice 20 inch wheels running the popular 245/30/20 & 285/25/20 tire sizes. I currently have Pirelli pzero's with a load index of 90 in front 92 in back. Our stock tires have 93 in front & 97 out back. I keep getting blowouts and bumps in my front tires, is anyone else experiencing this??
The only companies that make the proper load indexed tires in this size are off brands like lexani & lionhart.
ANY SUGESTIONS?

Ams tune
Still a work in progress. Just basic mods for now like Flush mount hood emblem, CF front lip and rear trunk wing. Lowered with Star and The Wheels are 19" TSW Zolders. It is tuned also by AMS in chicago on the stock pulley
Clear corners are purchased I just have to toss them on... been lazy lol.
Pulley, HE, IC pump is in the near future. Sorry for the pic quality, they are just cell phone pics.

Great looking TSW wheels, I really like the Bathurst design.
Few questions:
Are you running the 32/39mm offset that TSW recommends for the w211?
Looks like they're 245/35/19 on the front tires, what's the rear tire width?
Also, what Pirelli's are those?
Thanks!
