Noobie Needs Help! Coilover And Wheel Questions!

Hey guys, im a noobie and I have a stock 05 OB 6mt coupe and its stock and im about to do coilovers and new 20's, or 19's if needed. This brings me to my questions: im looking at 20" Sevas Staggered wheels and Function and Form coilovers. My question is will these rims fit dropped low? will i need to roll the fenders? anybody know what offset and wheel size would work w/o modification of fenders?

Pardon my noobieness and btw, YES, I HAVE used search lol.

still need to know what size tires you are planning on running. That rear offset also looks wrong, it should be more in the 20's, do they offer another offset? If you are worried about rubbing, I would run 245/30/20 and 275/30/20

the front offset is 'acceptable' but that rear offset will look horrid. it's going to be so tucked....

Its people's misguided rationalizations for running 20's, I personally think it looks retarded. Definitely stick to 19's if you are worried about poor road conditions, they still look good on the G and are a good compromise between performance, looks, and ride quality, run 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 or 255/35/19 and 285/35/19

Ya idk bc I went on sevas website and it only says 25mm and 40mm, BUT maybe it can be 25mm for BOTH front and rear, not 25 and 40 together, but im not sure. Lets say it was 25mm f&r, would that be more suitable? and im planning on getting 245/30 and 275/30 front and rear btw
