the +45 looks like a perfect fit. i'm still having issues finding the right offset for 20x9.5 with my drop and no rolling fenders

you shouldn't have any rubbing issues at all with a 275/30/20.

You are right those are more flush than mine. Since the wheel is a 10" my 275/30 is stretched a little more and the wheel sits out a little more.

I am going to take some pics tomorrow or this weekend and start a new thread.
great...can't wait to see it. btw, did you weigh them? or feel the difference now?

I have 245/40/19 at all four corners for now. I guess I will go with a 19 x 9.5 in the rear for the stagger that I would like. The reason I had thoughts of the 20" on the rear is I have seen some other cars that have a setup close to that (most are performance minded sports cars not sedans). Just an idea that I thought a would throw out. I will just keep my 19 x 8.5 fronts with 245/40/19 and go with a 19 x 9.5 in the rewar with a 275/?/19. Any suggestions one offsets and tire size for the 19 x 9.5?

If you don't want to roll your rear fenders go with what Chico has +45.

If you want to roll your fenders you can do up to ~+35-38. Or you can get 10" as low as +40.

If you keep your 245/40's in the front go with a 275/35 in the rear.
245/40 = 26.7"
275/35 = 26.6"

The other option is to go down to 245/35 and 275/30.
245/35 = 25.8"
275/30 = 25.5"


FYI:
Right now mine are 26.8" F and 26.5" R and I don't have any VDC problems so you can go at least 1.2% off and still be ok.

Not necessarily, I switched from Bridgestone S03s to Nitto Neo Gens. This never happened with the equivalent sized Bridgestones. I am waiting for new fronts, 245/45/19. I don't like the idea of thin tires on a $650 rim.

As long as the ratio is the same it's ok. Otherwise the VDC will go into limp mode.

I'm very interested in seeing this as well. I've had some 10 inch wide 19's on my G with an offset of 45, before I lowered my car and I couldn't see how just rolling the fenders would get them to tuck in so I bought a new set of wheels. If you prove me wrong I'll be so pissed with myself, lol.

They don't rub.

I had 20x10 +43 and now I have 20x10 +45. Neither rub.

My camera battery was dead but I'll get some quick pics ASAP.

Not to bother you ttrank, but I'd love to see those pics when you get a chance. I'm sorry if it's in this thread, but when you had the 20x10 +43 what tire size were you using? What tire size are using on the +45?

I don't have +45 they are +40 now and were +43. I used the same size tire on both 275/30/20 Nitto 555. I now have Falken FK452's on the front and will change to those on the rear as soon as the 555's are gone.

It was raining all weekend here but I will give her a bath and try to take some tonight before the sun goes down.

I think it looks more like the tire is just under the fender but it tucks. My car has a 1.2/1.0 drop (but I think it's more). The stick out just a tiny bit more than my old wheels here:
