wheel fitment question
How well will these wheel sizes and tires fit my 05 sedan RWD? I wanna know before I purchase them. And I have sport suspension, no aftermarket yet.
Wheel Size: 20x9 (Front), 20x11 (Rear)
Bolt Pattern/Offset: 5x114.3/120 +15
(245/35/20) Front
(275/30/20) Rear
Thanks!

I don't think there is any way to fit those. The offset is for a coupe. With wheels that width, you would need offsets in the +45-55 range to fit under the fenders and then maybe need a fender roll. If I'm wrong, I know someone here will correct me.
I ran 8" wide 19" with a +30 all round and you couldn't get a pencil between the fender and the tire (245 40 19"). You are talking 9" in front (1/2" wider inside and out) so you would need to move the flange face out (+) from center and additional 3/8 to 1/2" , that would make the offset near 43-45 just to fit under the front wheels (I'm lowered 1")
In the back you want to run 11", well, do the math.
Here's a pic so you can see how close I was talking about, rember these ar 8" width with a +30 offset:

I'm running +45 now with the same width and I like it a bit better.

You'll have to run narrower tires and a good bit of camber to have any hope of getting them to fit. Really the offset it just too low. Check out the aggressive-stretched tire thread. For an idea of fitment.

You would need 20+mm spacers and then it wouldn't fit under the fenders.
allot of camber .. n really small tires..
best bet go with 40mm offset and work with spacers.
i dnt think 40mm offset isnt that bad
i just recently did mine
20x8.5 n 20x10 40mm
dropped wit teins basic.. not really sure how low

Personally sounds like these are too aggressive for you given that you aren't familiar with stretched/aggressive setups; I'd hate for you to get them and then have to sell them. You are gonna have to a lot of work to get those to fit out back (fender pull, add camber, elongate toe bolt holes, slam your car on coilovers, stretch tires, etc. etc.)

yeah thats what gdup35sedan told me. This is what he told me to do. Coilovers, which I'm in need of a new suspension anyways, 225/30/20 front tires and 255/30/20 rear tires, and SPC rear camber kit with toe bolts to get to -5 camber. So I am going to start on this and order coils this week. I really want to get these wheels on, and if you can help or give me any good advice bro i'd be very thankful.

Whatever Grant told you is correct. He's an OG in the fitment game and knows his stuff. Anything we can do to help let us know.
