Foose Wheels

Would Foose Speedsters 20x9.5 or 20x8.5 fit on a 05 sedan. I want something with a nice lip. Thanx for the help.

A taller wheel won't give you a bigger lip. Its based on the offset of the rim. I think (but I will leave to the more experienced folks on this site to verify and correct me) that the widest you can go in the front is an 8.5" with a +40mm offset.

The rear will fit up to a 10" with a +44mm offset?

I used to want the foose speedsters, they would be super nice in black, and yes they would fit the sedan, just get the right offset.

That offset will work with the 10" wheel in the back and up front nothing over 8.5"

Which offset??? The 10" wide wheel with a +44mm offset will NOT work. It will stick way out from the fender. Shoe horning a 10" wide wheel in the rear will require a much bigger offset, like +55mm. perry, check your facts before you dole out bad advice.

offset measurement in mm
effects the position of the wheel inside the wheel well of the car
