Not with the 40 offset. You can run it, but the wheels will stick out pretty far in the rear and you will rub lke crazy.

I only know of 2-3 people running a 10" rear on the sedan, that should tell you something.

You can have a 20x10 in the rear but you need +45 offset with a 275/30/20 tire, so the end result rim+tire will be as if you had a 9.5, but the tire will have a bit a of the stretch look.

It won't work without HEAVY modification to your fenders, and even then you'll have problems. Plus it will not look right and clean IMHO. I wouldn't do it.

You will hit the inner fender with people in the back seat. You should clear it with a minor roll. It's cutting it real close but it should work. FYI, if you lower it, the negative camber will help you clear the fenders also.

I have 20x9.5 +45 w/ 275/30/20 dropped on Eibach and clear the inner fenders with people in the back seat by about 1/8" or less. It's so close it freaks me out sometimes.
