ptd23, if you get into negative offsets with 20x9.5 and 20x10.5 setup you will need to roll your fenders nice and flat, perhaps a bit of a pull on them and run at least -2.x degrees of camber (if not more) to be able to daily drive, it will most likely rub on the inside of the fender going up driveways no matter what you do with it. I have this exact setup as does dre, takes work to get this rolling

it depends on how much work you are willing to do, how much rubbing and sacrifice of driveability you're okay with, how low you want to be overall, etc. ps, this is all assuming you have coilovers. I just recently got my set-up going and am still working out some kinks. Also, be sure that once you decide to go aggressive there are local resources (in NC im guessing) that have the knowledge and the capabilities of doing the required work, not everyone rolls fenders and running stretch tires isn't exactly "standard practice" around the country. just want to make sure you do all your homework, but in the end offset and aggressiveness is really up to you, but for aggressive do not go above +15 for the front or rear imho.
