or

Front: 20x8.5 with +20 Rear: 20x10 with +23.

I think either setup listed above are very good setup w/o having to roll your fender. You probably can go little more aggressive but you may have to play around with your fender.

Do you have a spacer? if so, what size?
I am thinking of getting the same tire demensions for axis mod 7 wheels - 20x10 rear and 20x9 front.

Tire- 285/30/ZR20 BF Goodrich KDW

Front- 20X8.5X+20
Tire- 245/35/ZR20 BF Goodrich KDW

Good looking rim by Axis BTW.
Good Luck

Very nice! can't wait to get mine. You say yours are 10.5 rear? The people I'm buying from say they only make 10". I'm getting 10" rear and 9" front.
I'm getting the exact same tires as you for the front, but can't decide if I should go 275 or 285 in the rear. I'm not an expert, but it seems you would get a better ride by going with the 285 (less stretch). In terms of appearance, I'm not sure how much different the 275 and 285 would be. No shame about it here, I'm going for looks!
If anybody has opinions on what would "look" better on a 20x10 wheel, 275 or 285, and why, please chime in.

depends on whether you like a stretched look or squared off look. Some like having a tire stretched over the wheel. Ive got 285s and like it, but its pretty fat. I had to get my rear fenders cut, but Ive heard the KDW2s run a little wide.

I paid way less than that, if that's what you mean for cost of KDW2's.
Got those plus my TSW 20's for 3050 + tax.

Yeah they do run wide. I'm on stock springs (no drop) and only have about 1.25" - 1.5" space between top of fender opening to top of tire and I'm basically flush to the outside of the fenders. If I drop, probably will have to roll up the inner fender lip, I guess.
