20" Offset

I am looking to get some 20" wheels, most likely the 20" TE37. I am thinking about getting 20"x9.5" front and 20x10.5" in the rear. What is the best offset I should be looking for and do you think I would be ok with going with 20x11" in the rear? I may be getting lowered later with Tein Flex or D-specs.

+22 looks best IMO. Nice and flush with the fenders and works if you're lowered as well. You just have to roll the rear fenders.

I would try to get +12 or +15 if you like square tire fitment. If you like the buldged out look with tires too wide for the wheels then probably go with +22.

?!?!?

offset has absolutely nothing to do with the way the tire fits on the rim. 9.5/10.5 is 9.5/10.5.

are you kidding me? Tire size has everything to do with what offset you can run. If you run a 245 on a 9.5J you will be able to run a lower offset than if you put a 295 on that same 9.5J wheel.........The wider contact patch of the larger tire will mean less clearance from tires edge to inner fender lip and you would be forced to run a higher offset or work your fender more, the wider tire would also be more prone to sidewall flex and squirmy handling characteristics. Tire size has everything to do with offset choice when talking about flushness and fender clearance issues.........

ha, I read this title and imagined a 20 inch offset. That'd be pretty wild eh?
