Quick! Need immediate help!

I ordered a set of wheels, and recieved the wrong ones today...and I'm trying to get things fixed.

This is what I wanted
18x8 TSW mondello
18x9 TSW mondello.......both with 20 offsets.

Now the guy is telling me that they have the rear offsets ordered to be 35 and that 20 would be too aggressive and may have to roll the fender (discount tire direct). Wouldn't it be stupid to have 20 front, 35 back on the coupe? I was thinking 20 front and back, with 225 tires in front and 245 in back.

Yes it will look funny, +20 in the rear should be fine on a 9" wheel running a 245, so tell them to switch it back

Thanks for the reply. I had the order switched back as I had requested.

It's just frustrating after doing your homework (in my case researching other people's setups and using the tire/wheel calculator) to all of a sudden recieve the wrong shipment and a supposed "expert" all of a sudden start giving you the opposite advice.....
