What offset to go with???

Ok, I'm about to order some wheels but I'n not sure what offset's to go with?

Decided to go with 20's instead of 19's.

Quick photoshop I did of the wheels I'm ordering on my car


These are what I'm thinking about:
Wheels
front: 20x8.5 +30
rear: 20x10 +35

Tires
front: 235-30-20
back: 275-30-20

Do you all think I may have issues with this set up? What do you recommend on tire size? Thanks for the help!

My car when I test fitted some Work wheels:
Work Euroline S2H
19x9 + 26 225/35
19x10 +26 265/30

Nice choice in wheels ...

Front tires should be 245/35 unless you like the stretched look. Most people go with a +35 offset in front using 8.5 wheels. 35 series will retain proper OD.

Tires are good in the back, but the +35mm offset is not enough. +40 will work if you do not use a camber kit, but I would consider may be even a +43 to +45.

The suggestions are assuming you want to stay under the fenders. Reducing offset will push them out further.

We should soon know what the rear offset should be with a camber kit installed.

You should also see what your wheel / tire guy has to say to guarantee a proper fit.

WOW. I have been trying to look at your pictures from the other threads but now i finally seen it i think that offset you HAD is wayyyyyyyyy too aggressive. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Good idea on changing those wheels. like terry says. 35 front and 40 or 45 rear should be good. I think i am going to go 35f and 40 r too. soo right now the only problem is finding the right rims. g/l

Thanks Terry. Your help is always appreciated. I just told Jline how I wanted the wheels to be flush with the fender and they will give me the proper custom offsets to guarantee no rubbing. I just ordered the wheels so its going to be a 4-5 weeks wait.

For tires, I'm going to go with
front: 245 35 20
rear: 275 30 20
