I made a typo, but i figure the result is the same. He said +35 all the way around not +38. He said he can get the +48 if I wanted them, so that's what i'll do.

^ the stern site lists the +48 as an offset for that particular series of wheel (touring) but it does not specify the ST1 as being available in +48 on 20X9.5 but from what I recalled the seller on eBay did not have the ST1 in a +48 just +38...

I can't give you alink to the exact spot on the site, but if you click on the all design style in the stern section you'll see the st-1s and it shows all the offsets available for that rim.

Socal, you said you had +38 all around, and it's cutting it close, but it fits. Does the +38 give more of a lip than the +35? I want the best fit with the biggest lip

looks good ttrank, did you have to roll your fenders for that to fit? Also, what was your offset on your fronts when you had those rims(i know you're running 20x10's in the back these days)?

Those are the volks that are on my car right now (and for sale in the marketplace ). Those are 8.5" +39F and 9.5" +47 R.

Could've sworn you where running 10s in the back, maybe some previous rims you had...

I looked closer at the stern site and see now that the +35 are only offered in 5x112 bolt pattern, so I guess i'll have to go with +38, which should be fine, right?

that question has been answered already in my previous post, take a look at my 8.5 with +38 offset, you tell me if it will fit if it was 9.5 and size 265 width tires

a +38 on 9.5" in the rear is doable, but it will rub for sure and stick out on a stock suspension. Take a look at the ST-5, it has rears that will work:

OK. I was going to wait to ask this question but I would like to take this thread a step further. I am looking into getting a set of 20" DPE's and I recently purchased a Rotora 14" (355 mm) Front and Rear BBK. I want to go staggered with the DPE's but I have no clue what offset can get me 8.5 (Front) and 9.5 (Rear) and still allow room for these brakes. Please let me know your thoughts and opinions.

Thanks,
Mike

^your going to need to let DPE know about your BBK and it'll be up to them to see if they fit. Clearing calipers really has to do with the spoken design and very little with offset.

are you doing all of this on a sedan?!?! cant wait to see it! like previously stated, once you tell DPE that you need BBK fitment they'll get you offset's and pads for the wheels that will fit over the BBK. and they most likely will NOT give you the offsets of the wheels.
