will it fit? 10.5+30/12+27

Considering a new set of wheels, my current setup is 20x9+15/20x10+5.

in trying to make my next setup only slightly more flush without, I came up with 20x10.5 +30 front and 20x12 +27 rear which would effectively make the front stick out an extra 4mm and the rear another 3.

now my question is not if I will have rubbing issues on the outside, I know I will be fine and may even get small spacers, I just want to be sure theres enough room on the INSIDE of the wheel well to fit 12 inch rears with these offsets and 10.5 up front.

also, a reccomended tire size would be appreciated. Im looking to have some stretch but not tooooo much.

thanks.

Yeah outside you;re fine for sure, but i dont think thats aggressive enough to not have rubbing issues on the inside. Are you planning to stretch at all, also it'd be easier to fit with 19's too!

NVM didn't read all the way that you only want a slight stretch....you dont wanna go more aggressive????

I'd suggest something in the high teens for the front and about +20 for the rear

Id rather stick with 20's if possible, especially since the wheels have a step lip that already make the face look smaller. I COULD go with a 9 front 10.5 rear but the problem there is the 9 front has a smaller lip..

the wheels im considering are these ones:
https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-...-purchase.html

The lip size on the 9 is 1.5 vs 3.75 on the 10.5/12. the 12 doesnt have a larger lip than the 10.5 so technically I could go 10.5 all around it would look the same, but I would feel silly not having a staggered setup like im used to.

and yes I would like to stretch but I dont know the first thing about how to pick a tire setup for stretched tires..

blah i literaly must of pmed you AS you were typing this response lol.

1 thing i forgot to mention is that if i went 9/10.5 I would have to get them in the lowest offset offered and still would need spacers....

would you go 10.5/12 or 9/10.5 and sacrifice the front lip? or the awkward 10.5/10.5 lolz

also judging by what he said in his thread I dont think the wheels are made yet he said production starts at the end of the month... so I would be surprised if he had a set to test fit? but that would be extremely clutch
