Nice any pics? What are your offsets. That's the biggest concern for me

+15 are a little aggressive but not flush by any means. What were the widths of the 20's again? Other thing to consider is are you dropped? Fenders rolled? etc. etc.

Width front are 9 3.25 lip. Rear is 11 5.25 lip. And I am all stock. I'll probably have to order the +15 offset because that's the lowest they offer. Is there anyway I can make the offset more aggressive? What exactly is flush?

Could you briefly explain offsets? Like what exactly are they. Do they affect the concavity of the spokes?

Actually, +15 is decently flush all around, not hellaflush by any means but it sits pretty well. It's my offset on 20x9.5 and 20x10.5

Offset is the distance the wheel sits from the wheel hub. The higher the offset, the more sunk in the wheel will be in the wheel well. The lower the offset is, or if it is in the negatives, then the more it will stick out from the wheel well.

True enough. Thats kinda why I asked about the drop. Depends on how low he wants to go and how much camber.

I should have said its not hellaflush.

The higher the offset the more the spokes pop out towards the road?

higher number, the more the wheel will be tucked under the fenders.

the lower the number, the more the wheels comes out to the fenders.

The rims are offered in +15 and +35. Which one would be more flatter. I don't want the rims to be too poked in or out too much

I guess to help you with an answer is this , a few questions , are you on stock brakes or Brembo or any other kind ? , if you are stock height im assuming you will lower it eventually and fender lip rolling will be suggested , to make the wheels sit more flush with the fenders you can add spacers , i think +5 or zero offset is what most people will shoot for also depending how low you are .

I'm all stock. I might just get the +15 offset because it lower than the +35. So that it won't be as tucked in the fender as the +35. I may or may not roll my fenders. Gotta see if they will rub or not. What tire sizes would you guys recommend on the front and rear. The front are 20x9 with 3.25 lip. Rear is 20x11 with 5.25 lip.

It's going to rub in the rear 20x11, +15. Go ahead and roll those fenders.
