I always wonder if you can actually do this with 20x11 15 offset in the front with full turn lock to lock without rubbing. The wheel I want to get they have 20x9 15 offset but thats kinda weak and probably need spacer to have the flush look in front. So maybe I was thinking getting a set of 4 of 20x11 15offset. Pictures would be helpful if you have the same specs or similar. Thanks

It will handle like a bag of ***** if you run 11" square.

Just get the 9 and run a 20mm spacer or 25mm spacer.

Why not buy them in the correct width and offset to begin with. There are zero benefits to running that wide of a front wheel.

I guess spacer in the front is the way to go then. I have 25mm spacer all around right now but the cars steering wheel does shake a lil bit when im on freeway so im trying to eliminate the use of spacer as much as possible

you do not need have that wide of a wheel to have big lips if that is what you are trying to do. I have 5" lips on my front wheels for a widebody, and even then I only run 10.5 fronts.

I guess technically you could run 11" front rims, but you would have to get your specs right or I am sure you would rub.

What kind of spacers? I would go that route, far better than going oversized up front just because.

Listen to Danny, he knows wheels better than most on this site.

I was going to do 20x9 in front but idk why but I always run into vibrating problem whenever I use spacers, or could it be the spacers themselves? Never had vibration problem before without spacers

Dude thats not a problem or would it give me headache if they have 9.5. They only have 20x9 and 20x11 both with 15 offset, its not custom wheels where i can just pick my own size lol

I run 19x10.5 up front, I would say 10" up front would be ideal unless you're going for poke & stretch. Trying to fit 11" inside the factory fenders is going to be very very tight.
