Recommendations on tires and size and spacers for rims?

I recently had my rims refinished and am thinking of getting spacers and new tires. The last 2 sets of tires I've had were Falken 452's 245/35/20 Fronts and 275/30/20 rears. Also planning on rolling my rear fenders. I'm planning on lowering my car a little bit more and having a more aggressive setup, but nothing super aggressive. Only problem is I do not know the offsets of my rims.. Fronts are 20 x 9 and Rears are 20 x 10. Thinking of possibly going with 225/35 F and 245/35 R but still not sure about spacers. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

You're going to have a hard time figuring it out with out knowing the offsets.

Try and get better photos of how they fit right now.

What kind of wheels are they?

these are the only other photos I could find

They're JLine 5RL3's

Should I even try stretch out the next set of tires? New to all of this and kinda hesitant to make a mistake on the size. Looking to change from the Falken 452's to the Hankook V12's.

wondering if 10 mm spacers for the front, and 15mm for the rear will work just by looking at pics? Also, should I go down to 225/35/20 tires for front and 245/35/20 for rears? Hankook V12's. thanks

^that'll give you a mild stretch and look alright.

I'd screw around with the spacers though, get some washers and put them on your studs and put the wheel back on and see if 15mm works for you then measure the washers.
