pulling off an agressive setup

I am going to be buying concept one RS8 wheels 20x8.5+18 F 20x10+20 R
(i know they arent on the level of works or volks or anything but i think theyre a nice rim)
ANYWAY
im thinking 225/30/20 F and 245/30/20 R
im going to use 15mm spacers up front and 20mm out back
How does this setup sound?
I will also be dropped on tein basics
Thanks

1. Not wide enough to work
2. tire sizes are.... meh
3. Why not buy correct fitting wheels instead of buying wheels and then dropping another $300 in spacers?
4. Don't buy tein basics if you want to go aggressive, you will regret it and sell them.
5. Coupe or sedan?
6. Please ask this in the wheel and tire section

Well do you think I'd be able to be at least flush with this setup ? And only reason for not getting the correct fitting wheel is because these are what I want and those are the lowest offsets they come in, so I figured wheel spacers would fix that issue. This is for a coupe.

You're better off getting 20x10 all the way around, running 235 or 245/35 and running 25-30mm spacers.

They don't go very low, they have no dampening and they just aren't stiff enough for aggressive set ups.

You would be much better with a set of BC racing coils for like $800 shipped brand new.

Check out the vendors on this site, they're anywhere from $600-$800 used as well.
