Yet another wheel/tire question...

Hey everyone, looking for some quick advice on sizing.
I've got a set-up in mind with the tires being F: 255/35/20 R: 285/30/20 and the rims being F: 20x8.5 +35 and R: 20x10 +35 for my 2005 coupe.
Based on a tire calculator I used, the fronts will be 20mm closer to the suspension and 10mm closer to the fender, while the rears will be 22mm closer to the suspension and 18mm closer to the fender compared to the stock 19".
I don't have my car right now so I can't directly measure it. Will this require any mods? My car is not currently lowered. Thanks!

Seems a bit wider than normal. We typically run a 245/30-20 front and 275/30-20 rear with similar offsets and are okay.

Thanks for the info! In terms of getting the tires flush, would you typically need to add a spacer with that configuration?

Yes, your offsets will have the wheels sunken in. Most people shoot for around +10-15 to get the rims somewhat even with the fenders. Might even have to go lower for the 8.5" fronts to even out.
