Rear wheel help

I have an 04 coupe and i have the opportunity to purchase some Vossen cv2s for relatively cheap. The only problem is that the rears are 20x10.5 +45. Would i be able to run those in the rear with such a high offset? any help is appreciated, thanks

There are ~ 25.4 mm per inch, so for every inch you gain over stock width should evenly push the wheel 1" from stock 33mm offset.

Add +12mm for your wheels offset and you get +37.4mm.

Now go out to your car and see if it can take about an inch and a half of growth out towards the fender. Is it too much? Consider "rolling" the fender to get it to fit. Google before you ask what that is .

Hope this helps.

That's a Sedan off set, and a weird one at that.

that all makes sense, thanks. I was planning on rolling my fenders anyway, but do you think it would clear the suspension?
