20x10 in Rear vs. 20x9.5....need opinions!!

need your help fellow G-riders, the rim I want to get for my Coupe does not make a 20x10 for the rear only 20x9.5. i'm wondering how much difference visually half an inch will make in the rear? they say with the naked eye you won't be able to tell. but what is your opinion? i really want the rear wheel to fill the wheel well up to the edge, will this still happen with a 20x9.5? also if any has pics of a 20x9.5 in rear, please post or send to me: gwhzz35@yahoo.com thanks guys!!!

If you think about it, the half inch difference is basically 1/4 inch on each side of the rim, difficult to tell by the naked eye and I think if you really love those rims, go for it!

A 9.5 will look good if you get the right offset. Are you going FI? If not 9.5s should look and perform good.

^^ like he said, what is important with any wheels, is to use the correct offset. Even if you used a 19x7 rim, if you used the correct offset it would be flush with your rear fender. 9.5 should look great, just make sure you get the right offset and I'm sure you'll be happy with your purchase.\
