Default To all you wheel size experts

Would fronts: 20x8.5 +20; rears: 20x10 +22 fit in any way shape or form? Such as lowering, running stretch tires, rolling the fender lip?

Just roll the fenders and you'll be fine.

They stick out like an inch and ride horribly. Remember I am also not lowered and I think the tires are too massive.

Todd, I will pm you the address of the body shop, they moved to a larger spot so I haven't been able to get it yet.

Well I have 19x10 +30 on the GS with 275/30 and I didnt need to roll the fenders. Plus I'm lowered 2 inches. Ive TEST fitted 20x10 +22 with 275/30 tire and it come right to the fender without sticking out. Frank also has a 20x10 +45 with the 275/30 and he has plenty of clearance.

Remember 1 inch = 25.4 mm

285/35/20! Thats much too big for our cars. I'm surprised your car even moves. Buy the right size and you will be fine.

Do I need to also lower the car to get more negative camber and also roll the fenders?
