It will work fine. If you want less headaches, go with 20x10 +35. That will only require a shave.

I'm saying 20x10 +35 will require less work than 20x10 +24. You can make it work, but you'll have to end up stretching the rear tire a bit.

You might be able to get away with a 265/30 but it depends on the tire also. Some are more rounded and the others are more squarish. Falken FK452s are nice to stretch.
