Default should i go with 20s

there is a gu here in houston who want t trade some staggered 20s with a10" rear for my ray forged 19 plus 5 bills!

now will i have to shave the fender in the rear to make them fit b/c of the 10" rear and i plan on dropping it but not to tuck or be slammed though.

id like staggered 18s with a 10" in the rear but this seems like a decent deal!

yea yea i know save and buy it the 1st time but im sure u guys have switched rims more then once !!!

It is not the width of the wheel that will pose a problem, but rather the offset. I am running 20x10 comfortably with 275/30 tires and lowered on coilovers. I think my offset is 40mm if I remember correctly.

Run the staggered 20's ! you can lower it 2-2.5" all the way around and it still wont rub ! 20x8.5 front wheels with a 38-40mm offset and 20x10 rear with a 38-45mm offset ! 18's and 19's look kinda small for such a over mid sized car !

Please do provide your offsets on those wheels. Any advice given without considering offsets becomes meaningless.

Members on this forum have been running 20 x 10 on 285's for years with ZERO rub, by just shaving or rolling.

You could run 20 x 11 on 305 tires with only shaved fenders and no rubbing if you pick the right offset.

Once we know the offset people can give you the correct recommendations.

FYI... All the MRR wheels are cast, not fogred. If the rears came off a G35 coupe, it will tons of work to make them fit. If it's off a G35 sedan, you'll have better luck making them fit. GL on the trade.
