need to know offsets, but barring anything nutso 20x9 should fit just fine.

some things to provide us with:

-offsets, front and rear
-EDIT: looks like the site says staggered 20x9 an 20x10.5. You'll need to be careful in the rear. I'd say running a 275 or 285 tire will fit if you're not dropped. if the car in your avatar is yours, you're gonna need some serious fender mods and a tire stretch to fit a 20x10.5 in the rear.
-tire sizes you plan on running
-and what (or if) you are dropped on.

Well I was thinking 20x9.0 all around, also my car is not that drop and i was thinking on running on 275.

Just remember the picture your looking at is a 20x10.5 wheel with that lip size. I would check to see if they have 20x8.5 and 20x10 for the rear and you should have no problems aslong as you go with some conservative offsets.

275s on 9s might be a tad much...i believe.
245s may be your better bet...or even something else in the middle

Axis wheels...someone have mouthwash?

no no, you have to read their website a little more closely...it's really badly worded but they are all staggered sets, thats why the 20x10.5 are 50 more than the 20x9. Theres a paragraph above the size/pricing chart that poorly demonstrates the point they were trying to get across.

you can do 9 in the front and 10.5 in the rear with 245 up front and 275 in the rear as long as you go with conservative offsets since you say your car isn't dropped that much. 9 all around with 245s all around will look kind of weird, the 2gs is one of the cars that looks excellent with staggered rims, and almost foolish without.
