Default need offset and wheel color help

ok so i have the chance to get new wheels, i am just not sure what offsets to get, or which finish.. your help is appreciated..
i have rear shaved fenders now, i am not looking to have to pull my front or rear fenders.. i have no problem rolling the front but dont want to pull..
i was thinking of a 20x10 rear with a +24 off set and a 275/30/20
and a 20x9 +26 with a 245/35/20

also my roof is now black, so i was thinknig either brushed alum ceneter and a polished/chrome lip or brushed/polished ceneter and a black lip

here is the car


this is the wheel brushed center chrome lip


here is another wheel but brushed center black lip so you can get an idea

those offsets are almost the same as my 19s and i have no isses at all so you should be fine. i have a roll all round (about 3/4 flat up front and 1/2 flat up back)

i think the black lips would be cool for something different and to draw out the black/silver theme that your car has with the black roof..

wheel 2 is the wheel im pretty sure im getting.. wheel 1 is on my car now, and wheel 3 is just to show what a brushed center black lip looks like..
i really like the way your car looks, and i wanted to go for a vip style, but after getting a black roof and tte lip molded on im staying with the sporty theme..

360 is a great wheel just a little to much money for me (1600 per wheel starting) but the owner pretty much gave me a offer i cant turn down

yeah, pics here in my topic i made the other day. btw im running about -2 camber all round, a little sunk up front, would probably be better at -1 or so but my susp is a bit soft and the wheels rubbed up my driveway at full lock so i got them tucked in a little with the camber.

BBK has to do with wheel design and what disc they are. With mine no i cant, because i went with O-Disk all round which is the deepest dish/lowest clearance you can get. i have about half a finger gap to the front calipers.

the car looks good, your rear wheels look like they sit pretty flush...

I think brushed face, polished lip would look best

mate the +23 up front would be flusher than my +27 by the 4mm, but i went a bit softer just cause its a daily driver and i wanted to run less camber and be just about flush (though i am sort of running too much camber up front at -2, might get it reduced soon by a bit)

so yes up front anywhere from low 20s to mid/high 20s will work. it may scrub up driveways etc though under compression. obviously the lower 20s will be more flush as the picture above, though my +27 was quite flush when first mounted before i had camber increased to -2.

as for rear, 10.5 +29 is 1mm more offset than 10 +24 haha so its basically identical to mine anyway. the car you posted is just a bit lower than mine (probably cause its in Drive and moving).

if its your daily and you dont want to go too crazy then somewhere around mid 20s front and low 20s rear will be fine.
