Default *help* i need help with this one.

I FOUND A REALLY GOOD DEAL ON A SET OF EXE KonVex. THERE 20" MY QUESTION IS THE OFFSET. COULD SOMEONE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS. IM NOT SURE IF THE OFFSET WILL WORK. I DON'T WANT THE WHEELS STICK OUT PAST THE FENDERS. THEY ARE:

FRONT: 20x9.0 20 5x114.3

REAR:20x10.0 25 5x114.3

MY NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE WHAT SIZE TIRES TO RUN ON THE FRONT AND REAR? OR IF SOMEONE HAS THE SAME OFFSET ON THERE GS COULD YOU POST A PICTURE. THANKS

O im not sure. Im pretty new to this site. There a nice looking wheel. Even nicer the price on them. Ive been looking at them for a while. Im pretty sure you have to shave the fender. I just want to make sure they don't stick out past the fenders.

front are pretty aggressive. you'll need to shave the fronts right down and run a bit of stretch and some camber like -1 or more.

rears you'll need to run some camber like -2 or so plus some stretch and shave fenders down at least half way or so depending on how much camber and stretch

Definitely you have to shave or roll the fenders if you are running a bigger offset.
