wheel fitment suggestions
i was just wondering if these 20" rims are to aggressive and if it requires modding, just for future reference here is the size 20X8.5"/20X10" 4" REAR LIP
+35 & +40 OFFSET and of course i am planning on lowering the car but how low should i go to play it safe or do you think it is just a bad idea to go with that size and offset or should i go with 19" and if so what size and offset without rolling the fender and shaving it. i would like it to sit flush any opinion its most appreciated here.

well i just want it to sit close to the rear fenders w/o any shaving. because i really hate wheels that don't sit close and just want to close the gap between wheel and fenders. the recommended sizes are 245/35/20 and also 275/30/20. Now I have been really debating on 19's or 20's and i have read the thread about peoples opinions on the sizes on which they like the most. because i do want to lower the car as well but looking for certain springs and shocks for the setup. i have seen mostly everyone rocking the mrr gt1 but i just don't like the 4" lip in the back i think that is to much over kill for the back when you got a 2.5" in the front knock it back a 1/2" on the lip for the rear then that would be cool with me. im still window shopping for wheels of course just trying to narrow down to the final decision on what i like.

For Reference..
I'm lowered 2" in the rear, my 20x10 wheel has a 25mm offset.
In order for this to work I had to cut/shave my rear vendors, you will be fine on the front, try to stick with a 30 series though to prevent top of tire from rubbing on inner fender well lining up front, sometimes that lining sags and it slightly rubs against tire, it's safe to ride like this, but sounds bad lol.
When the suspension fully compresses in the back the rear tire completely tucks and there is like 1mm of room for the wheel to just tuck into the fender. I'm using a 255/30/20...
I bet with a 255 on the back and your 45mm offset you will not need shaving.
Your rear is 20x10 with 45mm offset and mine is 25mm offset.
45mm-25mm=20mm, 20mm = .78" and that's about the same size of the inner lip of the rear fender that I shaved off.
