Default Help on getting my new set of wheels

I'm thinking on buying a new set of ESM-004-SL20 size 20 x 10 and 20 x 8.5 the offset is 35 for the front and 40 for the rear the bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3 and the center bore is 73.1. I'm going to use 245 35 20 front and 275 30 20 rear . Would I have any problems with the wheels size and specs any opinions welcome this is my 4th set of wheels on my gs . Thanks

good ? I would worry about the rub either in or out(fender side). Are you replacing suspension too? Last but not least make sure you have the right lug nuts to with those rims. assuming you will also use hub centric rings for correct fitment. I'm gonna do 18's myself Stagged.

Even on stock suspension it will rub on turns or when you have people in your vehicle. You will have to shave your inner fender lining which is simple. I personally would lower the vehicle. It won't look 4x4 plus it'll set off your wheels x100.

You aren't modding the fender itself. It's a fender trim on the inner fender that gets shaved and taken off. You nor no one would even know.

Should fit fine but I recommend 245/30R20 for the front tire size. 245/35 is slighty taller than what you should be running.

hey jc11, I was talking about lugs cause you can mess up your rim if you use the wrong lug nuts should look at rim and seating for lugs. here is an example.
