So 10.5 will work with the right offsets.
Vossens are 47 I believe.
I guess we're looking at something like 50-55 to work without needing to cut or bend fenders?

No dis to Vossens. I know lots of people rock them but lots of people sell them too. I am just wondering why.

The reason I had to cut was cause I added a spacer to get flush and Im still running a 285/25 on the rear cause I don t want to stretch a tire. I have Vredestines however and they have a rounder sidewall. Im at +34 and + 22

for 10.5, if you want absolutely zero work done, keep it around 50 and you are good to go.

i have to double check again, but i believe for 20x10.5, vossen offset for the gs is +45

Yeah, +45. Add a 15mm spacer + some shaving & tire stretching = perfection. lol
