Others can correct me if im wrong, but i DON"T think 20x10 +20 will be flush without fender mods. I tried 20x10 +25 in the rear (without mods) lowered on DF210 and it poked out.

20X10 +20 sounds like Mr.Mark's specs.. he did do some fender mods.. pulling.. etc. . You in San Diego?? what wheels you getting?

pulling required.

With 10 +20 you should be able to get away with a roll.

I'm running 10.5 +20 so I had to roll and pull.

Tire size is the key, but you definitely need to pull the front, shave and pull in the back. I'm also running 10.5 +20, i had it shaved, pulled and -3.9 camber

So 20x10+20 will be flush and i am fine with shaving or rolling my fenders.

My question now is how are the front gonna sit? According to the pic above to be right flush in the front it has to be 20x9+15? Someone please correct me if im wrong because, im gonna order my wheels later on today wanna make sure i get it all correct. Cuz changing my wheel specs all the way in Japan isnt a good thing

i have +20 with a 5mm spacer on a 9" wheel. i still have a few mm to be 'flush', somewhere around +10 to +12 should be spot for my taste. there are offset calculators out there to help you determine what your offset should be to get the look you want. check out vipstylecars.com - it's a good source for things like that.

Thanks for the info. I do know how to use the offset calculator but its hard when i have no base start to know where a certain offset sit for 20x9. So according to your info 20x9 +15 should do it?

I just wanna be right about flush dont wanna poke in the front cuz i dont wanna crack the fenders that come with my kit

Yea i got a few parts on ordered already so as long Japan dont be whack out on me i should be able to have everything by Pursuit 2.
