Default I Need Advice from you Wheel Gurus

Ok guys, I wanna do my homework and get this right.
I want to go with an aggressive fitment so i wanted to get some of your opinions. Would these specs work for our 3rd Gen GS, i have an 06 GS300.

Front:
Wheel Size 20x9
Offset +15mm or +35mm <-- which one do you suggest?

Rears:
Wheel Size 20x11
Offset +15mm <--- will this work for the rear??

Thanks guys!

More info please. How low are you and do you want to do fender mods? IMO if you want aggressive you will have to shave your fenders, especially with 11 wide in the rear.

I suggest to look over the wheel thread first. Get some ideas of what you like and dont like.

are u looking at the xxr 526 wheels? i pre-ordered the same wheels and really wanted that 20x11 in the rear but that +15 offset will make it stick out 2" further than the stock wheel. no way thats gonna work without some serious fender/camber mods. i'm going with 20x9 +35 all around.

do you want stretched tires? are you or have done any fender mods??

I know the 20x9 +35 will work with up front with no mods. I used to have the same springs and that offset rim up front.

The rear that is pretty aggressive but this boils down to fender mods and what you want to do. I would look at my pics in the wheel thread with the work rims on it. Those pics are with DF210 springs and you can see my rims and specs for everything. That should give you a good idea.

I'm running a 20x9 +12 in the front with shaved fenders and I'm slightly poked out at my height the 20x 11 +15 is going to require atleast a 1/2 inch fender pull to make work running a stretched tire. I am fully shaved I. My rear and the most aggressive 11 I could run would be a +32

^ I dont see 20x9 +12 working with just DF springs. The op would need to dump the car on coils for that fitment. With the current drop that 20x9+35 is actually perfect...its the rear thats going to be a PITA and to make it look right I just dont see it looking right.

Thanks for all your help guys!

^^ 10.5 +22going to require a fender pull I am shaved as far as possible in the rear and +24 will hit the fender when the suspension is compressed no matter what the ride height is. I will say this I am running .15 degrees of toe, I am going tommorrow to see if some of that can be reduced to grant me maybe the 1-3 mm necessary to run it at +24 and I will update as soon as the spacer is on. To the op Passnu is right though my drop is a good inch or more than the springs your running and im slightly poked front and back with my specs at your height you should be poked out more than me prolly 5-7mm past flush and you will definitely need to run stretched tires and roll/shave the fenders. you can run a 20x11 +35 and be about where I am with my 10.5
+29 (slightly more aggressive)
