Looking to fit 20x11 rear wheels w/o rubbing. Thoughts?
Time for some new wheels and thinking about going 20x11 rear rotary flow forged wheels for the extra concavity along with 9.5" or maybe even 10" wide front wheels. My car is currently sitting on RSR SuperDown springs which is about 2" drop all around. Will also need to adjust accordingly with proper tire size + offset to clear.
Has anyone pulled off running these size spec wheels: 20x9.5 or 20x10 (F) + 20x11 (R) on their 4GS?
If so, what offset + tire size for both front & rear wheels is ideal with these specs as flush or slight poke as possible w/o rubbing?

Reason I wanted to push for 11 rear is incase I end up picking up an RCF or a GSF after this car, it would be an easy swap.
Not looking forward to go through the trouble of stretching the rear fenders. What tire size and offset did you have with the 10.5 rears?
Might just be safe to go 255/30/20 or 245/30/20(f) & 275/30/20(r) rubber with 20x9(f) & 20x10.5(r) wheels that has preferably about +35(f) & +45(r) offset

What was your offset and tire dimension when you rubbed a bit with the 10.5 rear? I think it may be ideal to run 10.5 in the back.

I didn't specify the wheel offset for the 20s since I don't have the wheels yet, and can always specify the wheel manufacturer to dial in to a certain offset spec that would work to clear 11s.

I see you were running bit aggressive +38 offset in the 10.5 rear; +45 offset or higher would have helped.
That's right about the ideal spec. Only I may have to spec the front wheel offset with +35 offset instead and 255/30 tires or just go with 245/35 tires like you did.
Worse case scenario I may just have to get the rear fenders rolled also if I rub in the rear with 10.5 +45 offset(4mm closer to rear strut *according to wheeltheyfit.com vs OEM*)
Unless a more sunked in +48 offset(7mm closer to rear strut) in the rear will do the trick to not rub on bumps/passengers w/o having to roll the fenders.
I used these numbers recommended by Vossen when purchasing and guys here on the forum, I was still rubbing in rear on bumps or people on the back. Ended up rolling fender to fix it. Also, mine is dropped on Tanabe

On my lowered HS250h that’s fwd I run 245/35/19 19x9.5 +22 squared and the wheels definitely poke out and barely clears.
Post pics of the aggressive 19” wheel setup on the car if you can!
