you rub with a stance like that? i can understand if you have heavy passengers in the back, the rear will drop more. the rears dont look too aggressive. maybe you can take a side pic to see if the rears are flush with the panel or sunken in a bit.
also, can i ask why are you set on these wheels? are you in a hurry to get a set? the best advice, imho i can offer, be patient when mod'ing-you'll save time and $$$ and it really will be all worth it in the end. all in all, GL
i know it's a different gen GS, but my 2GS rear is on 10s, tires are a tad tucked and i dont rub at all (my wheels are not flush w/the panel/fender).

I did not feel comfortable ordering $3-4k wheels on line without knowing the right size. I've been looking for perfect specs on 20s for 450h for almost 3 weeks now, and still could not come up with right numbers. Most of all setups on CL are not hybrids. My major concern was the combo of tanabe + difference in weight. I was trying to get some feedback from guys with similar setup, but did not get any... so, I went fishing by myself.
I went to 3 different wheel shops on Rt46 in NJ, but only one was reasonable. The guy showed me 20x10 that I fell in love with, but after the test for rubbing failed the same guy told me car sits too low NONE of 20s would fit. Well... I remembered one guy from CL with a hybrid, but he was on 19s, and I did not recall anybody on 20s. My next thought was coilovers, but that was dismissed very quickly. After few minutes full of tears I just popped the question about 19s, and here we go...
Hopefully someone will buy them, so I will get a chance to go shopping for wheels again... this time with some experience

After all, I have to tell you I really enjoy the ride comfort. I see very little difference from the stock tires. Maybe that's because tires were more expensive than rims... 
However, if 20s would feel the same way I would be pissed even more...

thats an odd place to rub in the rears. usually, i'd imagine rubbing to occur near the top center of the well 
sorry, i'm confused now. did you buy the wheels and they are 19s and rear offset is +40? in the side pic you just took, the wheel appears sunken into the well. my logic is this (and i could be wrong, mind you): as in my case whereas my rears are not flush with my fender, due to my fair amt of camber, when i go over uneven roads and what not, the wheel should camber in/out-result, more negative camber avoiding the rubbing issue in rear...so far, no rear rubbing for me
oh, isnt D2 (CL vendor) in your neck of the woods? call derrick there, he can help you out.

chopper, hope you can get some cool wheels soon. again, from my understand 450h are just the same, 20s shouldn't be a problem at all

The only other option on offset for these wheels is 20 (at least that's what other online reseller stated), so I assume mine are 40. I don't think 9.5+ with offset 20 would fit at all...
Anybody here with hybrid on 20s?
Thanks

no one is saying that you should get a +20 offset for 20x10.s... to fit a 10 u will probably have to be in the lower +40's range. nothing wrong with that. but koenigs? not to bash, but did u go to the dealership expecting to buy a 350 and they ended up selling u a 450h?
i have a bridge to sell u
