No 20x9.5 option for the fronts? Will they fit, sure; will you need to finesse them to work well on your lower car, yep.

fyi, there's a "wil those wheels fit? start here" thread.

with that out of the way...

8.5 +32 shouldn't require fender modifications. most you'll have to do is heatgun the fender liner at certain spots to create more clearance.

10.5 +30 is considerable more aggressive, and will require fender modifications (i.e. rolled fenders).

225/30-20 + 245/30-20. you won't be able to go wider in the rear due to the width and offset of the rear wheels.
