Default Any one with fat wheel in front?

I think i saw someone a while back with 20x10.5 in the front but cant find the thread now.

The reason I ask is because I there are 20x10.5 +50 front and back for sale at a VERY VERY good price and i would hate to pass it up. I read that the rears with 255/35 will be ok, but the fronts wont be.
It comes with 30mm spacers and when I used the wheel calculator it says that inner clearance is 37mm LESS and that out position should extend an extra 27mm.
Idk what that means but a friend told me with 30mm spacers, it will be perfect. but my definition of perfect is not sticking out past the fender. lol so idk if its the same "perfect"

But I want to know if it will hit anything or stick out a lot lot. Or how bad the rub is going to be, if i can even turn the wheel at full lock. fronts are 225/35

My car isnt lowered and i dont plan to lower it, if it helps or not (and yes i know people think its ugly with no lower but i think it looks ok~)

Also the person selling doesnt have time for me to test fit so i really need help.

Don't do it, ESPECIALLY when you don't plan on lowering it or doing major major fender mods. Also, 225 on 10.5, it shouldn't fit or its EXTREMELY stretched. PASS!

What's the benefit of a 10inch rim up front. Even high performance sports cars only use a 8.5 -9.5 rims. My h2 has 11inch wide rims on it and it's huge I couldn't imagine a isx50 with 10inch rims. I would like to see a pick if someone can get a hold of one

The benefit on a RWD drive is having wide wheels in the rear. Helps put the power down on the road
