Default Work Gnosis GS3 HELP

I am due to receive some wheels through Ravspec of the Work Gnosis GS3 wheels and had a question.

They keep assuring me that the setup they ordered for me will fit but I'm highly doubting it. I keep telling them the front needs to be R disc to clear the stock BBK but they say it should be fine. Can any of you confirm these specs are correct?

Front: 20x9 +35 offset A disc
Rear: 20x11 +52 offset A disc

Should be fine. If they are already on the way not much you can do anyway?

I think A disc is the standard for Work wheels, which would be similar to "mid" disc for a Volk wheel. If true, I think you're going to be fine with clearing your brakes. I know your fronts will fit no problem and I believe your rears will fit without rubbing due to the higher offsets, provided you're not running wider than a 285 rear tire. At worst you'll need a slight fender roll, but you may be able to avoid that too.

Well I just noticed everyone who was running the same offset and size were on R disc saying the other disc sizes will not clear our stock BBK. I just wanted to make sure before I attempt to install them this week that way I don't have to deal with the hassle of returning them and waiting another few months for a replacement to arrive.

Hey Murph, you think I will have any rubbing issues or fender modification required if I'm on Swift springs with the same tire setup as you on Hankook v12?

I think your rears will need to be rolled for sure.

yea I called Work USA this morning too and they said the same thing. I'm hoping they actually have test fitted them to make sure otherwise it's going to be one big mess mounting dismounting and shipping it back to them. Thanks though obby!
