So my awesome SO decides to surprise me with new wheels for my LS, problem is she doesn't know too much about wheels but the ones she picked out were nice. wheels are 20x9 et38 front and 20x10.5 et27 rear, also both are 114.3. I appreciate what she went through to pick these up and wrap some meats on them, but are these even workable with adapters given the crazy offsets?
you should worry about the bolt pattern. you are correct, with adapters the wheels will stick out big time. as is the rears are quite aggressive already
My opinion is I'd just return them and start over. Seems like a ton of trouble only to end up with wheels that won't fit that well after all is said and done.
Sent off to be redrilled and sleeved. Had lots of feedback on reliable places and learned this was an easy switch to redrill. Will be just like the image below when all is said and done:
