Default Need help with 20s on my Rx

ok so I finally got my Tein springs. now I'm ready for some rims. I was really leaning toward 22's but decided against it because of ride and rubbing problems. so Im think of of some 20s :
Axis Milano 20x8.5
Niche F18 20x8.5
or maybe the L-Sportline M4 if i come up with enough money.
I think both are +35 offset. Would I have a problem fitting these? Rubbing problems since the springs will drop the RX 2.5 inches? Can I go with an even wider stance? Tire suggestions would be appreciated too. thanks!

i've got 20x8.5 lsportline model IV but i dont' remember the offset. +35 doesn't sound right, tho. i got them from wheelexperts.com so you might wanna ask them. i had them on michelin pilot all seasons 245/40/20 but then i switched to yokohama avs summer tires. the michelins are noisy compared to yokohamas. my ride is lowered 1.2" with eibach springs.

I am putting juice on my rx 300 but the problem is the rims. the first set was20 x 8.5 with 20 offset, but the outer edge would'nt allow me to tuck the rim. then went to 20x8 no change. so now i'll try a different offset.

from what ive read, if you get 20x8.5 you need at least +35 offset. that just eliminates most of the rims with the wide lips
