Default custom rims & tires

Does anyone know the wheel offset recommended for 20" x 8.5" rims for 2002 RX300. The tires will be 245x45x20". I tried on a set of 20" x 8.5" rims with 275x45x20" unknown offset, but it rubbed against the inner fender wall and struts.

It should be between 32 and 35 offset. How are your rims? Do they have a deep lip? It actually depends on the rim itself as well.

Default Custom rims

Thanks guys, I found a set of chrome Zinik rims (Mazzotti) 20"x9" mounted on 275x40x20 Hankook tires with 35mm offset, it works fine with no clearance issues at all.
