Tire guys - I need some advice
I researched the wheel fitment pretty extensively, but still need some help on which tires would fit best for..............
20x8.5 Front, 20x9.5 Rear
Offset 20mm Front , 25mm Rear
Lip Size 2.5" Front, 3" Rear
Hub bore size 73.1 mm
Rolling fenders is not a problem and I assume I will need to. Coilovers going on eventually.
I needs some numbers suggested for the section width and sidewall aspect ratio. T.I.A.

anyone has ran 17x7.5 all around with spacers?
i have some extra rims 17x7.5 +34 offset but 7.5 is just too skinny of a wheel for the sc, i dont like the sunken look but wondering if anyone has pulled this of with spacers? any pics?

I've really got my eyes on these and any advice would be great. I wasn't thinking about 20's, but I like these wheels and others (Scott RU Not) pulled off 20's fine with a +36 offset.
And what tires?

I could still use some advice on tires, but I appreciate the response Kaydee.

I think I'm going for it!

I am looking at pictures of your ride from your garage link. You're right, both front and back look flush to me, even with those offsets.
Good job on fitment - they look great. You've been a real help. I am negotiating for those wheels as we speak!
I am probably over thinking this, I can always get some 5mm spacers if I don't like the way the rears sit.
Thanks again Kaydee!
