Default Need advice on new wheel fitment.

Well Im sending the Rays off to be repaired so I had to find myself another set of wheels to rock for a couple months. I was about to get some stockers but came across this guy here locally selling a set so I jumped on them. I have never been a fan os but hey for the price I couldnt pass them up and .. I cant picture my sc rolling on stock wheels anyway.

a staggered set. 20x10+40 in the rear and 20x8.5+38 in the front. a lot less agressive fitment than I had before. but with the 1" spacer up front they run pretty flush. The rears went on no problem but the front I had to raise up a bit. It just dosent look right to me anymore. Do you guys think getting a tire with more stretch in front will let me drop it a bit more? or should I get a smaller spacer by 5-10mm? I got to get the front of it down a bit but I want to run the rim as flush as possible.

also a spacer for the rear?

I may end up just getting rid of them and make a few bucks. but... id rather figure it out and call it good till I get my other rims back.

Run a smaller tire up front for the stretch, camber it a lil and scale down the spacer a bit, it will be money
