What wheel width & offset did you get? I've done this before, 20x9 +38 with 255/35zr20. Worked fine.

On higher offsets, I've heard that people have had to grind the bolt that connects the upper A-arm to the suspension upright (you'll see this just above the tire). This is because the 255/35zr20 is a fair amount taller than the OE tires.

The wheel width is 20x8.5 and the offset is +38. tires are 255/35zr20.

You're okay.

A 255/35zr20 would be 'happier' on a 20x9, but 20x8.5 is within its design parameters. A 245/35zr20 sits perfectly on a 20x8.5.
