20x9.0 ..bad fit?

So I'm looking into buying 20x9, 245/30/20 rims with tires.
The offset isn't revealed.. would that rub/would I need to roll fenders?

I want to make sure of fitment before purchasing..

Find out the offset first Brian, mostly depends on that. We have people running 9's in the front and 10's in the back. BUT you better drop it after the 20s go on! haha

245/30/20..the 245 should be fine but 30's kinda thin

I'm pretty sure that's in the safe zone. Lets see if anyone else chimes in.

Which wheels are you deciding on anyways?

Not to hijack the thread, but I am looking at a similar setup. 20x9.0 with 245/35-20 tires and ET35. What are my chances? This is for a 6MT. Thanks!

Lol well while were at it Im about to pick up a set of 20's myself, but was thinking 20x.9.0 also. Isnt 35 too low of an offset? Was thinking about going with 38.

The general consensus seems to be that 20x9 shouldn't be a problem; don't know about 6MT's though as they have different brakes? (someone confirm that). Usually 35-45 offset is playing it safe.. might wanna reconsider rims with 35 and under offsets.

+35 for a 20" wheel (9 wide) fender rolling is a must

With a 35 offset, your wheel will be extending outwards by 23mm from your factory wheel setup (17x8 45et).
