Will they fit?!

I have decided to go with the following setup for my car and will also be running Tein SA just to eliminate the wheel gap (1 finger gap).

Front: 20x9 ET32 245/35/20 or 255/35/20
Rear: 20x10.5 ET40 285/30/20 or 295/30/20

I'm certain the fronts will fit without any problem, but when putting in the specifications for the rears in online, it says it'll be 16.8mm closer to the strut/suspension components. Will I have issues clearing?

The online calculator also says they'll stick out 1.4/1.8 inches front and rear (respectively), so measuring that on the car is it safe to say that these wheels will not "poke"?

Spending a good amount of money and don't want to mess anything up so any help is much appreciated!

Picture for viewing pleasure and to show before and after!

Iffy that it won't work? Or iffy that it should just barely work?

TBH I'm not really sure but it could work. The question is whether the backs will rub or not. I'm guessing they would at least a little.

But you can always roll the fenders if they do.

So you're saying I won't have any issues with it rubbing with the suspension components?

As long as they don't poke out and they clear all the internals on the rear I think I can make it work as well.

I remember reading someone running 275/30/20 and they had to roll their fender. They might also be running camber too. So going 285 or 295, you're definitely going to need to do some other modifications to try and make them fit properly (might not even fit properly still). Especially if you're going to be dropping your car.

Yup, seems to be a bit more work then I thought. Decided to go with a more conservative square setup at only 20x8.5 ET 38mm. I think that with a slight drop should give me the look I'm going after. Plus I'm hoping the Tein Street Advance improve the ride, I feel like the shocks currently on the car aren't performing like how they did while new.

Thanks for all the help! Will post pictures with the final setup soon in the wheel thread

Ended up going with the 20x8.5 ET38 wheels with some 255/35/20 ExtremeContact DWS tires. All just to finish of the Tein Street Advance and EDFC!
