Smile Yes, Another Wheel question?

Ok, here goes.
Got my TEIN SA coilovers. Plan to lower just to close the gap.
I'm about to pull the trigger on this wheel and tire set up. Not sure if I will have to roll the rear fender or not so I'm looking for some opinions.
Rims- Niche Form (Charcoal)
Front- 20x8.5 +35
Rear- 20x10 +40
Tires 255/35/20 (Nitto) all around.
Does anybody see any problem with this set up?
Any experience with having to roll the fenders with a set up like this.
Again, I am just using the coilovers to close the gap, not slam that bitch to the ground...
Thanks for your opinions and support over the past few days.

Why not go 10 all around so you can have all 4 corners concave?

HeratTLs,
I didn't want to have to modify the front fender since its plastic. But i'm up for all suggestions as this is my first Acura. I have not said yes to my wheel guy yet. I'm looking at all of my options before I make this purchase. Thanks bro

Just ordered the same wheels in bronze 20x10 all around and I also have the sa teins. Im probably gonna go with 245/35/20 which seems to have a closer rolling diameter as the stock wheels. Ill will give you an update when I install them in a few days as far as rubbing in the rear.

there's a little metal tab inside the front fender that tears up tires.
at the very least, you would have to get rid of the tab.

I also agree on a square set up! 20x10 all around!!!

it really throws off the looks of the car when the rear wheels are on point but the front is weak as hell

Definitely square all the way around. You won't be able to rotate your tires otherwise.

JWhite, yes please keep me updated.
That was also my biggest concern, not being able to rotate the tires. Just don't want to be tearing up tires on the front. I'm going to go look for that metal tab justnspace and see what that's all about.
Thanks again for your advice guys. Looks like it may be 10 all around.

I'd go 20x8.5 +35 all around. But i tend to go for practicality and consider all the factors. If you want to sacrifice for looks, go x10 all around. I wouldn't stagger. Its going to look good either way.

I don't seem to recall a metal tab in the front. The rear has a tab that will need to be trimmed down depending on how aggressive and low you go. 20x10, you will at least need a roll. Not flat but just enough so the lip of the fenders won't eat up your tires. I'd go 20x10 as well and run 245/35/20. Slight stretch but it's needed. The look will be a more aggressive. 20x8.5 from the sounds of it will prolly be your choice since you just want to close the gap. It's conservative and it seems that's what you're aiming for. Might not even need a fender roll.

I just too got my Tein SA coilovers. I want to know if its safe to run 20x10 all around on my 2013 Tl Sh-AWD without rolling up my fenders, and also the offset that I'm looking at is 35.

if you're AWD, you won't want mismatched rolling diameters.

Well I pulled the trigger today and went ahead and ordered my wheels and tires
Ended up going 20x10 all around with 245/35/20 Nitto 555 tires. Should be here 7-10 days.
Going to try to get my Tein SA coilovers installed this week prior to the wheels getting here. Will probably have to have the rear fenders rolled prior to getting the wheels put on.
Does anyone have experience with putting the coilovers in the highest position (which I beleive will still give some drop) and putting 20x10's on till I can get to the shop to get them rolled?
I will post pics once it's all together

thanks

you can have the fenders rolled today with little impact to anything else. why risk damaging them or the spendy tires?
