20x8.5 or 20x9 would be a safer bet. I can tell you right now that my summer wheels are 20x9 +35 offset with a 255/35R20 and they rub a tiny bit in the rear over big dips/bumps.

As for AWD and different sizes...that's up to you. If you hate yourself and prefer a stupid look over function, performance and practicality, you can put wider tires in the rear. The RL is not a 400hp RWD sports sedan. It does not need wider rear tires.

Like I said, my 20x9 +35 wheels rub on the rear fenders over big dips and bumps. The wheels you are proposing stick out 6mm more than mine. You do the math.

20x9 with +42 offset should not rub at all. Any lower offset and it's going to rub the fenders if they are not rolled. I would not put 10 inch wide tires in the front. If you could manage to pull it off, the negative camber will chew through the tires so fast.
