Default 20mm offset wheels-too far out?

I'm looking at some wheels, but the design I like seems to only be available with 20mm offset (Both front and rear). This is over a half inch push outwards, would these be usable with stock diameter tires, or would I get rubbing on the lip of the fender?

I suspect it'll rub, but if anyone has tried, let me know....btw wheel widths are 8.0/9.5 front/rear.

Check threads for OEM offset. I think we can use up to 30f - 35r front to rear max.

You will be fine... an 8in wide wheel with +20mm offset wont come close to rubbing anything.. especially the fender. i have a 19in/ 9in wide wheel with a +35mm offset and have no problems..

How about the rears though? 9.5" wide, and half an inch pushed out...though if 10" wide wheels fit, I pretty much have my answer there..... forgot to mention, it's 19's front an back, though if they have 18's I may do that in front, as the roads here aren't exactly smooth as a Texas interstate.

No, still stock ride...may eventually go the eibach route, but not yet.

then it will never come close to the fender.. the stock ride sits a few inches over the tire.. front and back.. even with the eibach you will be fine.. you will only have a problem if you slam the car. right now i have spacers on my wheels to bring them out just past the body of the car to give it a wider, more aggressive look and have absolutely no problems whatsoever!
