will 20" x 8.5 fit in the rear? This is just for the rear end. Is it too wide to tuck under my fenders like my tires do now? Does anybody have 20's
18s for the front.

I have 19x8.5 AXIS wheels all around with 245/35/ZR19 TOYO's with a 35mm off-set, and TEIN s-tech springs. WITH NO MODS TO CAR!!!!

with the 19X8.5 on my car there is only about 1/4" of clearance between the part of the strut that holds the lower side of spring and the tires. I think if you(or I) wanted to do a 20x8.5 you would possibly have to do a 38mm-40mm off-set which in my opinion kind-of "sticks out". So a 20x8 or even 7.5 with a 35-38mm off-set would have to be used...???

but as far as my 19x8.5's theyONLY rub(which is rare) when I have passengers in the car and hit a pretty hard dip going over 40-45MPH,
and that is only on my rear passenger side on the inside fenderwell


I am also considering stepping up to a 20x8.0-8.5 AXIS Reverb(gold) I am just saving up more funds since I barely bought my current wheels about 3-months ago.

AND ALSO...
even compared to my 17's I had before, THE 19'S RIDE LIKE S**T, and I'm sure the 20's will be even worse
