Hello, just though Id get some confirmation before finalising my wheel purchase

I have a set of wheels that I am currently looking at buying through a private sale and just wanted to see if I could get peoples opinion of how they would fit
From the searching and reading from the site I know that the offset should be close to +50 (factory specs) ... and also people seem to be running lower offsets and much bigger rims 20s, so from what I gather they should be able to fit ok ... however would like peoples opinion on the feasibility of lowering the car with wheels with my specs

The details I have gathered for my wheels are :
20x8.5 front and rear with +45 offset
245/35R20 95Y tyres on all four wheels

On another note, during my search I came across many other wheels like one on ebay:
19x10.5 (-6 offset) 19x12 (+1 offset) which had massive amounts of dish
But such a rim is in impossible realms to be fitted on a soarer .. well at least I cant think of any way which is really a shame

Should fit easy BUT not so with those tyre sizes (possibly, but I doubt it).

I have 20x8.5" rims, not sure on the offset tho.

On the rear 245x35x20 fitted, but i needed 225 on the front, and they still rub with the wheels turned full lock.

well ill just use this thread that I made some time ago

since my soarer is all up and running I can start dressing it up a bit

thinking about a rim with the following

19x9.5, 45+, 5x114.2 ... with a set of bridgestone potenza RE050A, (245/40R19 94W)

This is one area which I have no idea about so any input about fitment would be appreciated. Also any comments on the standard of tyres fitted

Thanks again

114.3 :-)

And the fit should be EASY. At the rear at least.
