Not a big difference in size, but I’m running these from Amazon. I posted this in another forum, but I have no problem repeating that thear are the same 20mm spacers found on Khartunerz for 1/4 of the price.

I just want to lower the measurement since the wheels are too far out but not in a way that it looks like a jeep wrangler or anything. It's just that when it rains, the dirt really go all over the side of my car and I'm just scared that rocks might chip on the side and damage my paint.

So a 15mm spacer won't make it look less wide?

if you replace your current 25mm spacers with 15mm each of your tires will move closer inside the fender by 10mm/1cm.

It will make a decent difference from 25-15mm. I had to put rokblokz mud flaps on mine because it does throw a lot of stuff on the sides of the car

So an update on my issue:

I decided return the wheels. The dealer was kind enough to give me a full refund. So what do ya'll think is a good offset for aftermarket wheels? 20x9

I’m glad you were able to get a full refund. That’s great! Here’s a good place to see what other people are running.

Looks like +35 is what most people are running with 20x9 but I would consult a professional before you buy. Most websites will have a contact section where you can probably get some help. Car ID might be a good place. You can choose to see guaranteed fit wheels only and choose what whee size you’d like. Best of luck!

Another update:

So I bought new sets of wheels with an offset of 30 but the problem now is it is touching my brembos on the front -_-

So it looks like I ended up going for the spacers again but this time its 10mm

So am I still safe from any of this?

If you clear the Brembo calipers you should be fine, as long as the rims are not too wide (wider rims and/or tires can foul with the shocks - or is it struts? - when too wide; then your only solution is to add on more spacer width, which becomes problematic with "poke" and possible stress on the bearings). Mine in front are 8.5", but my frontal offset is 40; if I understand this, with your 10mm spacers we have the same clearance now. (But there is a possibility that your particular wheel configuration/design adds or subtracts some millimeters of clearance; i.e. offset is not an unsettled science by itself).

So the dealer is a really good friend of mine so he allowed me to return the wheels and try to get a proper fitment. So if im going 20 inches what should be my front wheel measurements?

Now you're out of my narrow territory of acquired knowledge. You start changing wheel OD and I can't suggest anything.

So a final update and finally a win for me!! I got some flow forged face wheels 20x8.5 and finally it fits perfectly!! No need for spacers!!
Bye bye to spacers and now I can relax!! Thank you all for your insights!

i guess the right offset is 32 and wheel width is 8.5 when running on 20 inches

yeah wheels look dirty since its rainy season here and I didnt place the hubcaps yet

I'm glad you found something that works. Cool looking wheels!

Nice! May potholes reveal themselves in a timely fashion, into your future: Amen!

And the conclusion!! Finally no rubbing or scrubbing.

20x8.5
245/35R20
Offset: 32

what a feeling. My first time buying set of wheels for a car sure is a lot of work.
