Question Newbie here. Will these wheels fit?

I have a 2008 journey with factory wheels now. I am looking to change to 20" wheels. I have a line on a decent set but am concearned with the fitment. The rears are 20 x 10 with an option of 25mm or 35mm offset. Tires are 285/30/20. The fronts are 20 x 8.5 with either 20mm or 45mm offset with 245/35/20 tires.

Hopefully someone can help steer me in the right direction. Car is bone stock so this is kinda important to get right.

Thanx.

i would go 25mm off set on the 10 for the rear and 20mm offset on the 8.5 for the front!
you should have a pretty good stance after a nice drop!

Any chance that the 285's will rub with a 25mm offset?

without a drop tho thatll be sticking out way past the fender.

heres a pic of my rears 20x10 +17 - 245/35/20 - no drop







You should get the 20x8.5 +25 245/35/20 front and 20x10 +35 285/30/20 rear.

If you put a 285 on a 10 +25 youre def going to rub like crazy

The guy mentioned that the 25mm will fit with the original tires I was going to buy. 275's, problem is he only has 285's in stock. He said I may have to worry about the rears rubbing.

Do you think that the 35mm will work better with the factory stance?

unless you plan on slamming and cambering it +25 with a 285 wont work.

Thank you. I just want a little slicker look, but still want to maintain the factory springs. This helps.

The front options are actually either a 45mm or a 20mm 20x8.5 rim with 245/35/20 tires. Which offset would be better and more natural looking for the front? I'm guessing the 20mm. How are my assumptions?
