Thank u for ur help
They will fit nice & flush, but I'd only go with them if you're lowered or plan on lowering. 20s exaggerate the already large fender gap at stock height. FWIW Natalie used to have one sweet black G sedan decked out in super flush Vossens, so she knows her stuff. And they are the lighter & stronger version of the Vossen line so an even better deal.
I ended up getting this
20x8.5 offset 35 245/35/20
20x10 offset 45 275/30/20
i wanted to say thank you for the advice & help with the rims- this was owners old car- ordered hub centric rings & tapered lug nuts like u told me - thx for info

With these rims ☝️decided to go tein s spring
1.9 front
1.8 rear
With that drop I'll order spc control arm & toe bolt camber front & rear
Could u assist me where to buy - I've heard of those company's giving u bogus/fake parts
I looked at vendor onsite- how's the easiest & cheapest way of ordering all that

I'd buy the Tein Basis Z coilovers, only cost a couple hundred more than the springs and will be a better overall setup and you can get the EXACT height you want.
Check JM autosports, should get you a good deal.

I'd get the suspension lowered & aligned then reevaluate, you might like the fit as-is and if you want a spacer you'd be able to determine the size needed much easier.
Spacers aren't a problem, just stick to a brand like Ichiba, H&R or B2 Autodesigns, those are decent quality. Just need to torque to 80-85 ft. pounds and if they are bolt-on spacers use ONLY a 6 pt socket that's sitting flush as the stock nuts that come w/ the spacers are very easy to round off. Also w/ the bolt on spacers re-check torque shortly after install and every oil change.

I was at 25.75" on B&G lowering springs, that was too low for me. Not fun to navigate steep drives, speed bumps, and especially the speed humps 
The Y-pipe and exhaust tips got shredded being that low too.
I got coilovers about 5 years ago and set them to 26.25" to the fender arcs and that 1/2" made all the difference, no problems now, sure you have to be more careful at times, but not something that takes away from the fun of these cars.
So in short, 26.25 to 26.75" to the fender arcs and you should be a happy daily driver
