Fitment question

First post, but I've been lurking for a few weeks since I picked up the 37S. I just have a quick question about wheel fitment and issues with the offset. Below are the wheel/tire sizes I am considering. I'm pretty sure it will all work out but wanted to check first.

Rear: 20x10 +25 285/30/20
Front: 20x9 +25 245/35/20

I'm not sure what I'm going to do about ride height yet. Probably just eibach's since this is my wife's daily driver. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

jeff

I'm considering the Axis Penta with black centers if I cheap out. If I decide to cut back on some of my motocross races and not be a cheap *** then the CCW CP18 and BBS LM's are on the list. The size and offsets listed are for the Pentas. The roads where I live suck so I'd rather bend a $400 axis wheel than an $800-$1000 wheel. And..... well... I like spending money on my bikes and race weekends.

Username comes from being the only white guys that goes to our local asian food store (aptly named "asian food store") every week. The lady that owns the store started calling me that because I called something a ricebowl once and it was actually a bamboo rice container.

Sold many combos with those sizes on them and had no issues. Offset will play into it, however, so make sure they are correct for the vehicle. If you're going to drop and want to stay a bit conservative a 275/30-20 would be ok out back also.

Haha nice story. The offset is a little aggressive. I think you will rub with Eibachs, at least in the rear. If you get Yokohama S-drives, you will rub for sure.

You'd have to make sure the wheels will clear the factory BBK too, if you have it.
