Offset kings, need your help

I think I'll be ordering some 20" wheels soon just need some help as the offset numbers seem scary, want to see if anyone is running anything similar (calculations tell me they might be too much, hoping someone could prove me wrong)

FR: 9" wide +25 offset
RR 10" wide +25 offset

Running around -1.8 degrees camber and dropped on Eibachs

What do you guys think?

I've seen lower numbers but with slightly wider wheels. I think these would work but you may need to run more negative camber to make it work. Although with the Eibachs, you may not rub.

Only on way to truely find out...

What are you getting?

Sam my Torks were +25 with a 5mm spacer and the only reason I ran camber was bc of the H&R drop, you should be fine with the Eibach lift kit

Not offered in those sizes and those would certainly stick out with those offsets

I think you will rub in the rear. I have Eibachs and custom offset. My rear is 32 and it's pretty flush. If you look down from the fender, you'll see the lip stick out by a few mm, which is fine. But I think with 25 in the rear, you will rub. I already did with 32 offset on Yokohamas (granted, half of it was due to the tires).

+1 on what Wei said.

I don't imagine your wheels to be cheap. And you're probably gonna pay good money for them. So why not go custom offset (like iForged?), haha.

If you have H&Rs like Solis then it'll get more tucked from it being lower. But you have Eibachs like me, so you're looking at a more aggressive version than what I have (see pic), by a good amount too.

EDIT: just dug up my alignment specs for you, I got -1.4 camber in the rear.

Sorry to disappoint you Danny but I'm not going for something Dubai-ballin haha, just something that looks aftermarket with a nice lip and flush. I don't want to blow all my money on wheels, need to leave some for goodies from FI and others
