Wheel Fitment Question

Hey guys so I recently bought myself some str 514 wheels 9x20 and 10.5x20 with a +30 through +35 offset. Also as you can see in the pic that the rear still has some space for a spacer and in the front I'm running a 15mm spacer. The problem I had was the the front brakes weren't clearing so I had to get some spacers. I hate running spacers but I do like more of an aggressive look with the wheels not tucking too much so I've decided that I want to get some different wheels. The problem is the the wheels I want are the Rohana rc7 which give 2 options. One is 9x20 with 10x20 in the rear with a +22 through +28 offset and the second option is 9x20 with 11x20 in the rear with a +22 through +28 offset. I don't want to do much fender rolling, if any at all and I still want to ride on stock height but do plan on lowering it on swift springs maybe in the future. Anyone have any experience with the rohanna rc7 20 inch wheels? Or even pics would help a lot. I've attached a pic of what it currently looks like. Thanks in advance.

Is that a base model?
Even with smaller brakes you had issues? Weird..
In order to clear the brakes (especially sport ones) you have to make sure you have sufficient back spacing and inner diameter. Since all the components are the same as coupe (minus a slightly wider booty), I'd look in the coupe section first. I am fairly confident I've seen people run rc7. Also, there are a couple of wheel vendors here that will help you figure out the right offset. And Brad (blnewt) is a G wheel guru - he might be able to chime in.

imo, 20s look weird without a drop. That front gap is cringe worthy, especially with such a crazy white / black contrast.
Good luck!

I'd echo kiseliok, if you don't plan on lowering a 20" really exaggerates the already tall fender gap.

You can run the 9 +22 on a 245/35 and in back that 11 +28, the vert has a wider rear fender than the coupe, but not exactly sure how much tire you could run. A 285/30 should be a nice fit back there and it could be possible ??? to run even wider based on this awesome thread~

Thanks guys didn't know that the rear is slightly wider which actually makes things better because the rear is what I'm really worried about. I was also planning on running the 285 size tire. If It's really going to stick out I will most likely go with the swift springs since that's the most minimal spring drop I can find with decent ride quality.

There is no question that 20x11 will fit. The question is what offset works.

I got +25 +28. Once I adjust the camber I'll take more pics.
