Question Tire help

Hello everyone. I just purchased 20 inch wheels.
20x8.5 with 40 offset and 20x10 with a 35 offset. HELO 834's
the dealer tells me the largest tires are 245/35 frt and 275/30 rear.

I want to know if i can put 255/35 frt and 285/30 rear or 275/35 rear??
any help would be greatly appreciated. I am running completly stock and
dont plan on doing any other changes right now. If anyone is running these larger sizes have you had any rubbing issues??

Those tires will work, but the wheel fitment will be horribly sunk in.

Thank you for the reply. so the wheels would be pushed in towrads the middle and not out flush?? Discount Tire told me that these are the correct offsets and they would sit like the stock...

Default spacers needed

ok, here I go again.. HELP??
I listened to the tire people at the shop and went with:
20x8.5 with 40 offset and 20x10 with a 35 offset, they told me that was STOCK offsets..
Wheels are HELO 834's I put 255/35 frt and 285/30 rear on NITTO 555's..
ALL IS GOOD EXCEPT THAT DARN OFFSET. NOW i need a good set of spacers,
tires look smaller than 18's due to how far in they sit..
ANYONE have any good luck with spacers and where should I go?
I think I need 25 in back and 15 up front. HELP??

I think H&R DRS Spacer are run by a lot of people and 25/15 would make your offsets 15/20, which would be fine, but I think you can run wider spacers in the back...

Looking for a flush look on my car with Swift Springs:

Is this setup okay?
20x9.5 +24
20x10.5 +15

What tires should I run if I want a stretched look?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Sam

Question aggressive or stretched

I know this is probably a dumb question but I am confused as to the two terms used for the wheel fitment.. Does aggressive mean the tires sit more to the outside of the car? Or is that the difinition for stretched?

Next question::
I have 20x8.5 with 40 offset with 255/35 and 20x10 with a 35 offset & 285/30. HELO 834's... but they sit too far in on the rears. The fronts look fine. I want the wheels to sit out to the edge of the car body and not rub. I dont want to do any other mods except spacers right now. If I go 25mm in the back will that be the right setup without rubbing??

thank you for your help...
