To make it easy. I would stay away. The offsets could be alot better (alot) and the widths are also weak.

will all wheels with the same offset stick out the same or will all wheel types be different?

The amount it sticks out is a combination of the offset and the wheel width. A wider wheel will stick out more than a narrower wheel with the same offset. Check out the offset calculator from the link below to compare your current set up with any new ones that you are looking at.

Read the will it fit thread. I am one of the guys everyone turns to around here for fitment questions and like everyone else has said this is waaaayyy too weak for your car. Look for wheel combos similar to these:

These are Aggressive:

20 x 9.5 +15
20 x 11 +0

20 x 10 +22
20 x 12 +7

These are more Normal:

20 x 9.5 +25
20 x 11 +5

20 x 10 +25
20 x 12 +15

In a 10.5 you want as close to +0 as possible.

In a 9.5 you can get away with anything from a +25 to a +10

In a 11 you can get away with anything from +15 to a -7

In a 12 you can get away with anything from +20 to a +0

This all takes in consideration you run a 255/305 tire combo.

I hope this helps.

Mike
