Need Help Rim Width/Offset Question

Im looking at purchasing a set of 20x8.5 wheels with a 20mm offset. My concern is these will not be flush with the fender and stick out. Any help with this will be awesome.

Thanks

It depends on if you are lowered, and how much.

I run 20x9 et30, on coils, and they are inset. They were flush on eibachs.

A 8.5 et20 will only be 4mm farther out than mine.

Slight poke at stock height, near flush on springs, slight tuck or more on coils.

Ended up buying the 20x8.5 set. Company i bought them from offered to adjust the offset for me free of charge for a better fit. They took it from +20 to +25. Im hoping this will be close to perfect at stock height. Concern now is how goofy will it look until i can get the eibachs on it lol? Anyone running 20s with stock ride height that has pics?

Adjust the offset? That is either done by adding a spacer which would push it out and in your case they would remove material from the rim which I am not a fan of.

In your case, how did they "adjust" the offset?

^^^Curious as well. By the sounds of it, they're going to mill it down. Interested in how this turns out.

Not at stock height or on springs.
Coils maybe with stretched tires

Half the cheap wheels ($500< per rim) people buy ship as blanks and get milled later to fit offset and bolt pattern. This is no issue if done correctly.
