Wheel Size ?

Has anyone put this size on a 5th gen? What is your opinion/experience on it?

Front - 20x8.5
Rear - 20x10

Got an offset to go with those? Depending on the offset, the fronts should be fine. 10" wide is a smidge wide IMO even for the rears.

offset - 40
Yea i know the 10" is a bit wide but that is the only size those wheels come in. there is another set by the same company i was looking at and really wanted but they stopped making 5x114.3 for our car. The guy told me he would drill a 5x112 wheel larger so it would fit my car. Do you think thats safe?

Although a 40 offset will probably fit pretty well in the rear, I wouldn't do it...seems a little sketchy...

What do you mean 55+?
The drill job is going to be done by the maker of the wheels with machinery meant for that type of job. Not sure if anyone has had that done?
