An offset calculator is a great tool. Try it.

I have a feeling that offset is going to be too high and have clearance issues on the inside

I highly doubt a 20x10 would fit. There just isn't the clearance in the front to run a wheel that wide. Why would you want to? A 20x8 or 8.5 would be a way better choice. A 245 easily fits on an 8 inch wide wheels which is plenty of meat for the front wheels.

Lots of people have run a 10" wheel in the front, it just takes the right offset to get it to clear

+20 to 30 will be what you need. What size tire do you plan to run?

thanks guys for the help.

as far as an offset calc, i tried it thanks but a word from those who have actually done it or have knowledge of wheel size/offsets rather than a computerized calculation doesnt hurt.


I plan on running 255/35 and a 10 or 15mm spacer

I have a 20.9x5 in the front, a 20x10 COULD fit. Unfortunately I don't know what offset my setup is as iForged doesn't release them, but I can tell you that if your offset was perfect a 20x10 would fit. That said, I highly doubt a 35 offset would fit right. On stock height you can just about fit anything given it doesn't hit any suspension components or your fender well, but I don't think a 35 offset is the answer.

If you already have the wheels, put them on (or attempt to) and see how large of a spacer you need. Like I said, you will need to have a perfect offset to pull it off. That said, it's probably not even worth it, it's going to weigh a ton more than likely.

This will allow you to get a good idea of the size of space you need and not just go buy a ton of them and try them all out, unless of course you just have a ton sitting around...but I don't know why anyone would.
