Default Wheels: Will a 8.5" with 20 offset fit???

Guys:

I'm looking at the Thruxton wheels, but a guy I know installed the front wheels (19") with a wrong offset and had to put spacers because the wheel was tucked inside the fender. TSW only offers two offsets: 40 and 20 for the fronts. I assume the guy with spacers got the 35 offset, but will the 20 offset fit the Z????

I'm running 8.5" +22 offset in the front. You should be fine with +20 offset

You do realize that the difference between 20 and 22 is like 2 mm. There is no way you will tell any difference between those 2 offsets.

I kow that. I'm just worried about the tire rubbing the fender. The limits established on all the threads put 22 as the most radical ofset for the front. Since the rims I'm interested only come in 20 offset, my question is Will they fit without modifiying the well.

what offset are you going for on the rear?
i got a picture of a 350Z in 19x8.5front and 19x9.5rear Thruxton. and both of offsets are 20. i think it fits pretty good!
