Cool Wheel fitment questions

Wasup guys, hope you guys can help me out here. So I originally had purchased a 20x10 +35 offset for my 2017 Camaro ss. The wheel didn’t even fit (fronts) wouldn’t clear the strut. So do you guys think or have any of you guys tried a 20x9.5 +20 offset clearing for the fronts? Checked the wheel and tire size pages to see but it’s really unclear if it will clear. Don’t know how much mm will clear the strut or not. Thanks

Enter your original size/offset. Enter new size/offset.

Yes, they'll fit, with a fair amount of room to spare.

I don’t understand. MRR 228 20x10 et35 with 285/30 will fit.

Are you guys sure this will fit with a +35 offset? The tool at wheel-size.com says the rim will be 29 mm closer to the strut, it's a lot.

I have 285/35/20 fronts on 10" MRR 017 wheels with a +23 offset, and it's a tight fit for the wheel (I know my tire is taller than usual, but does clear the rubber nub with a 3mm spacer).

OP, I guess a spacer may be in order if you want to keep everything you've got. A 20x9.5 or even a 20x10 with a +20 offset will certainly fit, though.

So yeah, a 10" wheel with 20mm offset is stock SS 1LE size, so that 9.5 will certainly fit with the same offset. But if you already have the 20x10 et35 wheels purchased and you like them and want a set you can rotate (i.e., same dimensions front and rear), then why not just use 15mm spacers up front and use the wheels you already bought? You would probably need to install longer studs in the front hubs, but that's easy and not expensive. Spacers up front are the only way to use identical wheels front and rear on these cars unless you stick to skinny 8.5" widths.

would a 20x9 +35 offset wheel wrapped with 275/30 fit on the front & 20x10.5 +35 305/30 on the rears ? I don’t think i did enough research before pulling the trigger on this new set up :( smh lol
thanks in advance

It will have 0.09" more backspacing than a stock SS 1LE front wheel and 0.37" more backspacing than the base 20x8.5" wheels. So it's going to be very close to the strut, but if you don't have MRC you may be able to get away with it. OTOH, a 1/8-1/4" spacer up front would solve that problem (spacers essentially subtract offset), and shouldn't need longer studs. That 10.5" rear will have less backspacing than a stock 1LE wheel, so no issues there. It will poke 0.06" more to the outside fender edge, but that's so little difference to a stock 1LE wheel that it shouldn't matter.
