V6 LT wheel fitment

I have 245/40ZR20 and 275/35ZR20 tires and I’m trying to find some wheels but all the wheels I like are out of stock. I finally found some but they aren’t the offsets I want. Would 20x9 +35 fronts and 20x10.5 +35 rears fit well and look good?

Not sure how it would look exactly, but running a 275 tire on a 10.5" wheel doesn't sound like a great fit to me. I run a 315 on a 10.5" wheel, and it fits perfect in my opinion

I can trade the tires out if I need too since those are the only wheels I can find in stock I like. Would it be better to go with 245 or 275s in the front with 305s in the rear? I just don’t wanna have anything rub.

OEM SS wheels are 8.5x20 et 25 front and 9.5x20 et 39 rear.
OEM SS 1LE wheels are 10x20 et 20 front and 11x20 et 43 rear.

The front wheel clearance is 5/8" less than OEM SS wheels so the front wheels probably won't fit without spacers. A 5 mm spacer may give you enough clearance without requiring longer wheel stud bolts but you may not know for sure until you install them. The rear wheels have less clearance than the OEM SS wheels but more clearance than the OEM SS 1LE wheels so you should be fine.

I agree with HCI2000SS that 275/35 tire will work on a 10.5" wheel but it will look a bit stretched. A wider tire will look better but you need to be careful to keep the front and rear tire diameters close to the same size. It seems like it needs to be less than 1" difference but I don't know for sure. There are other posts in the Wheel/Tire subforum that discuss what the actual number is.

You aren't specific about why you're looking for new wheels. It sounds like you're in a bit of a hurry. My advice would be to wait for wheels with the correct offset to be available. If you go with these wheels then be prepared to take the time needed to get the spacers right and potentially replace the front lug bolts to keep the car safe.
