Thumbs up

What would be the ideal offsets for the following wheel sizes without rubbing:
  • 20x9 fronts | at least 3" lip
  • 20x10 rears | at least 4" lip
I plan on running the following tire sizes:
  • 245/35/20 fronts
  • 285/30/20 rears
vegastrashed, FLyM5, EuroCarFan, MacFly, alpinewhite, KnIgHtCoM, ImSortOfABigDeal, and others -- Those who have had custom wheels made, please chime in with your 20" widths and offsets.

TIA.

Im running 20x9 and 20x10, Joe r1racer is running 20x9 and 20x10.5 with 285 in the rear and no rubbbing (but with rolled/cut fenders). offsets are not known, just made to "e60 fitment" from IFORGED

Offset of 20mm for front and 25mm for rear. You won't have to worry about rolling your fenders.

Thanks Joe! With those offsets, any chance of retaining 3" front lip and 4" rear lip?

Those offsets I provided are with the 3" and 4" lips in mind.

If you go with reputable companies like iForged, VIP Modular and etc... they should know what the offsets are to fit your car, either dropped or not.
The reason why forged wheels are expensive because you can custom them like how aggressive you want them to be, color and lip size. However, some companies do not disclose their offsets because they dont want other companies to know.

The offsets VT gave were about right.
