Mine only rub when I get 2 or more people in the backseat when I hit a pothole or bump. Offset is unknown and I'm running 20x8.5 fr and 20x10.5 rear. 275/30 zr 20 in the rear and 245/35 zr 20 in the front. 3" lip and 5" lip.

I have 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 but they are Falken 452's, which are known to be a slimmer than other tires. So their 285 is close to other companie's 275.
As for rubbing and offset, I was having issues with Koni Struts and Eibach pro kit springs. That was the front though. Once I changed it to coilover's and adjusted the height accordingly and rolled the rear fenders, no more rubbing.
I believe the Radenergie's also didn't have the offset indicated, but was fitted for e60's.
What wheels do you plan to get now?!?!

Who said I was getting wheels, I was just asking about 20" offsets
That's the only reason why you would ask... not like your wheels will change offsets..
I know, i know.

LIGHTING:

PERFORMANCE:

WHEELS & SUSPENSION:
Work VS-XX 20x9, 20x10 | Toyo T1R 245/30/20, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 295/25/20 | KW V2 Coilovers | Rogue Engineering 15mm Spacers
These are my wheel offsets:
20 X 9.0 +25A
20 X 10.0 +19O
I was running Toyo T1R 285/25/20 and 245/30/20 on my original set of tires and had absolutely no rubbing. I'm using a 15mm spacer on the front because the inside of my wheels were rubbing the inside of my shock on hard turns, since my car is so slammed. I also wanted to push the wheels out more flush with the fender.
I'm now running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 295/25/20 in the rears. I had to do some major modification to get them to fit. I cut off some of the plastic liner and rolled the whole fender on the quarter panel. I also shaved off some of the metal where the quarter panel meets the rear bumper. There's still a little bit of rubbing under full compression, but I'm using some rubber bump stops to prevent that from happening. Overall, I'm happy with the new tires. The ride is a tad bumpier on uneven streets due to the bump stops, but that's me just being nitpicky.
The Michelin's look sick though. No more pulled drifter look tires! I hope my experience will be helpful in your decision.

Ryan,
You could have shaved off 3mm from the offset to help the tires fit.

Yeah, but the poke looks sexy. I'll post some pics when I get the car washed.

iForged doesn't make their offsets public, so you won't get any help from those guys.
