i was also wondering how i could get the deep dish look i the back while running 20x8.5 all around....bigger offset or does the rim itself have to be wider like 9.5 or 10...? haha bear with me im new to cars and am normaly used to putting big wheels on trucks and SUVs... the wheels i am wanting to go with are the DRIV moonshines...thanks for any help you can come up with

They have the same bolt patern as a BMW 5 on 120 but with a 67 mm hub

Looks like the offset is +48mm

If you go to TireRack's website, you can see what offsets the wheels that fit will have. There are some with +35mm offsets, which as I assume you know sticks out much farther than the factory +48mm offset. Unfortunately, there are limitations. My friend's new 650 BMW Conv. has like +25mm offsets on the 275-19" rears. Same 050 Bridgestones but runflats. Best thing about his car are his factory "Sport" wheels. Thin 5 spokes. Of course, I could have 3 G8 Gt's for the price of his.....

so i found the wheels i want. the come in 20x8.5 5x120 and in a 45 offset 35 and 15... I am still not sure how the whole offset thing works but what would i do too make it look like it has more dish in the back and less in the front. like i said im new to this sort of thing, all i wanna do is go fast!:driving:

This may help.

Offset for the rear should be 38mm or higher. The 15mm offset will put the tires out beyond the fender lips and make it look like a Mustang my buddy had in High School.

what would it look like with a 45 offset on the front and 35 in the rear or is that too much and will make it stuck out beyond the fenderwell?
