Not to bring back to life such an old post but one of my rims got broke and they are discontinued. So now im looking for other rims and looking at the Lexani LSS-10 in all black. What offset should I run? Im doing 245/35/20 tire on a 20x8.5 rim front and a 275/35/20 tire on a 20x10 rim rear. I currently have 35mm offset all the way around but I have a lot of rubbing/shred in the rear. What do you guys recommend?

I understand that model 20" wheel is available in these offsets with the G8 5/120 stud pattern:

Front 8.5"x 20 rim..offsets... 35mm..... 40 mm..... 45 mm
Rear 10" x 20 rim..offsets... 40mm..... 45 mm

FRONT: Any of those offsets is OK on the front with those tires. The lower offset has the wheel/tyre sitting further out to the guard;(your standard factory wheel is 8" with 48mm offset). So you pick.

REAR: you need the highest offset you can get to avoid scrubbing your tyre faces on the guard lips which have not been rolled. Go for the 45 offset as I believe it is the highest you can get on that wheel in 20 x 10". With a 275 rear tire I think you will find you might still get some minor rubbing with some weight in the back and sufficient suspension movement. With a 50 offset wheel you would be OK.

By the way you should try and keep the front and rear tire diameters as close as possible. So if you are running 245 35 20 FRONT you should match this with a 275 30 20 REAR (rather than the larger diameter 275 -35 profile you mentioned).
