    Looks are, of course, subjective. I’m responding to the comment that the tire will foul. I think it’s probably close and depends on ride height and alignment settings.

    Even that size is not a slam dunk.

    Depending on tire size, it may still rub. I had an issue with a particularly wide 295/30-19 tire on a car that was not lowered. It was a very tiny amount of rubbing, and a slightly narrower tire solved it.

    Are these Argumented Wheels 3-piece 355 Wheels? They look good.

    That style wheel will look amazing but 20s will negatively effect the ride more than you would like....

    Maybe Sweden has smoother roads than New Jersey or Alabama? They can't be any worse... :oops:

    All the best,

    20" might be a little big for a 355, but with right offset I think it could look good. Especially on a lowered car.
    Don't go "stance" style with too much offset and part of the tire not in contact with the road.
    What are those wheels?

    I’m ok with making the car look good if the effect on performance is limited.

    Forget about it!
    Wrong ET.

    Front would be tucked inside ( "Tire is 30 mm closer to suspension components. Rim is 38 mm closer to suspension components.")

    https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=225-40-18X7.5ET46&wheel2=235-30-20X8.5ET71&wheel3=245-30-20X8.5ET71&wheel4=225-40-19X8ET40&fcl=30mm&scl=50mm&wcl=30mm&sr=0mm

    Rear would step out ("The tire will stick out 47 mm farther. Rim will stick out 55 mm farther").

    https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=265-40-18X10ET77&wheel2=275-30-20X11ET35&wheel3=225-40-19X8ET40&fcl=30mm&scl=50mm&wcl=30mm&sr=0mm

    Are you sure??
    I have done measurements with a wheel fitment tool and the outer edge of the wheel will be perfectly flush with edge of car, there is some room left on the inside

    Cargraphic uses also the same offset except for the front for the same width and it looks perfect.

    You will definitely need to roll your fender lips or cut them if you are anything but off road height. My offsets are not as crazy and my fenders take a major beating, even rolled with 3.5deg negative camber and stiffer suspension settings.

    Right, front ET is a little wild.
    You should stay with 8" large front wheels with ET close to original.
    Use the link I provided to find your setting.
    It is a very accurate tool.


    In my opinion the Velgen wheels look much better than the Cargraphic ones.

    Challenge wheels plus a 11mm spacer front and rear. I think that puts my front 18x8 at +60. With a 295/40 it ruined my fenders. Ive since cut and rolled them but now im going to need to paint them. Front of the car is going for paint next week.

    Yes i have 17mm spacers front and rear now with original wheels.
    The rears are flush with edge but front need 11mm to get flush with edge.
