I bought a set of Rohanna RC20's 20x10 with an offset of +18. The rims look great but they stick out about 1/4 inch past the fender. More than I wanted. Anyone know if I can run 275/35/20's?

Quick update..

Purchased the 20x10.5 FR2's with +35 and rented the spacer kit from ECS tuning. Started with 10mm and it looked terrible. Ended up buying 5mm spacers - should be in Tuesday. Will install and post some new pics for reference.

Thanks for all the feedback -

Why did it look terrible? Did it stick out too much? Any rubbing? Pics please? I am thinking of putting spacers but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I have 20x 10 +36 HRE p44sc all around.

Way too far past fender for me...will have pics of the 5mm installed in a few days.
You would think I would have snapped a few pics when testing spacer widths...

I have 20x11 with a 30offset squared with 285 30/R20, the fit is perfect I am also lowered with H&R springs.

Thanks man -

No covers - had them painted red with Audi decal on front. You could barely see them with OEM 10-spoke. Big difference now.

how many miles have you had them painted? I'd think they would get pretty nasty pretty quick and be hard to clean.

Wipe 'em down each time you wash and they last -
