20" wheels on 4.2

hey guys... i found a set of really nice wheels off a g35 im thinkin about getting them redrilled or getting adapters for them. the adapters i can get are 20mm think, so keep that in mind.

new wheels might be a bit extreme for some of you guys, but here goes.
the fronts are going to be 20x8.5 with 245/30/20 tire and 35 offset. the back 20x10 or 10.5 with 285/30/20 tire and 22 offset. is there any chance of these things fitting? btw the car is a 4.2 so i got some fender clearance

As discussed yesterday, ALL 4 of your tires need to have the same rolling diameter.

The tires you listed have different diameters.

I can't say for sure if 10.5 inch wheels will fit (even with the 4.2's large fenders.)

And the same goes for 285 tires. Only a few on here have installed 20" wheels. Most of us are satsified with 18's or 19's.
