all depends how much work you want to put in to your fenders. offset, tire size, camber & how low your going all need to be worked with to make a 11" wheel work on a M.

Understandable. Well the wheels I want are 20x8.5 offset +38 fronts and 20x9.5 offset + 39 but there 5x112 so I'm also gonna put of conversion spacers which is 1 & 1/4 thick. Right now I'm lowered 1.25 all around on espiler awd spec springs from burtman industries. Not sure about camber though

with the info you posted above all 4 wheels will stick out of the fenders.

this is just to give you and idea:

20x8.5 with 245/35 tire should be at 30 to 34 offset

20x10 with 285/30 tire should be at 42 to 44 offset.

This will not rub and will need no camber at all.


A wheel that is 20x10.5 with an offset of 45 will stick out of the fender even with out the tire.

Hope this helps.

I have 20x8.5 +18 up front and no mods only "natural" camber from eibach lol fits fine. Nitto nt555 245/35/20. If you want a 20x11 to fit you'd need like a +45 offset for a not so much stretched tire and some camber or slight pull/ higher offset. Why not just get rims with your bolt pattern?

Well the fender pulling I'm do it myself and with the spacers plus wheels it's still a deal.

I have a friend running 20x10.5 I believe at -26 offset and had to pull the fenders about a inch and a half I believe on a stretched tires and bagged.. I think you might be ok.. I would just get the wheels so you have no choice but to pull the fenders and add a little more camber for a better stance. :)
