You’d want a 295/45r20 on 20” wheels, fits better IMO. That offset is too high, it’d be tucked in the fenders.

Would it be even more tucked than stock?

It would be pretty much the same, maybe a quarter inch less tucked but it’s not going to be a noticeable difference.

I'm OK with it being the same. The stock fitment never really bothered me. It's my wife's daily.

I called Holley and confirmed that the load rating is 1929 lbs per wheel.

I went ahead and ordered. I also ordered a 5mm spacer and hub centric rings. Here's the only pics of the wheel on a car that I could find:

I also got some General G-Max AS-07 in 295/45/20. It's pretty close to the same diameter as my OEM 21s, so hopefully it doesn't look too silly on the stock suspension.

They're here! 5mm spacer and hubcentric ring coming later. That should effectively make the fitment the same as a +32 offset, right? This is my first time venturing out of the norm and buying a wheel that nobody has tried.

I also ordered a set of OEM Motorcraft TPMS sensors. The part number is JX7Z-1A189-C, TPMS-60. I have a set of Amazon ones that supposedly work, but I'd rather not deal with the headache.

I should be able to get a pic of the wheel on the car tomorrow (no tire mounted yet).

Well that would make it +30 offset but it wouldn’t make it near flush at all.

Here is the spacer and hub centric ring. Did I install it correctly? Is there anything unsafe about using these?

I imagine the heat will make them get stuck to the rotor. Should I put some antiseize on it so my next brake job isn't awful?

Can't wait to see them mounted. I love a multispoke wheel like that!

Nothing unsafe about those as long as they’re not too big. I’m actually very curious to see how these look. When are you getting wheels mounted?

Probably not for a few weeks. I ordered some OEM motorcraft TPMS since I don't trust the Amazon ones I had. Then I'm going to Cancun for a week. (There goes my mod money)

I can't remember where I got it but it's just a little tint film that goes over the amber corner only.

Here's how it should look. Just slightly more poke than OEM.

I guess we'll have to wait and see in a few weeks after I get an alignment and TPMS sensors and everything mounted.

I found out that the spacer I ordered was 5mm. Whoops. I might just keep them.

I know I'm being paranoid, but how do I know if I'll have enough lug stud length with the spacer and the new wheels?

I ceramic coated the wheels. The one on the left is ceramic coated, the one on the right isn't yet.

Some pics in the day light.

I am going to try to get everything mounted and aligned this Friday.

Regarding the amount of threads left after the spacer and wheel, I can make about 10 full turns with the lug nut before I have to torque it down. I think that's in a safe range.
