Before I spend a significant amount on this setup, I figured I should ask around. As far as clearance or rubbing, I should be good right? Wheels are 20x10.50 with 30mm offset. And I'm going with 295/45/20 Pilot Sport 4's.
Also, has anybody had an issues with the Niche brand?

Other than that being a heavy, cast wheel and not worthy of a tire that good…you won’t have any physical issues.

Size and offset are good, check.

The Aodhans are rotary forged and cost half that price. Everything looks good with that you have there but I’d just get the Aodhans, the Niches are expensive cast heavy wheels.

Thanks for your help. I found some 20x10.50 Aodhans that I like, but they are 45mm offset. Is that too much?

That won’t work. But Aodhan makes the AFF7 in a 20x10.5 with a +35 offset which works, and is very close to the AFF3.
Interesting, on Aodhans website the AFF3 has a 35mm option but only on a 5x120 pattern. The 5x114 is 45mm. Oh well
I'll definitely consider the AFF7. Thanks again (y)

The AFF7 is a great looking wheel that's light and has great fitment. I was sure I was gonna get those, but I got such a good deal on a different set of wheels.
