will 20x10 fit front wheel wells?

What are the widest 20s that will fit on the front of a 7th gen without rolling fenders etc? Granted the proper offset would be used when determined of course. I want to get 20s but rather than run staggered, I want to try n fit 20x10 front and rear so that I can still rotate them.

I've got 20x8.5 on a 5th gen and I love it. Looks good drives good. Mine are 42 offset and I have a 1/4 spacer on the back to even the wheel well so they r flush.

Go out and measure? Its not hard. Just find the stock wheel specs and go from there.

Make sure you measure with the steering wheel lock to lock to ensure inner fender well clearance.

I have 19x9.5's up front with a 35 offset currently. Needed to roll and slightly pull the fenders. Tires are semi-stretched (235's), but no rubbing up and down or at full lock.

Thanks for the compliments guys - the wheels are the sportmaxx 962's, definitely a good looking wheel. I'm actually running the rears of my new staggered setup on one side atm. My 8.5's for the front just came in the other day after being back-ordered for 3 weeks... haven't had the time to get them mounted just yet.

As for your fitment problems with your front fenders perkman, i would recommend trying to pull/roll your fenders a bit more. I used a 2 1/2" bar from my jack to roll and pull my front fenders (no damage to the paint whatsoever. What offset are you running? My roommate is running 20x8.5's on his max with a 38 offset on 235/35 20's and has plenty of room. He and I both run D2 coilovers so worst case scenario we can add a bit of camber to help clear (i haven't had to with my current setup) albeit with more wear to the tires.

Just to toss out another picture since people seem to like my "two-face" wheel setup atm (the other side of the car looks like my sig picture).
