The offset is basically what you have to do so the wheel center clears the brakes. If you're getting custom 3-piece forged then any company that makes them should be able to give you the offset necessary for clearance. It's going to depend on what style center you choose. They can adjust the depth of the inner and outer rim to fit the wheel well once you choose a center style.

You'll notice on the Savini and others with a deep lip the centers curve back quite a bit towards the outer rim to enable that "deep" look. You'll have to find centers you like that follow that type of curve; that dictates the look of lip depth more than anything else.

I have 19" x 9.5" in the front and they fit; it's tight but they fit. Don't know about a 20. Here's what mine look like just for visual reference:

The 300 is on air bags, so when it's laying frame, or close to it, the wheels tilt in slightly allowing the fender lip to clear the top of the tire.

IMO HellaFlush set up would look badass on the 5th Gen. It would be kinda hard to do tho.

Savini has a 6" lip available in 22" wheels... fits *ONLY* V6 though. My Savini run a 5" lip bc of Brembo's clearance. The Orange Camaro above is running a 7" lip, which is what I was going to get, but shortening the axle was well into $2k!!! Plus you have to change the rear LCA...

Does that car have any rear shocks? It looks like it's got less than 1" of possible travel.
