20x8.5 wheel with 25mm offset?

so I searched and couldnt find what I was looking for.
Im curious if a 20x8.5 wheel will fit on the front of my e92 with a 25mm offset.
I know this is a very aggressive offset.
The car will be lowered on either H&R sport or race springs.

Anyone have pics of this offset? even on a smaller wheel????

and will this pretty much sit flush in the rear?
thanks

i'm going to take a shot in the dark and say no because you're running a 20" with an agressive offset in the front. I think you need a 245 sized tire if I recall correctly. Being on a 245 with that size wheel...and lowered you will most likely rub.

Also, if you were thinking of just rolling the fenders....be careful, e92 front fenders are plastic.

that will not work in the front because of the offset.

on a 20x8.5 you can put a 235 tire.
