They should be the same. What is offset of your current rear wheels?
Me too. I’m still worried about the offset a bit. I hope there isn’t any rubbing.
I am actually a bit worried about your offset too. It also comes down to the tires you get and what their sidewall profile is like. I run the Michelin Pilot Sport series so they have a more flat sidewall. If I ran Pirelli's or tires with a rounded sidewall I would have rubbing. I know because I tried it. The thing is you are pushing it to the max trying to get those tires/wheels in as much as possible. However, if you do have issues, it should not be much and can easily be fixed by adding a 3 or 5mm spacer. You can do that without having to change out the wheel studs (I've done that too). Wish I was around when you are getting these.... I will be in Seattle Dec 6 but only for the evening. ?
If you were here longer, it would have been good to hang out. A spacer is definitely an option. We will see how it goes. I’m guessing it might rub on the shock mount.
That’s a beautiful wheel! I’m looking at the Stance wheel that looks very much like that one. I’m searching high and low for the offset of my current wheels. I guess I really lucked out since I didn’t pay attention to that. I can’t seem to find it anywhere. From what I’m seeing they may have discontinued my particular wheel. It’s the Curva C300 20x10.5. Looking at their other wheels I see numbers in the +35 and 37 range. I may need to message Curva and have them tell me what they are even if they are discontinued now.They should be the same. What is offset of your current rear wheels?
My wheels should be here in a couple of weeks. A local shop order them from a company in China.
This is a picture of the actual wheel.
What size tire is on your Curva 20x10.5 wheel? I assume 295/40/20? I also assume these are only in the rear? Are they fairly flush or have just a very slight poke?
Yes it’s a 295/40/20. I’d have to see if they’re poking out a little or just look like they are with the camera angle. I’ll check when I get a chance. I don’t mind if they poke out a little.
They don't look like much of a poke. Also depends on your camber in the rear. I go with a slightly more negative camber in the rear around -1.5-1.8 so mine look fairly flush and they have a +47 which is what yours looks like.. Take a straight edge like a broom stick handle or long 4' level and place against the bottom of the tire in the middle then up against the fender trim and see what you have, poke or inset and how much. They should be stamped on the wheels on the inside barrel or on the back side of the spokes or hub. It won't be easily read. Need to pull off the wheel to find it.Yes it’s a 295/40/20.

I’ll do it when I get out of work today. Meant to mention that I’ve been using the Toyo Proxes STIII tire.
Offset refers to how your car’s wheels are mounted and sit in the wheel wells.I’ll do it when I get out of work today. Meant to mention that I’ve been using the Toyo Proxes STIII tire.
Can you tell me what offset I should be looking for and I’ll be sure to find the right one? Again, I don’t mind if it pokes out a little if that makes a difference. To be honest I’m not even clear on what the numbers mean or why off set it’s important!
Not easy to show in a photo but the rear pokes out maybe 1/4” and the front is inset maybe 1/4”.Offset refers to how your car’s wheels are mounted and sit in the wheel wells.
Zero wheel offset is when the hub mounting surface is in line with the centerline of the wheel.
Positive wheel offset is when the hub mounting surface is in front (more toward the street side) of the centerline of the wheel.
Negative wheel offset is when the hub mounting surface is behind the wheel centerline. “Deep dish” wheels are typically a negative offset.
Since I started installing a staggered wheel setups on my Mach-E in early 2021, many members have gone with my original setup which was Front 20"x9" 34 offset 265/45/20 tire and Rear 20"x10.5" +47 offset 295/40/20 tire. I will assume yours is similar to this. Some went with a different front wheel setup 20"x9" +34 offset 255/45/20 tire.
Do you know what size wheels and tires you have in the front? Is the poke or flushness of the tires similar in the front as it is in the rear? I'm willing to bet you have the same or similar specs I have used over the last three+ years.
Edit: meant to add, that because of the staggered setup, you have different offsets in the front and rear. You want the tires to to be/look the same front and rear either all flush, inset or with a slight poke. Since the front wheel/tire are narrower, we need to bring them out a bit more than the rear to sit the same as the rear's do so they have around a +34mm offset. The rears have a +47 offset which with a 10.5" wheel and 295 tire, fit just about flush. The inner sidewall of the 295 rears are close to the rear upper shock mount so you don't want to go with anymore of a positive offset than 47. Does this all make sense?
265/45/20 with a 9" wheel up front with a +33 offset will bring that front out flush and more match the rear. If your rears are sticking out 1/4" then the offset is probably around +40 or so, not +47 as they should be to be flush. Thing is, the wheels I get and Steve (HuntingPudel) and quite a few others, are custom made/ordered wheels so we can get the exact fitment we want. If you don't go with custom ordered wheels, you may have to find a set that can get as close to 20x9 +33 up front and 20x10.5 +47 in the rear. We can help you with this so keep us informed how it's going in your search.
