Default Please help with correct size!!!!

I just got my wheels from house of wheels 19x9.5 and 20x11 the fronts are 57 offset and fit perfect but the rears backspace is 8.48 when I put just the rim on and the car lifted, the clearance is about 1/4inch if not less by the wheel well and I don't know if i need spacer, and don't know what size tires I should get, I am ordering tomorrow Hankook Ventus v12
I have the car lowered about an 1.75 inch and don't want rubbing. Please help.

I think the proper offset for a C5 with 20x11 rims is 64. Not sure about the 8.48 backspace. I would call House of Wheels and make sure they sent you the correct rear wheels before mounting tires on the rims.

Sounds like a plan. Does anybody know what off set is with 8.48 backspace?
