New Wheels Fit Help Please!
After much searching, I'm still not positive. Can someone who knows please tell me if these rims will fit my 04 coupe without any issues:
Front wheels, 18" x 9.5" +53 offset
Rear wheels, 20" x 10.5" +56 offset
both sizes are 5 on 4.75" bolt pattern
Also, any thoughts on that big of a stagger? 18's and 20's? Love the look of the 18 & 19 combos I've seen, and love the look of the 19 & 20 combos I've seen, but haven't seen too many 18's with 20's. After the math I can do this setup for less money than an all 18" setup, so I'm strongly leaning towards this, but looking for some added confidence from the forums!

I think the offsets on those wheels are fine for your car.
However, I would never, in a million years, go with a 18/20 wheel setup on any car.
...and you may even have issues with your active handling/trac off lights coming on.
If I were you, I would go with 18/18, 18/19, or 19/20 setup (with the correct offsets of course).

I think those wheels have pretty good offsets to fit well on your car.

just watch tire sizes if going 18/18 or 19/19

Ok, decided against the 18/20 combo and went with 18x9.5 and 19x11. Now, for the fronts I think 265/35-18 is the correct size, but not sure on the rears. Will 315/30-19 fit without rubbing or causing problems? Or should I go 305/30-19s? Or would any other sizes be better?
Thanks again for the input!

You should go to a wheel shop where they can mock it up and measure it out for you to let you know what exactly will and won't fit. You don't want to spend big $ on wheels and tires and then go to put them on and figure out that you got the wrong sizes.
I'm running 18x9.5/19x11 and picked 275/35x18 and 305/30x19 Michelin Pilot SuperSports and I LOVE how they fit and drive.
