Default Wheel fitment

Looking at buying a set of F14 Forgestar wheels. I wanna know, will 20x12 wheels with a 50mm offset fit the stock rear suspension and wheel well? Not worried about the tire poking out a bit cause I'll probably go wide body in the future, just wanna make sure I don't buy them and then have to send them back cause they scrape the inner wheel well.

No, they shouldn't hit on the inside but if you plan on going widebody, why not wait and buy wheels with the correct offset?

What do you think would be the correct offset?

Somewhere around +35, depending on what fenders you choose. A 12" width with +50 offset is a widebody C6 fitment.

Okay thanks, probably will end up going with a different wheel then. Can’t find any Forgestars in the size I want.
