Forgiato wheel offset
Since we just received our new HTC with Tridents that are too far inboard, we're preparing to order new wheels and tires. The goal is to lower the vehicle 1 inch (tools and lowering kit already purchased), then fill the wheel wells with rubber and 20" on the front; 21" on the back.
We are novices. Our understanding is the factory sizes are 19" with 52mm ET (whatever that means) on the front, and 20" with 64mm ET on the rear. The assumption is that about 15-20mm different "ET" would create a better stance and push the tire further outward.
The distributor says they can order the Forgiato wheels and Michelin tires, but wonder whether those of you with fitment experience can offer offset suggestions? I believe the suggested wheel / tire combinations are: 20"x9.5" with 255x30 on the front, and 21"x11 with 315x30 on the rear. We do NOT want the wheels or the tires to extend beyond the body. Any help to solve this riddle is appreciated.
Thank you.

19x9 +36
20x11+40
those are my specs. Reused stock z51 tires. Flush setup. There are wheel calculators on google where you can compare my setup to your 20/21 setup and figure out offsets.
Hope this helps.
