Default Aftermarket Wheels Question??

I am sure this has been asked and answered a million times but I couldn't find what I was looking for. So here goes. I know that aftermarket wheels can be bought that correct the offset so we don't need Paragon Spacers not too mention being much more aesthetically pleasing. Will 20's fit on the front and 21's on the back? Does anyone know the exact specs there in terms of offset and size so that the wheel lines up with the fender similar to stock wheels with the Paragon spacers? Maybe examples? Thanks in advance.

Yes, 20/21 is a very common aftermarket fitment. Usually 20x9 and 21x12, but some companies even going as wide as 21x13. Offset will vary based on width.

Depends on the brand and style but lot of wheels out there to plug and play with no spacers.

For example, Vossens are popular.

We have Titan7 TD6 in stock ready to ship as well.
