Noob rims/tires help.

Alright. I cant take the searching and reading and understanding cause it just doesnt make any sense to me. What i am wanting to do. 20" X 8.5" Incubus Shylock rims all the way around. What bolt pattern i am looking for?? 5 x 114.3 ???? I cant find what offset the Shylocks are .. I believe they are 35 mm offset .. and i have no idea what tires to put on. I guess i need the offset before i know what width or height to buy.. i dont know ..I just need a tire that is going to fill the wheel well and look good. If i have to lower it. Hey. Its only money. Someone Please help me.

Tirerack has the bolt pattern listed as 5x114 not 114.3. My front wheels are 18x8.5 and 35 mm offset. I'm running 255/45 Nitto 555 on them. They are a bit wider than the wheel so they do bulge out a bit giving it that old school look. They are also nearly the same height as the stock 18" tire. I don't know of a tire that will work well on the 18x8.5 and take up your fender gap with stock suspension??? My car is lowered 1.6" in the front and there is still a gap, but is much more tolerable
