Wheel offset question

If I ran a set of 20X9 wheels up front with a +24mm offset and a set of 20X10 wheels in the back with a +48mm offset, would that look OK, or would the rear wheels tuck in too far compared to the fronts? Anyone have any insights?

I can tell my Saleen 7 spokes where the same size. They had a 25 offset in the front, 45 on the back. You should be good.

To have the same front & rear aggressive look, 35mm would look better . Roughly you have a 1" ( 25mm ) larger rim in the back, so about 1/2" on each side ( 12.5mm ) add to your front 24mm, you get around 36mm to keep the same offset look. 48mm will get your'e rear 1/2" tuck in more than the front. Also 35mm on a 20 x 10 won't rub ( depending on tire choice ) . I had that same numbers on previous wheels w/nitto tires with no issue. If you still want to run 48 out back, you should get 35mm for the front to keep the same offset look.

Thanks guys. The wheels I was looking at only come in a +24mm and +48 for the wider rear. I think I'll probably pass, as having the rear tuck in more, just wouldn't look right. If it was the other way around, I'll probably give it a go. Instead, I'll go with wheels that have a better off-set. Thanks for everyone's help!

You can still buy the wheels if you like them, just add a 13mm spacer in the rear ones.
