~New Wheel And Tire Questions~

So I'm looking to get new wheels and tires and I am thinking about the df5 wheels but they only run a 20x8.5 and a 20x10 and I want to get Mickey Thompson Street Comp tires that are 275/35/20 in the fronts and 305/35/20 in the back. My main concern is will a 275/35/20 fit on a 20x8.5, is there a problem with doing that? Another thing is if I were to do 20x10 all around, the offset of the df5's is a +40mm (thats what shows on lmr.com), would that fit the fronts or is that a bad idea? Can someone help me with this it would be much appreciated.

I believe that tire is way to fat for the front wheels. If you want those tires I would try and find a wider wheel for the front

Don't do it, 255 is the widest you can go and still get expected performance on 8.5" wide rim.

Yes it will fit.
No it's not recommended.

Sidewall will bulge, which is not good especially on a front tire due to the cornering forces front tires usually see.
