I run a 20x9 +50 offset. Face of the wheel sits perfectly flush with the front fender. +44 is going to be aggressive.

same here - mine are 20 x 9 +50 and they are pretty aggressive but completely fine. Much more aggressive and i expect you will have some substantial fender work or major problems...

That seems to look pretty close to perfect. I stumbled across a picture of a GT2 with the same exact wheels as mine. Seems to look pretty solid to me, what do you guys think?

Those look good as well... I wouldn't guess that Vorsteiner would sell an offset that doesn't work since the offsets are standard so you should be ok.

The only thing i would want to know is what tire setup is on that car just to be sure he's not running an odd size that would lead to issues with the AWD system on the turbo - definitely don't want to fry that and GT2's don't have to worry about that.

I hear you, i've done a lot of research making sure i kept the overall diameters for the front and back as close to stock as possible. So i guess my plan now is to just wait for my tires to come and mount them. Hopefully it wont be too aggressive for the car.

Good news and short answer. YES, you can run them without any issue.
I'm running 20x9 et40 with 245 tires and lowered on H&R springs. No rubbing at all. Also the forum member "moacur" used to be running 20x9 et45 with 7mm spacers(equivalent of et38) and he said he never rubbed. You can see the pics of his car here.

Perfect! Thanks a lot for posting. Both of your cars fitment looks amazing. I also noticed you have front fender flares, that was gonna be my next purchase if i thought the wheels stuck out too far.

Yes although my tires don't rub, they stick out the fender little bit so too aggressive for my taste. That's why I installed GT2RS fender flares and now they are perfect!

Your car looks sick. I'll be sure to post pics of mine once my tires come in.
