Sanity Check - 20x9 et45 front wheel fitment

[AF Blue]

I am test fitting my new wheels - 20x9
I decided on staggered offsets - et45 front, et30 rear.
I plan to run 245/45/20 tires.

I know I have seen posts of 20x9 et43 ... and all the Edge ST 21x9 et50+(spacers) posts.

None of you guys/gals did any spacers up front ?
My concern is the suspension components up front since new wheels are really close.
I do expect the new tire (245/45) sidewalls to be nearly vertical.

Only reason I am worried is once tires are mounted, wheels cannot be returned.

Your experience can help ease my mind. Thank you in advance.

ok... seeing @Nickd and @Tug Toy posts ... i should be okay.
They are lowered and don't mention front spacers ...

EDIT:
After putting the OEM wheels/tires back on, i can plainly see i should not have an issue.

Glad you found what you're looking for. Be sure to share the results once everything is bolt up

On a side note, how much further outwards do the factory wheels sit compared to the back wheels? I've seen conflicting numbers, but the consensus seems to be 1-1/2 inches.

I will definitely post up once get tires and mounting done - of course via the local Discount Tire

As far as measuring how far out the factory wheels stick out ... not sure.
Eyeballing the OEM setup, i would say the "consensus" of 1.5" is probably good.

At top center of rear fender .. it looks like about a 1" flare.
At same point of front fender .. it looks like about a -1" clip.
Actual wheel track width difference between front/back is .6" -back width being shorter.

My goal was to have the wheel track look even front/back.
I don't mind a little poke (<1") but I don't like the desert runner look for my wanna be ST Hybrid.

I really appreciate all the other pictures folks have uploaded to help with visuals/measurements.

That's awesome to hear! We appreciate the support and thank you for the insight with the factory wheel "stance".

Looking forward to the finished results
