I am looking to purchase a set of 20 inch Foose Spank wheels for my '06.  A couple of questions before I do, will a 20X10 wheel fit? The wheel is part of a package and comes with 275/45/20 tires, anything I need to be concerned about with that particular size tire?  And the now the most important question., the wife is not 100 percent on board with me buying wheels right now but the price for the package is $1799, good price or no?  Since I will probably be sleeping in the spare bedroom after i buy these, I want to make sure I got a good deal.
 
I had 305/50/20's and had just slight rubbing only on extreme turns but it wasn't an issue. So yes they will fit. I would personally go with a taller and wider tire than the 275/45's if you have 10" rims. It will help fill the wheel well a bit better and not ride quite as harsh.

Good luck and I hope the spare bedroom has a comfy bed

20x10's with that tire combonation will fit, however I have to agree with trannyman's quote saying that you may want a taller and wider tire.  I too ran a 305/50R20 on my Av before lifting it with minimal rubbing.  But it was not with a 10" wide wheel, it was with a 8.5" wide wheel.  The extra width would have caused me a lot more rubbing with that same size tire.

Is your Av cladded or WBH?  Answer this Q, and it will be easier to give you the answer(s) you are looking for.  As for the price, yes... I think that is a great price.  But all the great deals wont be worth a darn if what you're buying doesn't fit your Av.

Being that your Av is WBH (WBH models have larger wheel wells), you should be ok with that wheel... however I do encourage you to try to get at least a 295/50R20 for this application.  Proper backspacing is also a must when going to such a wide wheel.  Most people will tell you that your best bet is to go with a 9" wide wheel to minimize any rubbing issues that may come up.  You can get away with the wider wheel as long as you don't go with as tall of a tire.

My best suggestion to you is to test fit the wheel and tire set up so that you can see how much and where the rubbing will be (if at all) and do trimming as necessary.

I was also thinking about getting the same wheels...do u mind if I ask where you were thinking about purchasing this package?  Maybe if you can get another sale there might be a better deal.  Thanks.
 
  i think stock size O.D. is abt 31.60" , that tire size,  275/45-20 is abt  29.74" , almost 2  inch difference.  I dont what , if any problems that may cause, but i think most people stay within abt an inch of stock without having to reprogram anything.  I see you already ordered them so this all may be for naught, anyway just a heads up, Keep Moddin' !!!
