Contact MHT directly, they can advise you as well. (the build and distribute Foose wheels) I did a while back and asked the exact same thing, 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rears. They told me then,
"our 20x8.5 comes with either a 4" rear spacing or a 4.5" rearspacing. On the rears, our 20x10 comes with either 4.5" or 5.25" rear spacing. Of course, your dealer would need to do a fitment check first but ...
20x8.5 5x4.75 bolt pattern with 4.5" rear spacing
20x10 5x4.75 bolt pattern with 5.25" rear spacing
would be your best bet.
Thanks again for your interest"

if you are dropped real low, or on drop spindles all that changes. I suggest you contact them and let them know the particulars of the car and see what they say. info@mhtwheels.com

It is going to be close to get a set of tires that look normal on the car. I have a set on my 95 SS Impala. They fit on my Buicks but just not enough tire....

Doesn't sound like they know what they're talking about, 5.25" BS in the rear would likely rub on the inside.

Well if you want to maintain the same overall wheel/tire diameter as stock then yes it's a tug of war with the numbers, bigger wheels = smaller tires.

Check out this Buick to see what 20s look like and see if you like it:

I didnt see any real good pics of the 20" rims.....

Turbo6chicago , I agree, thats why I greatly suggest him getting the car measured at a reputable shop, or find what works on someone elses TR. There are 4-5 on this board w/ them or that have had them. What makes mine a little different is disc rear. I forgot to put that.
As far as fit, 20"s fit fine, the tire is small, be warned (If you plus size correct) 275.30, and 245/35 is a short time, but on a low ride height it looks great. What makes it look funny IMO, is when the car has more tire to fender gap than side wall...it makes the side wall look tiny and the car lifted.

Go with 18's and call it good. They ride nice and look nice. 4.5" BS in the front on an 8" wide rim would be good and a 4.75" rear on a 9.5 would fit well. Its always good to measure first though. Every car is different depending on how the factory set the body. Otherwise notch the frame!!
