Default Will these rims fit a lowered S4?

Will 20x8.5 rims with 245/30 tires fit my lowered B5 S4? I know some people have run 20s but I don't know what kind of issues they've had.

TIA

Default They will rub without some fender rolling/liner triming. May have to adjust ride height as well,

depending how slammed you are. What offset are you looking at? Need ET35 to ET38.

19's will still rub. Have more tire sidewall though than 20's.
