20x10 +18 is pretty aggressive if you ask me...or you can get LM at 20x10 +15 and reverse the lip.

Well, it's too late for an LM

Yes, the 20x10 +18 is "pretty" aggressive, but could be better. Check out this guy's car on 20x10 +20 LM's. He has a 12mm spacer for net offset of +8. He's on a 275/30 tire.

I wonder if he rubs with passengers? I'm running 20x10.5 with 295/25/20 and its aggressive as it is already. The LMR looks sweeeet! congrats

Thank you. He's running a Toyo tire, which has a rounded sidewall so that helps a lot. Also depends on his camber.

I could also run a 285 or 295 tire, but I like the rim to sit flush with the fender, and not the tire. It's a subtle difference, but I prefer it more. For now, I'm going to run spacers. Maybe in the future I'll revisit rebuilding the rims, perhaps if I curb the rim, bend it, etc.

Sure but it will be a while. I have an August production slot. So that makes it an October delivery?

I haven't seen the fronts in person, but from pics they look pretty flush. I won't know until I get the rims on my car. The rears can definitely be pushed out further. Here's a pic of my rear setup on my benz. This is the type of flush I'm looking for:
