Will this fit? I was planning to put 205/50 tires.
Any suggestions?

I have fit 8" widths with 35mm fit. 20 is more aggressive, enough you may have rubbing issues.

Can you post a pick from flush with the body at the back of the car? It would be cool to have pic of the poke documented. Thanks

Evidently you do not drive fast (FAST) or you will brush the lips of MISS DEATH with that setup if there is any compliance in the suspension. Get out the ruler,they don't fit SAFELY. If you're looking to fill the wheel wells I run 235/40/17 on 17x7.5 with ET 45. as a comparison.Also car is dropped 2" and doesn't scrape or rub. Backspacing (ET45) is a critical safety angle.

What do u mean by MISS OF DEATH? What would be the safety concern on this setup? Please educate us on what you mean.

MISS DEATH is MONSIEUR CYPHER's cousin.
If you drive FAST and ,no matter how stiff your suspension, your car will tend to oscilate and the cheap plastic wheel arches can become as SHARP as razors and will SLICE the sidewalls,possibly causing an accident. Don't take offense as I was just trying to make you aware of potential life ending experiences.
Try it - it can be a WILD RIDE.

Got you. That makes sense. I didn't take those sharp plastic I actually trimmed off a bit to fit my previous set of wheels/tires into account. Thanks for the warning.
