8 +20 would be pushing it, but whatever you're doing, remember that tyres play a vital role in this equation too.

Have you tried measuring? You should be able to figure out most of what you need with your own car and a tape measure.

Alternatively, read this... CR.net

As per your thread:

you need to do alot more research, all will become pretty straight forward once you know what it's all about.
As a reference point, I have:
- 15x6 wheels with +28 offset,
- 205/50 tyres,
- lowered about 7cm
The above combo required guard rolling on the front, rears are fine.

would it be smarter to get the front 1 inch smaller?

It would be smarter to measure your own car for yourself and find out..
