I think the fronts need a higher offset or they will hit the large brake calipers. I'm running a 35 offset and its centimeters away from hitting.

The lower the offset the MORE it pushes the tire out away from the caliper. 20x9 et 25 would be perfect! Same on the rear. Both should fit and look good!

I also believe that that depend on the brakes, since the blue M brakes are larger than regular ones.

Sites like that are great and I use them. Problem is that they aren't able to provide the additional clearance availability of every car.

It's quite easy, measure the current clearance for the suspension strut and brake caliper, and poke distance to the wheel arch, and that site will tell you how those measures will be affected with the new wheels.
