What offset are your wheels? 20 rear and 12 front works well on oem fitment wheels, but yours are aftermarket

If you're lowered, which I believe you are, then I'd stick with 10mm front as for me that was literally the limit. It rubbed a tiny amount and after the liner wore a fraction of a mm it didn't rub anymore. Personally, I wouldn't add a load more on the back compared to the front, as even though there's room if you make the rear axle relatively wider it'll introduce more understeer.
