What offset for '07 with 20's ?

[Mike10]

Hey guys,
I'm looking at putting 20 x 8.5's rims with 275/45/20's on my 2007 XLT.
I want the wheels to be flush with the fenders and not stick out.
One shop I talk to says 35mm offset, while anothe says 18mm offset.

Does anyone know what offest will work best ?

I had a set of 20" wheels on my 04 explorer and the offset was 30mm and they were even with the wheel wells.So 30mm or 35mm will be fine.

35 mm offset is the best choice for you. Might I recommend some tires for you? What brand were you thinking about purchasing?
