i sell rims at my work. in my experiance, the rim wholesalers dont really know what will fit and what will not.

some times we do the following to reduce scrub.
pull fender liners.
roll fenders--extreme cases.
install a narrow tire.
wheel spacers.


we inspect first and do which ever in neccesary.
you will usually see marks were its hitting.

You need to find the offsets of your wheels which is on the inside of your rims and that will determine what size tires you can use.

20X8.5 really shouldn't rub. Is it the front of the back? Spacers should really help.
