Default Swap Sport Techno wheels for S wheels, fitment issues?

I am thinking about about selling the Sport Techno wheels that came with my car and swapping in a set of platinum S wheels in their place, but they are a different size and offset than the ST wheels (ST's are 0.5 inches wider). If I re-use the same tires, will this cause any fitment issues?

ST wheel specs:

Front - 20x9 51mm offset - 245/35/20 tires
Rear - 20x11.5 68mm offset - 305/30/20 tires

S wheel specs

Front - 20x8.5 51mm offset
Rear - 20x11 70mm offset

These should go fast! Tires will be fine. Check fronts. I thought they were 245/35/20.

You're right, I thought 45 sounded too big. They are 245/35/20's up front.

All S models run 245 upfront and 295 in the rear. All 4 Wheel Drive models have a 305 in the rear. All sport techno tires run a 305 rear.

Keep the Technos!

The Carrera S are 11" rear. Can you put 305's on there anyway?

Must say, Techno's are the best OEM style

Lexvan,
Can you help me or provide a good source, to understand the ET measurement on the wheel? Will that ST that he has be a correct fit on a C4s?
Thanks for any assistance!

Keep the ST's I LOVE mine, but if you sell them, they will go super fast. The S wheels are super common. BUT the platinum ones look super nice. There will be no issues with fitment.

I actually have 14mm spacers on the rear and 7mm spacers on my front.
