You could try the search function. It's been discussed on here, and at least one member has had 20's on his with no issues.

Do you have side shots of your Malibu lowered with the H&R springs? I'm really curious to see what it looks like with the stock tires/wheels.
I would personally prefer 19's for a more sporty look, but for some reason, tires for 20" wheels are a LOT less than tires for 19's. I think 20x8.5s would look good on a 245 tire. I know Silver_LTZ ran 20's with a 245

I've been waiting for you to chime in! Your LTZ is sick lookin....Where you getting the Lexanis at that price? And what size and back spacing are your wheels in the pic?(5 star ones)
And thanks for all the feed back! I'll try and get a pic of the car to.

Will the +35 offset work on the 20x8.5?

I'm sorry mine is a +38 offset!:)
It all depends on the wheels you pick! Most aftermarket wheel manufactures have set offsets depending on the wheel width and overall size! And if it's front wheel drive or rear wheel drive! The only way you can get a custom offset is if you go with a 2 piece forged wheel or a billet wheel! I believe a common offset for a 20" wheel is a +40... What wheels are you looking at???

I was actually looking at the same 5 star wheel you have by 2 crave,But didn't know you had 22s. I really like the deeper looking lip on them.

lexani tires are not nice tires they are extremely cheap tires, but honestly when going with a lower profile tire on say a 22 or lower than 245/35 20 the tire doesnt make to much of a difference. Ive ran pirelli, falken, nitto, and delinte on 22's and cant tell the difference between then with the exception of the nitto are alittle more reponsive but by much.
