R50/53 Fitment: Rota Grid

Fitment: Rota Grid
I did a search and didn't come up with much, so maybe someone can chime in with some help?
Bought a set of Rota Grid wheels.
Fronts: 15x7 et20
Rears: 16x8 et20
To my understanding, the offset isn't ideal and is going to show a lot of poke. Also, I was told the 05's have adjustable rear control arms so that would help to pull them in? Can someone clarify this or kinda point me in the direction of fitment?
Car is an 05 DS MCS, stock ride height and everything (Coilovers are on the way)

The set up you have is perfect if your not lowered more than 1.5 inches.
Front you'll have NO problem
Back you'll be .25 to .50 inches inside the fender.
So yeah you'll be fine.
What tires will you be using? I'd recommend frt: 205/50/15 bk: 215/45/16 if the roads are rough...if
you have smooth roads one step lower on profile front and back. Hope that helps

As for lowering, Im not sure yet as the coilovers arent fitted yet but I dont plan on doing any tucking really (not my style) but this is my first coilover set on a car... Used to do cup kits on my other 2 cars (E30 and E46 M3) so I still don't know how low I will eventually go

Running the H&R cup kit on my car with 16's et20. I'm running 195 55's front and rear. Had ziex 918's on all 4 but rubbed a bit in the back. Blew one tire and the other i can't remember. I have cheap chinese tires on the back now as they stretched a bit more, but i'm going to try running the new Ziex 950s at 205 50's. I'll let you know how it turns out.
I'm too lazy to find the link, but if you search my threads, you'll find pics.

The good thing about coilovers are that they can be height adjusted. Mine kit can't.

My car it's self is really low. I'll go take a pic and show you (not so lazy right now). I'm thinking I'll be fine with those same tires you mention, maybe minor rubbing when hitting a big dip (like now) but overall ok.
