I recently got new niche wheels which are 20x9 +35 in the front and 20x10.5 +40 in the rear equipped with 275/35 the front and 295/35 in the rear and I’m on stock suspension
The front looks perfect but rear is poking out of the fender wall and I’m not sure if i got wrong wheel size or something as this is the first time i get after market wheels.
Is there i way to make the tyre sit inside the fender wall? I read that this can be fixed with some camber but I thought 40 offset would not need camber

thanks

The rear offset is wrong. Nothing you can do except getting new wheels. Sorry for the bad news
You say that the offset was 20, why do you mention 40 ?

Sorry the post had a typo
Offset is 40
The wheel is 20 inches by 10.5 and the offset is 40

If you look from above, at the top of the fender, how much do the tire stick out?
And do it on both sides

The face of the tyre and alittle bit of the tyre lines
Also i think it’s more on the left that the right side
I did get an alignment but they didn’t touch the camber as they didn’t know how to do it and wouldn’t listen to the the instructions of how to do it
Should i add camber and if so how much is the factory/recommended camber on the rear?

My 20X10.5 wheels have a + 45 offset and I think it perfect with 305 tires. A 5mm difference shouldn't be that big a deal. Your pictures are too close to get a good perspective of how they look. . I think your car probably looks pretty good. Show some more pics from a distance with a few angles.

Yeah you can go as high as 2.0 degrees of camber in the rear before you start to loose too much rear grip. More camber will help them tuck /a little/, maybe 1/3” more tucked than you currently are.

It’s night time where i live now im going to take more pictures in the morning
The car looks almost perfect
In the front it’s perfect but from the back it is poking from above about 3 to 5 centimeters but it does not rub so I’m trying to find a way to make it sit inside the fender wall so that it looks perfect

What is Ford’s recommended camber and how much camber can i go without having uneven tyre wear?

Did they tell you what the rear camber is currently set to?
Is this a base GT, no PP1 or 2?

Rear camber factory is -1.4 to -1.6.
Did they give you the settings they read with their alignment machine?
If not, find a different shop.
