If you send a PM to the 2013 owner in the thread linked below, he may be able to answer the questions you have. These are Alcoa's, and 12", so I would guess the offset would be the same, just in a different wheel brand/design.

To do a 12" wheel and keep a relatively good look, without sticking out too far, you would need something around a 63 offset. Anything we do in that offset has to be a 3-piece. Most monoblock blanks would not be that shallow on the front side. We relocate the bump stop, but otherwise its a nice fit.

.... just checked, I'm told "nobody" makes a monoblock blank that could accommodate that offset in a 20x12. We could always do a 20x11 and then have it widened an inch.
