The fault is not even mine as even the invoice he gave me was for the ET35/45.
Hankook ventus tires just came through smh.
245/35 and 285/30
I used some online offset calculator and its saying I will get 23mm poke with the ET20. That's a whole 2cm. Even looking at my stock 17 wheel another 1 cm will make it flush. 2cm is way too much.
Thanks again.

OK I see. Distant dealer is a problem. The initial invoice ET35/45 was just a standard one, and we knew what to do: spacers, however this is extra cost plus another set of longer lug bolts.. Good to hear you've got the tires.
Online calculation was not correct, with 9" the ET20 pokes 5-6mm, ET25-26 will be fine.
You can try another dealership. Maybe call Vertini Wheels UK

Wheel factories hate to deal with the individuals (you see why), but normally every modern tire shop can be a customer representative between you and the factory.
Good luck
