I order the wrong offset... Help

I lowered my car with Dinan Performance Springs and installed new wheels and tires.

I went with the TSW Sebring:
Front 20x8.5 ET35 w/ 245/35/20 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
Rear 20x10 ET25 w/ 275/30/20 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

At this point, I have a few options. I can order a few parts and adjust the camber and hope everything will fit or I can order new wheels (which is actually the cheaper option) but I want to make sure they will fit.

If I order 20x10 ET40 will this fit without any rubbing?

275/30/20 on 20×10 ET40 will fit without rubbing and is the rear fitment you should have got originally.

This was my mistake thinking the website I ordered them from would have stopped me since I had entered my car's info.

I guess I can order the new wheels and sell these to someone and recoup some of the cost.

Thanks for confirming these will fit.

Ordering new wheels with the proper offset is the best way to rectify your problem, however I believe you'll have a miserable time selling a pair of 20x10 ET25 5x120 wheels. I suggest asking the vendor if there's any way they can help you out with this.

I ordered new ones this morning w/ a +40 offset. In the end, it was my fault for not confirming and just relying on their system.

I did reach out to them but they are just opening since they are in a different time zone. Maybe I can get some credit for them or something?

yes, admit you made a mistake and see if they can think of any way to help you, maybe like a return for reduced refund/credit or something. doesn't hurt to ask because i feel it'll be a very long time(or never) before you find a buyer for them.

if not, you'll have to find out what other makes and models of cars this fits on and try their forums, or list it on Ebay.

Oh wow, I saw the pictures of your wheel fitment and was going to ask what your offset was. You should also ask them if you can have the offset modified. On my wheels I can modify my offset by 5mm based on the offset I had ordered, confirmed with their rep. 15mm might be a bit much but it might be worth asking if that's an option as well.

I don't want to add insult to injury, but if I were you, I'd go for ET +42 or +45, so the rears wouldn't poke...

I have 275/35 19x10 with ET +40 on my car (no rubbing at all, but I'm at stock height) and personally I would like the offset to be a few mm more.

The 20x10" ET40 fitted with PS4S 275/30/20 doesn't rub. However, there can be slight fender liner rubbing with some other tires.
