    New rims?

    Are not readily available...
    These will fit, but....
    Will a 275 x 55 x 20 fit?
    and is the offset that critical?

    They definitely fit on 8.5" rim. I have that size on my 20x8.5 L322 rims and it's the median recommended width for most manufacturers for the size.

    I don't recall the std offset but the spoke clearance on the callipers needs to be adequate too, so either a test fit or if someone knows about those specific rims.

    Factory 20" are 47 offset on 8.5 rims
    Factory 21 and 22 are 49 offset on 9.5 rims

    I'd be thinking that with 35 offset the tyre would foul the upper control arm

    For the same rim width the lower offset has the rim further out, not in.

    So... a 20 with only a 35 offset will be closer to the lip of the guard on compression? but further away from the V of the control arms?

    Yes. Note that the rim will turn a wider radius so the tyre's outside edge will get closer to the liner at the front on hard left lock and to the liner at the rear on hard right lock.
