Nicely looking wheel.But as Jay said,because of the deep dish that wheel on the car will look smaller than 20".
To be close to the oem wheels offset,you will need ET 45 front and ET30 rear
but you will get way with other offsets!This is also related to what size tyres you will be getting!Let us know the Offsets of this wheel and we can advise you further.
Regarding the tyres,You cannot have different height tyres on the front and rear!295/45 has a larger diametre than 285/45.Also these tyres that you mentioned will make you car ride much higher than your oem tyres and will give you speedo error and as they are between 28-35mm over the oem rolling diameter!
Oem 20" tyre set up,as you may know is 275/40 front and 315/35 rear,which as you say is too thin for your NYC area.In this case,you will find that the 295/40 is is adequate for your needs as some of the members here with similar road conditions also use it.
Have a look at this thread where a member has 295/45 fitted.
