New Member 08 GS350 build (Help Me)
Hey guys, I'm new to the club Lexus forums, and I'm not very tech savvy but I need some help with my build. I have an 08 GS350 RWD. I picked her up a few months ago with 73k on the clock. She's a little rough but I want to build her up. So I'm running into issues already with my tire rim combo. I'm running Rotiform BLQ's 19x8.5 with Continental 255/35 all around. I also have a set of H&R spacers to clear the brakes. She looks good but even after Rolling the fenders I get some rub on the rear when I hit dips. Should I go a different setup? I want to lower the car on BC coilovers but it's already rubbing and I imagine going lower will aggravate the rubbing issue. Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The offset is 38. So the 2 bottom pictures in the wet are with wider spacers. The 2 top ones are with smaller H&R spacers that give me a flush fit, but cause vibrations because they're a different design. They dont bolt on like the wide spacers

I’m thinking the wider spacers are why you’re rubbing in front and over dips is probably because the struts are original and there on there way out I run 275 35 19 in back and 245 40 19 in front and no rubs and I’m lowered but I replaced all four struts but I think the spacers are not helping and the offset might be the issue too the spacers with the bolts are prob hub centric and the small ones are not are you using hub rings ?

Thanks man. I'll try buying some hub rings to see if it helps any. At low speeds its minor but highway it's more noticeable.
