Hey all,
Nice to see others who dig their rides. (BTW, I'm rep-ing Toronto.)
I need some help: I'm thinking of installing 20" rims on my 1998 GS 300. The car is bone stock. I'm thinking of the following setup:
Rims:
20 x 8.5"
32 mm offset
5 x 114.3
Tires:
Front: 225/35/20
Rear: 245/35/20
Again, the car is currently running the stock suspension. I don't have the denaro (aka cash money) for upgrading the suspension, at least not now.
Can anyone tell me, if this setup will cause any rubbing of the fenders? Will the 245's fit in the rear? Is the 35 profile too high, if so should I run 30 profiles? Will I need to roll the fenders?
I've called a few wheel & tire joints & done research on the web. Basically, I've been told "the setup should cause no issues" to "don't do it, go with 19's". However, the price difference between 19's & 20's is minimal, and I've heard 19's are not being made by many wheel makers.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks all for the info. I will ask for help in the other forums.
Black_gs99, you mention selecting a different size of rubber. What size do you recommend?

if you want to have that staggered look you can go with 245/35/20 in front rolling dia. 26.8" and have 275/30/20 in the rear 26.5" rolling in the rear. Those would work because your staying within the limit of your factory rolling dia at 26.2" so it won't throw off the speedo or ruin your ABS or computer
