Hi guys, I am new here and nice to meet everybody!

Currently I've got stock 16" wheels with 60 sidewall on my GS300. Want put a set 18s, but the style I like only got +35 offset, wheel is 18x8.5, tyre 245/40/18. Don't want to shave/roll the fender and drop the car at moment. Will that package fit the car with no rub? 80% of time I got 4 people in my car. Thanks

You should be fine without modding the fenders. How much drop will the car have?

madmax66

dont have any plan to drop the car recently.

front might rub depending on the drop...i have 18x8.0 +30 but I need 225/40/18 to clear the front (bu still rub occasionally)...unless you wanna mod your fenders.

i have 18x8.5 +41 offset with a 225/40 in the front and it is no where near rubbing in the front.

for the rears, i run the same wheels 18x8.5 +41 offset, but with a 25mm spacer. I also have a 225/40 back there and i am a few mm away from rubbing, any bigger tire and i would have been screwed.

the only thing holding you back may be the tires, but for some reason i doubt it

madmax66

looks 235/40 might be safe, isn't it?

Should be a slam-dunk. Rear wheels will be buried in the fenders
(or, should I say, lost?)

Not lowering? Too bad! Wheels without lowering = I would just stay all stock!
Even my Honda Odyssey is lowered!

your 245's will most likely work... i forget that im lowered

Get some 19"s at least. 18"s look too small IMO.

I have 18's on my car now, with stagger, +38 offset all around (18X8.5 and 18X9.5). I run Michelin PS2's in the summer, which I'm told is a "fat" set up, and Bridgestone RE960's for my winter tires. Tire size is 245/40-18 front, 275-35-18 rear. You should be WELL within spec going 18 with my set up.

I'm lowered and have never had a rubbing issue.

First of all I have to agree with some others that have responded to your post, you have GOT to lower your ride if you want it to look right with 18's. My immediate recommendation is to go with Tanabe NF210 springs with Bilstein HD or SP shocks.

Thank you all guys, got a pretty clear idea what to do now, will try avoid the +35 offset. This forums is awesome!

@lpher

Currently running 8,5x19"/9,5"x19" with 35 ET....and the equvivalent to your L-tuned springs...no rubbing whats over here

I run a staggered set-up

18" X 8.5 +35 245/40/18 Dunlop Sportmax up front

18" X 9.5 +35 275/35/18 Dunlop Sportmax on the rear

No lowering ... yet.

I have no rubbing issues up front, the rear rubs slightly when I have a full car and hit a good jounce (i.e. a dip at speed)
