Default 19x9 +30 (245/35/19) abd 19x10.5 +29 (275/35/19)

19x9 (f) +30 front with a high disc, 245/35/19


19x10.5 (r) +29 rear with low disc, 275/35/19

I know another wheel question, but how would this fit on a 2GS w/o fender mods?

The rear is a big iffy,, but i am willing to change to a smaller tire for the wheels to fit.

What do you guys think?

Part of the issue with the rear will be the tire height.
275/35-19 is about 1" taller than stock, so that doesn't help.

I think most guys with aggressive offsets like this are using 265/30-19,
narrower and shorter which helps a lot. Even a 275/30-19 would
help quite a bit.

That being said, trimming the rear fenders really isn't that big of a deal.

It's not like you're taking a sawzall to a $1.5M Bugatti Veyron or anything...

To fit that rear tire you would need to shave the fenders. I have the 10.5 +29 with a 245 tire with just a roll

What's the difference between high-disk, low-disk, etc? I never came to understand that.
