Question 25MM Spacers w/ GS350 245/40/18

Hello All,

I searched but did not find any specific answers.

I have a GS300 w/ GS350 wheels & tires. Lowered on Tein S-tech.

I plan to add 25MM spacers on all four corners. I would like to ask if i may pose any issues for the front and rear with these spacers. I do not want to do any fender mods.

The spacers i plan to buy comes in 15MM and 25MM.

Thank you

id do the 25mm in the rear but leave the front alone if it were me, the fronts already seem to be pretty flushed. If anything a 5mm on the front to avoid serious modifications to the front fenders.

I just found some offset information.

Looks like 3GS 18x8 wheels have +45MM Offset.

If i were to go 15MM and 25MM,

Front will be 18x8 +30MM w/ 245/40/18
Rear will be 18x8 +20MM w/ 245/40/18

Now looking at the +20MM, deng that is aggressive!!!!! I hope no fender mods required.

What type of wheels and tires? Did it require you to do fender mods? Also, is your car lowered?

Thank you

I had custom widened LS430 5 spoke 18" wheels with Tein springs and 255/40R18 front & 295/35R18 rear tires (9.5" & 10.5" rims). I also had the spacers with the stock 16's as well as a set of GS350 10 spoke 17's with 245/45R17's. No rubbing at all and no fender mods.
