Default Post widest wheel/tire fitments on gs300!

I recently installed 20x9 +35 and 20x10.5 +48 Vossen type 84 with 245/30-20 and 285/25-20 tires. I still want wider! Post the widest rim/tire fitments. The more info the better.

do you mean you want a wider rim or a more aggresive wheel that sticks out more, lower offsets?
Personally on a GS300 that isn't modded ie no 2JZ-GTE/3UZ, there isn't any need to get wider than what you have, 10.5inch. It reduces the performance.

look up Shane's GS, also i think Glenn 'RMMGS4' has an 11inch rear wheel.

I run a 305/30-19 on the rear and I still have serious traction issues. I'm going to upgrade to a wider rim with less agressive offset so I can possibly fit some 325 meat back there. I don't care so much for agressive fitment as much anymore. I've decided that I'm building my car as a racecar rather than a show car. If that still doesn't solve my traction issues then I'll just roll full time on drag radials. I don't daily drive my car so it's not that big of a deal for me.

245 on an 11.5! Sick. I don't know about stretching them that much. I would love to run an 11.5 on back and a 10 on front.
