Default Offset question..

Hi. I was wondering if anybody could tell me if this offset would work on a 01 gs 300.. The wheels are 19. 9.5 +12 in the front and 19.10.5+15 in the rear.. Thanks..

Is the car lowered? Those are pretty serious offsets.

what coils and how low? and what size tires? If you can provide this information I can tell you what you'll need to do.

Basically anything under a 20 offset is probably gonna require a pull of the rear fender, and at least a shave of the front fender lip.

being +12 and +15, those are super aggressive. Depending on tire sizes you might need even more fender work, or need to raise the car a little.

fenders pulled and and lots of camber with stretched tires . Or you can have the fenders done by a body shop , so you dont have to run much camber

It's aggressive, but you just need to get the car low, mod the fenders, and stretch the tires. If anything the rear fender will need to be pulled maybe 5mm. It will be flush. Those are perfect offsets for a stock bodied 2GS IMO.

K. Kool, thanks guys... I'm just buying the wheels right now so, there no tires yet.. Not really sure what tires I'm going to run either.. The wheels are off a 350z..

they're at the extreme end of what a stock bodied 2gs can take but can be made to work. tyre wise i'd say you'll need all the stretch you can get so maybe 225/35 and 235 or 245/35
