Default Wheel offset

I was wondering if anybody can tell me how big and wide of a wheels i can put on my car before it start to rub or cause modification to it and the number of the off set all help will be greatly appreciated

the car is a 2000 Lexus GS and yes the car will be lower i know that the height of the car is a factor of the wheels and the tires too but i just want to go as big as i can without doing little or to no modification to it at all.... thank

Depends on suspension and how much camber your willing to run, If your willing to roll the fronts and shave the rears I can give you the exact specs to be flush .

Without any fender or suspension modifications I would say the largest you can put on and still stay within proper specs would be 20x9 front and 20x10 rear with an offset of anywhere from 35-45.

For those who are looking for a "flush" setup, this is pretty weak fitment. But if you're looking for the widest wheels to fit the widest tires possible this should set you on the right track.

I was curious about this also. I'm getting coilovers and I want to just roll and shave fenders to have a simple flush look.

Remember fellas , It also depends on how low you are The lower you are the more aggressive you can go. Also depends on how much your willing to stretch the tires. For instance, 19x9 +10 and a 19x10+10 can be done with a roll in the front and a shave in the rear with some camber and stretch (215/35 and 235/35) tires. And that with tucking tires. If your running coils and have no finger gap and fenders are above the tire add 5mm's to those offsets

I can tell you now that I'm not really into stretching tires. You know how NYC streets are, this is a daily driver but I do like like driving low.

20x8.5/20x10 5x114 Black Opal Offset 25/r 36/f
Privat Rennstadt


What can I do with these rims? Do I need to add spacers,,blah blah blah???? A Novice asking a Professional low rider.
