Default Wheel experts, will these work

Anyone know if these will work on a lowered 2GS

2GS, lowered, big brake clearance needed

19x9.5 +32
19x10.5 +29

if they will work, how wide can I go in the rear. Im not really looking for the stretched look, I need to go as wide as possible out back.

If you dont want to stretch then you will need to roll/pull the fenders

If you want to fit a 10.5 with new stretch in the raer with a 275 or 285 then go with a +40 offset

It wouldn't hurt to do a search on other member's wheel setups and do the math

You are probably going to need a mild stretch in the rear like a 275 or 265. GL
