I was thinking about purchasing som MRR RW4 wheels with custom offsets. What offset would fit the GS best?

19 X 8.5 +?
19 X 9.5 +?

Also dont want to do too much fender work. Shaving and rolling is an option. What tire sizes would you guys recomend also?

Thanks in advance for all the help.

If on springs and shocks, and you want a flush look:
19X8.5 25+ 245/35/19
19X9.5 22+ 275/30/19

If on coilovers
19X8.5 + 22 235/35/19
19X9.5 + 22 275/30/19

W/ the rear set up your going to have to shave the rear fenders unless you want to go up higher in offset.

so for a R:19x10.5+24 with 285/35/19 on the rear, will a roll not be enough? would I have to shave?

Run a 245/35/19 and you'll be good. I have 10.5 +17 for my rears and with a little bit of camber and that setup my wheel will fit.

I used to daily drive an Achilles 245/35 on a 20x10.5+29 with shaved fenders on the freeway. I had about 2 degrees of camber at the time. It's my personal limit, I wouldn't stretch more. I am currently running a Nankang 255/35 on a 19x11+24. You could get by with the 255/35 on a 10.5. Just make sure you don't run a tire brand that runs large.

Edit: I see you have a +24, so you're about 6mm less aggressive than me. The 255 will work, but you're probably going to have to at least run the 2.7 degrees I am, maybe more. I know for sure the 245 would be easy since I had plenty of space when I had the 20s.

Just an fyi i never swapped out my tires. Im running the 275/30 out back on a 19x10.5 +26 and it clears just fine with a shave. Im not crazy low like some guys, but im not by any means high up.

Of course it also depends what tire size you go with...but that should clear with no roll or pull and still look half decent.
I ordered new wheels, doing 20x9.5, 20x13
Did u ever add the rear 20x13??? And what type of feder mods did u have to do?

Anybody know how much MORE the rear wheels "stick-IN" on the 2GS compared to the front?

People said 20mm spacers up front and 35mm in the back in close to flush. (so I'm guessing that the Rear "track" is about 30 narrower than the front...) Sound about right?


(I installed the Exact Motorsports REAR RCA's with my (still, currently) STOCK Suspension- so even though I have the least amount of 'added' + camber, my rear camber is at 0.0% on the dot...

SOOOOO... If any of the PRO's on here that really know about our cars, & offset, specs...etc could help me out I'd really appreciate it. Thanks guys...

Not sure between 25mm or 30mm for the rear. Tough call.
