With the fenders shaved you should need no work. 19x9.5 +20 all around 245/35 and 275/30 rear and a roll up front and shave rear. Achilles as well no rub.

Anyway I'm looking at a 19x10+25 all around, will it give me trouble? I don't have a problem getting my fenders pulled or rolled. I'm also looking at 19x9.5+12 cause I was told those wouldn't be a problem at all. I'm planning to lower the car on coils after I get the rims if that makes a difference.
The 19x9.5 +12 and the 19x10+25 are going to sit with the fender the same. Even though they are different widths the offsets make the outer width of the rim virtually the same. Also with those offsets youd be dealing with the same issue as shino above.
I could be wrong though, its been a while since ive been in the rim game.

Opinion on what? Whether or not it'll fit or if we think itll look good? Please elaborate on what your looking for. Itll fit and will be better than stock depending on what wheels you get and what look your going for but these offsets arent that aggressive

Default Will this fit?

I have the MRR HR3s in a 20x9.5 with 35 offset and tires are slightly stretched 225/35. I just recently bought 25mm spacers for the rear and I was wondering if any fender work will be required? Im lowered on the Tanabe sustecs if that matters.

hey guys have a couple questions. I just recently purchased some 20x10 +35 front and 20x11 +35 rear. I am going to space them as needed to achieve the look I want. What I was wondering was if a 275/30/20 for the rear would work? And what do you guys think of that size? and i thought of a 255/30/20 for the front? also, will it fit and what do you guys think? Rears have been shaved completely and fronts have been rolled. Any help would be appreciated.. Thank you!

Default Need help regarding tire offset

im thinking about buying some rims off craigslist but im not sure if the offset will fit.
-Fronts: 20x8.5 (offset +20)
-Rears: 20x10 (offset +25)
will these extend out too much?
My car is stock height and i dont want any fender mods.

with those wheel specs you might have to use a lower profile tire

if you were lower you would deff have to roll the fenders. being stock height you can probably get away with it as long as your profiles are huge.

About to make the switch from an sc300 to a gs300. Curious if my wheels from my Sc will work well on the gs. 20x9.5+13/20x11+19. How much work should I expect on the gs platform?? If too aggressive the I guess I will sell/trade for a more appropriate set. Trying to not run anymore than 4degrees out back and 3 up front. What you gs pros think?

Nice.. Now I did a pull on my Sc. All I've ever done in the past are pulls. Would you mind going into depth on shaving? Is it as it sounds... Shave the lip that would usually be rolled flat? If so, any problems with the layers of the panel separating?

Just shave till a little nib is left, or you can keep going. My sidewall split, i put a thin layer of jbweld and has been fine.
