will this wheel size be to aggressive? I know I will roll my fenders, and run a 245 or 255 up front, and I'd like to run a 265 or bigger in the rear,? What do y'all think

If you dont want them to rub you'd definitely have to roll/shave your genders. haha

good stuff you two BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! I like my genders and quarters with pinky tight fitment, oh and tucking as much as possible...wish I could tuck all the way to my (lugg) nuts lol. All joking aside 18x10 final offsets +20/5 was no EZ task but we made it work!!
im looking to purchase a set of es2 varrstoen rims 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. what size tires should i get for fronts and rears??? im on stock suspensions but going to lower the car with godspeed coilovers. can i still drive the car with the es2 rims with tires in stock suspension??? will i need spacers also? i know i have to roll the fenders...
I ended up buying these for my 2001 gs300. My fenders are rolled and I'd like to go pretty low. What tire sizes would be best? Do I need to shave the rears? New to the GS world. Thanks
I have 2 pairs of rear IS350 8.5" wheels and I am looking to run a square setup so I can rotate my tires. Will a 265/40/18 fit in the front or should I go 255/40/18 all around?
Edit: To clarify, I am on stock SportDesign suspension
The 255/40 is probably okay at your height. 265/40 is definitely too big, just in general. I would consider that oversized even by width, for a 8.5" wheel, but it's too tall as well. 265/40-18 is an inch taller than the factory 17" tire size and 1/4" taller than the largest OEM size (215/60-16). 245/40-18 is the ideal size for what you are doing, that's why so many people use it and it's the default +1 size for this vehicle in tire fitment guides.
I've read through this forum as well as some others in the LS400 BBK. I have an 03 GS running on Bremmer Kraft BR07 19x9.5 +35 all around (245/40/19), LS 4-piston calipers w/ .5" spacers, and Front RCA's. Everything else is stock and I'd like to keep it that way as much as possible. I'm planning to pass this car down to my son, therefore I don't have a desire to overly modify the vehicle or spend a lot of $$. The spacers are causing my alignment to be out of whack and resulting in premature tire wear. I thought about abandoning the brakes and reverting back to stock, but I think it would be easier and more cost effective to get wheels that fit properly.
I really need help finding the best fitting wheels. I really want to stay w/ 19's and I'd like to go as wide as possible. A few particulars to mention: I don't want staggered wheels, I can't honesty afford custom wheels, and I don't want spacers anymore. According to my research, LS400 uses +38 offset for oem fitment, but once I plug in the additional width I get lost. Please help
Those wheels are not the correct bolt pattern. You need wheels with a bolt pattern of 5x114.3. Your current tire size is also too big, no wonder you have trouble fitting your wheels. Why do you have 12mm spacers, is it for the spokes to fit over the caliper?
