Why not get the right specs in the first place?

yeah, that's perhaps the best way to experiment. I do have some spacers which I may put into the mix as well....I know this community has different thoughts on spacers, but, as a completely stock vehicle I believe it should be aright....

New to this wheel fitment game and didn't feel like searching through 67 pages of replies.
My question is running a squared set up can 9 or 9.5 be place all around? Assuming that staying in the same offset.
I want to run either concaved or deep dish wheels.
Any help is appreciated.

19x11 + 7 / 225/40
19x11.5 0 / 245/35
On air and adjustable arms
i know it’s aggressive just wondering if it’s remotely possible with a pull. Trying to get a flush fitment.

don't post in here much. Current set up is

20x9+32 245 35 20
20x10.5 275 30 20

Looking at a set of 19's and can't decide on tires. I've looked online, CL, and pics and can't determine what will work..
new set up would be

19x8.5 +35
19x10 + 40

Carid recommends 245 35 and 275 30. Should i stay with those specs? Will the 275 30 look to small for rear? Its been years since i had 19's and at the time i had a fat tire setup. 40 front, 35 rear. thanks in advanced..

I know there was a formula used to figure out wheel clearances (before hitting suspension or fender) for the IS300 guys on the MY.IS forum, and I was wondering is there anything like that here for the 2GS?

Trying to stuff 08-09 ISF wheels under my 2GS. Stock suspension and no fender mods at the moment, however will be rolled and dropped in the future... I'm thinking these will fit the stock car now, but can anyone else confirm?

Front:
19x8 +45
245/40/19

Rear:
19x9 +55
265/35/19

Thanks in advance!

Bumping for visibility. If people could use this thread instead of sinking it with a new one for each question, it'd be easier to find. Better yet, can it be pinned to the top?
