Fit Question
Would these fit?
19X9.5
the wheel website said that the 40mm offset will not fit...
as well as the 55mm offset....
but i thought that the range was 35-45....
help?
thanks!

you're gonna need a roll or cut the rear fenders and run 225/35 in the front and 235/35 or 245/35 in the rear

ok guys/gals. i can turn wrenches and do wiring for days but crunching the numbers for wheels makes me so confused.
what i have now
245/35/20 +37 20x8.5
285/30/20 +35 20x10
question is will i be able to use the same tires on the following spec wheels?
20x9 +20
20x10.5 +25
I am on air now and have shaved the rear quarters for those 285's to fit. Will I have to do extensive body work for these to work?
Any insight would be great. Thanks guys/gals

Since you are on air, i doubt ull need to do much more to make these tires fit since u got 25 offsets. The 20x10 would fit tucked and even if the tires were a lil thicker, it would still clear because 19x10 +(10-15) is flush. 285s would fit similar to that size offsets.

Someone please enlighten me as to how you know what all these offsets and jibber-jabber mean. I have tried to understand it from what I've read by searching but I guess I am jut dumb. Some people are running 0 offset and have massive lips while some are running +30 offsets and still have big lips...
Can someone break down how this all works please?
For example, take a 2000 GS300...what 20" wheel/tire/offset can be run to provide the deepest lip while keeping fender mods to a minimum?

So take for example if a wheel has a 0 offset this means the mounting area of the wheel is smack dab in the middle of the width of the wheel.
If the wheel is +30 this means the mounting point is 30mm closer to the front of the wheel. making the wheel sink in 30mm closer to the suspension of the vehicle and giver 30mm more clearance to the fender compared to the wheel with the 0 offset
a negative offset would have the exact opposite effect. So a -30 would mean the mounting point is now 30mm closer to the back of the wheel pushing the wheel out 30mm more than the 0 offset and 60mm more than the +30 offset
For example, take a 2000 GS300...what 20" wheel/tire/offset can be run to provide the deepest lip while keeping fender mods to a minimum?

Yes, you can use the same tires even though the wheels are only 0.5" wide. If you rears are shaved I don't see the wheel fitment being an issue. You may need to adjust your camber a bit to make it fit but no extensive body work. As for the fronts you will definitely need to roll your fenders if not done already

Take for example if you have a 3piece JDM wheel and you have the choice of 9j +35 (High Disk) and 9j +25 (Low Disk). Even thought the lower offset sticks out more than the higher offset the higher offset would have more brake clearance because its a "high disk"
(Note: In this photo O disk would be Low and the R Disk would be High and A Disk would be Normal)
But anyways , all that put aside the lower the offset generally has more brake clearance if they are cast 1 piece wheels so I dont see it being a problem
