Hi Gang,
I recently bought a 2004 GS300.
Have you or someone you know ever tried this and if so how did it work out, any rubbing, etc:
TIRES: 275/45/20
Mounted on:
20" Low-Set 20X8.5 Rims
According to a website where I'm about to buy these from THEY CLAIM TO FIT (discountedwheelwarehouse.com).
The wheel area is 100% stock! no mods, camber, caster, toe, etc.
Your insight and any advise would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Czr =)

Depending on the offset they "may" fit... but a 45-profile for a 20 is entirely too tall, as is a 275 too wide for an 8.5 (on a 2gs at least). I'm also fairly certain those tires will rub in the front.

Hmmm, well I deff want Low-Off-Set 20"'s so I'm going to have to look at tire packages. I agree with you that 275 width is excessive. The most I dare to go is a 235 tire width.
As for the height, since I can't afford to Airtek suspension I just want to "fill it in" as best as possible, nah mean!?!
Maybe a 40-45 mm tire height will do nicely.
BTW - got any parts to sell ?

Anyway - you need to do some reading on tire specs. The sidewall height is an aspect ratio, not a measurement in millimeters.

So the 20 X 8.5 inch wheel is not the problem, the tire size is.
Whats the widest and lowest tire that will comfortably fit ?
Thanks !

I think I understand. I deff want low-offset wheels, every website I look at says low-offset 20" wheels will fit.
These wheels won't be sticking out beyond the fender to much will they ??

...and don't believe what those websites are telling you, do some research to find out what fits and what doesn't.

Low offset is a really generic term. Find actual offset numbers and search this forum for the size and offset you're considering and find out whether it will fit and what tire size is recommended. There's over 15 years of knowledge and experience with the 2GS in this forum, use it to your advantage.
