Hi, everyone.
I've been looking for the wheel of my dream... and i guess i found one.
I've just got a guy who is willing to sell his Varianza T1-S wheels. However, the size is as followed:

Front 19 x 9 et30 Rdisk
Rear 19 x 10 et35 Odisk

What's Rdisk and Odisk?
Do you think it will fit my GS300 '06?
Will it rub if I drop it with NF210????
I really don't want to roll the fender though....
Please help me guys...

unless you do fenders, otherwise you are likely going to rub

dont risk it man, plus you should do 20's for best overall look imho. If you are set on them then I would listen to rominl. he knows whats up when it comes to fitment

[ant]

R Disk is big brake caliper clearance (less dish and concave on the rim face)
O Disk is Deep Dish version, less caliper clearance, maximum dish/rim concave

Those offsets are very aggressive for the 3GS but since they are 19, it should work with low profile tires. I remember seeing a member with 20x9, 30 offset Work...either VS XX or Resax and he didn't complain of problems. He did sell the wheels though. Yours are 19 and there should be more room to work with.
Bottom line, I think it would work but I wouldn't do it.

also, since you have gs300, the r disk up front won't really matter to you coz' you don't have bbk, unless that's your plan down the road

the debate between 19s and 20s really should be addressed clearly. just saying between 19s and 20s ad say 19s will have more room is not a true statement. it depends on the tires, that is the key. with 19s, for example, a lot of people run 245/35 and 275/30. with 20s, some people run overspec 245/35 and 275/30. that is what caused a lot of rubbing issues, not because of 20s

on the other hand, if you run 245/30 and 275/25? you will be just fine if the spec are the same as the 19s.

case in point, my friends run 20s with overspec tires. i run 20s with spec tires, and my car is lower than theirs. i have far less rubbing than any of them.

in terms of fitment, the offsets on those 19s are more aggressive than mine (i am running 20s spec tires and they are stretched). my fenders are all shaved for clearance and my tein cst all the way down. i know i can go a bit more aggressive to something like yours before i start to get rubbing.

you have springs, the drop isn't as much but at the same time your suspension travel is more than mine, so on dips you are more likely to rub than me.

that's why i said fender mods are likely needed in order to clear the wheels (both front and back). i don't consider fender mods something dramatic, it's almost like putting coilovers to me, just a step.

Thank you sooo much guys~!!!! Especially thanks to you, Rominl.
By the way, how much do they charge you for fender roll?
Actually, I'm from S2000 and I did most of mod myself, including lowering on springs...
Is it just hammering those fender inner well after heating up the paint with heat gun??
Anyways....
I'm going to get those wheels tonight. I'll post the pics when I install those wheels.
I can't wait to see those on my car

do NOT roll the fenders, meaning do NOT roll using heat gun and hammer. believe me the results would be bad due to the fender design

shave the fenders instead. i actually did mine, it's not bad, belt sander with 50 grid and couple of hours in the garage, done. just shave the fenders all the way to the edge for the rear

for the front, i just took off the plastic trim and used a baseball bat to roll a tad

I know the quality of picture is a total crap, but i wanted to share w/ you guys.
It's lowered with NF210, but i'm thinking about getting TANABE pro 5.

Personally, I like the look of front as is. However, rear wheel kindda sticks out like 2~4mm. So i'm thinking about lowering little more with Coilover and have them wrapped on more thick tire like 275/35/19 on rear and 245/40/19. I shaved the rear and front was rolled. I wonder it will rub on front....

definitely lower it more the camber will dial in the wheels and it will look more flush

rub or not you can only test and trial though. but for tires, keep in mind, i don't know what you have now but going "wider" will increase the changes of rubbing. and 275/35 245/40, they are overspec tires. why use them?
