Default help on rim size and offset...
today i called discount tire to order rims...and they told me that 20x8.5 with a +38 offset will not clear the abs breaks on a stock lexus gs 300 2006 awd is that correct?

how about 20x8 with +35 or 38 offset?

I think it will clear? The 06 300 didn't get the brakes upgrade in the front.

+35 offset for the 300 will clear (couple mms.) with no problems. I am sure, i tested this myself.
