Do you guys think a 19x9.5 +33 & 19x10.5 +37 would work without mods? The tire sizing will be 225 40 19 & 255 35 19. I found a good deal on some wheels but offset MIGHT be too aggressive perhaps. Just want to see if anyone has ran offsets like that.

Default Wheel question

Hey guys, I recently bought a 2006 GS 430 and am considering the following wheel sizes:

20x9.5 +38
20x10.5 +38

I will be dropped on Tanabe pro 5 and will most likely need a little stretching of the tires.

Do you forsee lots of fender work for this set up? Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks!

I test fitted similar +37 offset of the same width and they stuck out of the fender too much. I'm certain some fender trimming is in order if you want to run 275s. It might I mean it might work with a 255 rear but it might look a little funky combined with a 225 35 20 front.

Default Thanks

Thanks for your input username32. I entered the information into an online wheel calculator. It appears the factory 18" wheel is 18x8 +45 all around.

The rear sizing for a 20x10.5 +38 would yield an additional 39mm (about 1.5 inch) further out. I would most likely need to run a 245 or 255 to prevent rubbing, however, I am willing to shave my rear fenders a little to compensate.

Has anyone seen a new GS with the Gianelle Santorini wheels in black? If so, could you direct me to the pics? I'm considering these for my next wheel but can't find a good configurator to display them on the car.

Those are not ugly but they look like they belong on a chuck wagon.

has anyone seen a legitimate picture (non-Lumarai configurator site) of the black Lumarai Morro, 20's on a 3g? The silver ones look awful but I'm considering the black...
