Offsets are the metric measurement of the wheel backspacing from the center of the wheel the center being 0, and the backspacing being the inside of the rim that bolts to the hub of the car. offsets that are to high can cause you to rub inside the wheel well up against the engine compartment wall. lower offsets will bring you out closer to the fender side causing you to rub on the liner/fender/roll guard etc. Those tire sizes are also over spec by and inch meaning that the overall diameter of the wheel is an inch larger than the factory wheel thus throwing off the speedo and causing you to possibly rub more so than if the tires were in spec. I have low offsets and ride super low and don t rub at all, but I also have stretched tires, and my fenders are shaved.
Haha....I know about offsets. Just wondering what his are to go along with the 245/35/20 to cause him to rub on his fender. I'm worried cuz I'm lowered on df210 with 20x8.5 +40 on 235/35/20 but will be going to 245/35/20 soon and hope I won't rub on the new setup.

I will get coilovers soon, but should i also shave my fenders? its only when i turn that my tires rub against it, but im not sure if its just rubbing against the fender, it might be hitting something else too, like the engine compartment.. & idk about the rim offsets, but theyre MRR GT-1's from this site

too bad this car can't handle bigger tires without rubbing. cuz that's what it needs.

the GS factory tire size is smallest in its class.
