Those are some crazy sizes, they will require a great deal of work to fit.

My new wheels are going to arrive in a couple weeks and I wanted your guys input on tire fitment

Wheel Specs: 20x9 | 20x10 | +20 all around
Suspension: Coilovers with an aggressive drop, front fenders rolled and very slightly pulled

I would like to go with a moderate stretch on the tire, so I'm thinking 225/35 for the front and 245/35 for the rear. Thoughts?

Havent removed fender liners yet...the last set of wheels I was on almost shaved off the driver side already haha, but so far theyre hanging in there. I was running borrowed 20x9.5 with 225/35 before I put my OE wheels back on. The only issue I was having was the driver side front fender liner. I will def post pics once theyre on!

Does anyone have experience with Rennen wheels? Looking at a set for the GSF. Specs are 19x9.5 +25 19x10 +35. What would be max tire on these, would 255/35 285/30 fit with a fender roll? This was the fitment of them on a 3is but my main concern would be the face clearing these huge calipers

Honestly, those specs sounds ok but the spoke design plays a role in the wheel being able to clear the calipers; not the best answer but spoke design does matter when it comes to clearance.

Default Wheel & Tire Setup Help

I'm thinking about purchasing a slightly used set of Vorsteiner V-FF 107's off a GS-F. I'm worried the current Michelin PS4 tires are too wide to fit on my 2015 GS350 F-Sport.
20 x 9.5 +35 265/30/20
20 x 10.5 +38 295/30/20
5x114.3
Hub : 60.1
Does anyone have experience with this setup? I do not want to deal with major rubbing issues as I drive close around 20k miles a year. I will likely do Swift or RSR Down Springs for a slight drop and SPC Camber kit with any 20" aftermarket wheels I put on.

Thanks in Advance!

I’m pretty sure those tire sizes on those wheel widths will rub.

These tire widths are already pretty wide and with them being Michelins, Michelins run wider than other typical tires, I'd suspect these would rub, especially looking at the rear specs, unless you massage (rolling, camber, etc.) a few things.

Just got these mounted today! Titan TS5, 19x9 on 255/35/19 all around. Its RWD, I went square. I think there is a very slight rub at full turn but its barely noticeable. Currently on Swift springs, will probably change to a coilover somewhere down the line to close the fender gap just a bit more. Super happy with this!

Nice, going to send this to Titan7, where'd you get the idea to run this setup?

Thanks, and that would be awesome!! I really love it. I was reading the differences between staggered vs square, hearing a lot of guys switch from factory staggered to run square on the track for neutral handling (staggered encouraging understeer). Another good friend of mine who is heavy into functional cars told me he runs the widest square set up he can fit on all his cars, so I decided to try it. Only lost .4" of width in the back and gained .7" in the front. I like the motorsport focus from Titan, strong and light, and look great. I'm trying to get the most out of the car in terms of driving feel. I can't tell if it's because of the weight difference from stock wheels or being wider up front, but the front end is a lot more light, responsive and nimble feeling.

I'll do a proper shoot when I get a chance, here is another shot from the parking lot at work
