I originally had 245/40/20 fronts, they rub the inner plastic liners and now I have about 3 holes in them hahaha. Switched to 255/35/20 and everything solved. Anyway 245/40/20 is over tire for the GS.

 

Okay, so I don't want 45s then! I'm just thinking that the front tires on my car have about the right amount of sidewall- but if they were wider then they'd be taller too with metric, so 35s might be just right. If it was just a bit tighter on the steering and handling that would be okay, but I don't want it to be much firmer. The 19s are just about right- I'd like it to be just touch tighter.

 

If you want more meat on the sidewalls, stick to 19 instead and use 245/40/19 or even 255/40/19 on the front - that should be plenty of meat. Pair with 275/35/19 or 285/35/19 for rears. 245/40/20 are more suitable for LS.

 

any idea if 245/35/20 & 285/30/20 would rub or give issues? 235/35 & 275/30 would be pushing it in terms of comfort.

 

Depending on your offsets/type of spring used. I am running Swift springs and 255/35/20 in front - they don't rub.

 

Anybody know if I will have issues with 19x9 +28 for the front? Already got wheels 19x9 +38 but will not clear the brakes. Recommended 10mm spacer to clear and from what I read will make my offset -10.

already got 245/40/19 lowered on coils.. really hope I don’t have any issues when I get the spacers and wheels on:

 

So you're saying a +38 offset won't clear the calipers? I'm looking to go 9x20 +40, is it maybe due to the spoke design not clearing?

 

yes the disc type is not clearing. +38 should have no issues just make sure they clear bbk!

 

Are these some variety of JDM 2 or 3 piece wheel?


A specific offset is never guaranteed to clear calipers. Wheels come with wildly varied spoke designs and hub pads thicknesses.

 

yeah they are weds 3pc wheels

 

Nice. What disk were they built with? I really want a set of Leon Hardiritt Friedens, but even with the most possible caliper clearance (Lo-Disk vs. Super Lo) I have no idea if they'll clear my front calipers and I don't want to run spacers.

 

woooo it fits!!

 

Looking good!

 

Weds Kranze Maricive? I like the look. what size tires are you running?

 

vishnu’s

245/40 front and 275/35 rears.

a part of me is regretting not going 20’s but the other part still enjoys the comfortable ride. Perhaps will project the wheels into step lip 20’s in the future.
