"a lot of lip front and rear" = wide wheels + low offset

wide wheels + low offset = roll + pull

in this situation, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Well, can't find the exact answers to my question, just that at minimum I need to pull the fenders, but here's the wheel sizes:

19x9 +22
19x10.5 +32

I am dropped with s-tech's, and currently have 225/40/19 and 255/35/19 Invo's.

What will be necessary to get these rims to fit without issues? I'm hoping just rolling the fenders, but I got a feeling new tires will be part of the equation, which sucks because I JUST bought this set of Nitto's.

Thanks guys!

i demand to see what wheels you are thinking of getting before i give you any advice...

just kidding.

a pull-roll (natural action of fender rolling will slightly pull the fender outward) should be fine.

tires: in the front, you might be able to get away with 225/40-19, though you should've gone w/ 35-series up front. in the rear, you might be able to get away with 255/35-19 on a 10.5.

the fender bolts in the front will have to go, and you'll have to find a way to secure the bumper tab to the fender tab. you can keep the rear fender bolts in, but it would be a good idea to shave the rear tabs down to a minimum.

hope this helps.

i went with a 275/30-20 in the rear.. will i need to make any fender adjustments on this? I'm hoping I won't have to... kind of anxious to throw these wills on asap...

i already addressed your fitment question, but since you made up your mind on a wider tire size, i see no point in giving more advice you won't take anyways.

and since you already went with those tires on those wheels, you'll just have to mount up the wheels and tires, and find out for yourself.

best of luck.

he asked me in PM also, i said it should fit, but... he never mentioned his fenders were un modded. a 275 without rolled or shaved fenders is gunna be tight.


just so everyone knows, I ASSUME that if you dont say anything about no fenders mods, you either have them done already or ARE NOT AGAINST modifying your fenders...



to everyone
YOU NEED MODDED FENDERS FOR AGGRESSIVE WHEELS PERIOD

Thanks man! I actually meant to write roll not pull in my post, so I'm glad that should be the extent of the fender work besides ridding of tabs and such.

I wanted a 35 series up front but in order to get all Invo's I could only get a 40 series since I had no time before leaving Texas for the Pursuit. It already rubs something when making semi-tight turns.

If you browse the classifieds, shouldn't be hard to find which rims I'm after... and I have a full Wald kit on the way, so these more aggressive wheels are very necessary

I just traded in my G35 for a 2007 IS250 RWD and was wondering if my wheels would fit. I have Vossen CV1's with 275/30/20r and 245/30/20f. The wheels are 20x10.5(+25) and 20x9(+20). I currently have the stock suspension because I just got the car this week. Will these fit without any mods?

I can tell you I was rubbing like crazy with 225/40/19 on the front of mine and I was running a 19x8.5 +28 on stock suspension. I removed my 15mm spacer to make it a +43 and I was still rubbing bad. I would not run the 40 series tire on the front. It is almost 2 inches taller than the stock tire.

Thanks for the personal experience I'm budgeting to buy new front tires if I get the wheels, just so I'm not shocked if after the roll and cutting tabs it still rubs with the tires I have. Is a 225/35 a good/best option after rolling the front fenders or do I need a more stretched tire

no a 225/35 is good, you dont need to run a 215/35 until 19x8.5+23 or so..

Default 1998 GS400 17" Wheels

Is there a catalog of all Lexus wheels from all models that will fit a 1998 GS 400 with no issues?

e.g. 2008 OEM Lexus GS 17's
or ES350 wheels

etc

Wheels that I cannot easily see, but can be shipped to me.. thanks

too lazy to search. j/k. i'll do a look-see through the wheels/tires classified and see what wheels you're getting.

on a related note, the invo's are okay at best from personal experience...

225/35-19 is probably your best option. 225/40-19 can be used in a pinch, but it would depend on your ride height due to these being a taller-sized tire.
