Hey guys.
I just got new wheels.
XXR 527
18x8.75 +20
18x9.75 +20
--irrelevant banter snip--
I am going to wrap them in Nexen N3000
225/40/18
245/40/18
My question is, will I need any fender modifications? I removed some of the fender liners up front, and also cut my bumper tabs up front already. Never rolled and I really don't plan to, but if I have to, I will.
I am dropped on Tein SS coilovers, roughly 1.75 inchs from stock.
I plan to go lower, but not slammed.
Any suggestions?
I also didn't want to stretch crazy tires like I did with my LC818 ( 19x8.5 215/35/19 19x10 235/35/19) because of how much the wheels stick out of the tires, and rock chips damaging the very sides of the wheels.
Thanks CL

2. you'll need to naturally pull your fenders while getting them rolled if you want to go lower
3. you weren't really stretching tires (it's a weak stretch and safe for daily driving), but if you have issues driving with low-offset wheels and semi-stretched tires, you should be driving an SUV instead.
4. those tire sizes will have approximately the same stretch as your old set-up. if that presents an issue for you, see #3.
no for the rear. probably not for the front as well. for conservative specs lik this, tire size and ride height would determine the need for fender mods.

Need a quick answer please. Would these offsets and tires fit without fender mods. I'm dropped on Megan ez about 1-2 finger gap front and rear.
20x8.5 +38 245/30/20
20x10.5 +45 275/30/20
I'm assuming the tires in the front won't work and the rear offset won't work according to my calc it will have 20mm less inner clearance?
Thanks in advance

i just ordered (or received as a hanukkah gift) lexus oem 18" g-spiders
and am coming from the original wheels that look like this -
(i have a 2008)
i'm worried that the original wheels aren't 18 inch wheels and i'll now have to buy a whole new set of tires. can anyone confirm or deny this? were the oem 10-spoke wheels shown above available in the US in a 17" size? and/or can anyone confirm whether or not i'll be able to just switch the tires onto the new wheels when they arrive?
thanks!

Bought some new wheels:
Specs: Front - 19x8.5 +35, Rear - 19x10 +43
Current Tires:
Front - 235/35/19
Rear - 265/30/19
There's quite a bit of stretch from the tires, and I'm worried that there may be damage incurred from driving in LA. But from experience (due to running 19x8.5 +35 wheels before), the front tires may not be able to run wider tires without rubbing the front bumper tab, but I was wondering if I can run 275/30/19 or 275/35/19 on the rear without problems.
Ran a tire size calculator (http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecal...ction=submit):
It looks like only a difference in ~10mm in width, and ~5mm to ~33mm in overall diameter.
