@Gen GS Dropped - Rim/Tire Help
I recently dropped my 01 GS 300. I used Espelir springs and new stock struts. The ride is stiffer (esp. San Antonio roads) but nowhere near uncomfortable.
The drop was significant enough that people noticed the aggressive stance immediately..
Phase One Complete.
Phase Two - Rims and Tires.
I would like to put 19" rims on but am confused about rim and tire size. I would like as wide a wheel as possible without the tucked look ie. top of the wheel hidden in fender. I also do not want the wheel to be outside the fender in width.
I'm looking at:
19x8.5 Front (245 35R19)
19x9.5 Rear (255 35R19)
Any suggestions?
Anyone have a similar setup? Any advice would be appreciated...
Here's a not-so-great pic of my car after the drop.

Assuming the offsets of the wheels you are looking at is appropriate, I would go with 275/30R19 for the rear.

by measurement and theory, with that setup, i believe your tires should be really close to flush if not about 1/2 to 1 finger gap all around. should look really nice
