Default Will these sizes and offsets work on a 98 GS400 35mm front and 40mm rear ??

The wheels are 20" X 8.5" and 20" X 10" with a 5 X 114.3 bolt pattern. The offset is 35mm front and 40mm rear. Im looking to do these wheels with the tien s tech springs. Tires im looking at are the Falken FK452 in the sizes of 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 for the rears. are these overly aggresive, will fender mods be needed? Any help would be appreciated.

i would suggest 235/35/20 for the front if possble. it's pretty aggressive up front, a bit stretch tires would help.

front i think you can roll a bit fender to help clearance, and the rear is pretty safe, probably just need to shave a bit fenders

Thanks for the info. i was looking at this thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=225074 and was noticing he's the 451 Falken tire and i noticed his seemed to stretch running a 255/35/20 on a 9" rim. Although his offsets are different i thought i may have been able to get away with the 245/35 up front. But i'll take that advice to heart. I read the fitment sticky but just wanted to double check before i place any orders. Now as far as fender mods, can they be rolled, or do they need to be cut or shaved? and do you see where i may run into fitment/rubbing issues up front?

245's dont match the stretch of a 275.try a 235 and 275 combo better.

ok after checking back with the tire maker they only make a 245/30/20 for the front unles i go with a 235/30/20. is it possible to fit it, and go with maybe a 285/30/20 rear. i mean from what i've seen the Falkens seem to not have a blocky shoulder as some of the other makers.

well in that case i think 245/35/20 is your best choice. as long as they are not meaty that's good i think
