Want your opinion, which 19" fitment should I go with and why? We're talking about a 2000 GS 400, lowered about 2", tires 245/35-19 front and 275/30-19 rear. The wheels have a stepped lip and are mesh, that's all I'm gonna say about it .

Thank you for your feedback!

Option 1
19×8.5 +43 Front
19×9.5 +45 Rear

Option 2
19×9.0 +38 Front
19×10 +40 Rear

Option 3
19x8.5 +43 Front
19x10 +40 Rear

 

are you welling to do a bit of fender mods, if at all?

if yes, 2. if no, 1 (very conservative)

 

No fender mods for me. Is that necessary for option 2? I've read your fitment guide BTW .

 

personally i think it's probably not needed, but it's marginal i say

 

Go with the Doc's (Rominl) recommendation, Option 2.


Option 1
19×8.5 +43 Front (very very conservative)
19×9.5 +45 Rear (very conservative)

Option 2
19×9.0 +38 Front (Aggressive) - But The Look You Want
19×10 +40 Rear (Aggressive) - But The Look You Want

Option 3
19x8.5 +43 Front (very very conservative)
19x10 +40 Rear (Aggressive)

Option 4
19×9.0 +38 Front (Aggressive)
19x10 + 35 Rear (Professional )

 

Hmmm... wonder where those numbers came from ?

 

He made them up : ).

 

actually, i think that's from my guide

and MyAristo, welcome to clublexus

 

option 2.

 

I'd go with option 2

 

Any reason why Option 3 has not been suggested by anyone? I was actually leaning towards that... decisions, decisions...

 

I think I said the same thing too. I think the wheel guru, rominl, just confirmed it for me.

 

Shhh... don't let the out of the bag!

 

That's because 19 x 8.5 et +43 would sit inside the fender too much...

Here's my brother's car with 19 x 8.5 et+40, you can see how much it sticks inside the fenderwell.



I think 19 x 9 et+38 would be a better choice but that's just me

 

id do option 2
