Default New Rims. Tire Help please.

Hey Club Lexus

Im about to get some vossen CV3 and need some help getting new tires so it would touch the fender. currently I have a lexus gs350 2008 with stuff suspension and springs. and im thinking later on to changing to the F-sport springs.

the rims im gettin are

20 x 9 offset 38
20 x 10.5 offset 45

i got some recommnedation to get 245/35-20 F and 275/30-20 R . would this tire size be ok without any rubbing toward the fender or without doing any modification to the fender. THANKS for the Help.

You will rub with that set up because the tires are too 'tall'. I think 1 inch over spec.

I believe the recommended tire sizes are 245/30 and 285/25-20, but you may still need fender work.

msgs50 is correct it will rub. I know this firsthand as I ran that size on my GS 450h and even with shaved fenders it rubbed at times.

I now run the correct
245/30/20
285/25/20

With NO issues.

Thanks for the responses.

i was able to get the Falken Fk 452

245/30/20 and either
275/30/20 or 285/30/20

would this work or would the rear still have some rubbing?
