Default 20x9.5 and 20x11 +15....will it work?

I currently have 20x9.5 +15 and 20x11 +15 on my G35. I'm parting out the G35 and wondering if this setup would work on a 98-05 GS. I know a stretch would be needed along w/ some fender mod and negative camber.

I tried searching but it seems to be a bit vague. What's the most aggressive fitment out there w/o widebody right now?

It will work with some work. Meaning pull and roll would make them work.

^^ That's pretty aggressive, although it could work with a good amount of fender mods, and a really good stretch.

I would. A friend of mine is running similar sizes and all it takes is some work to make it work.

I'm not thinking too hard about this so correct me if I'm wrong.

waijai is asking +15 on an 11. Most people do +15 on a 10 no?


That's def going to need considerable camber and fender mods.

On an 11 a + 28 would be about equivalent to a +15 on a 10.

It can work if you're willing to do what's necessary to fit them. Slam the car for negative camber, stretch the tires, pull the fenders.

shave/light pull up front and shave and pull rears, depending on how you drop it you should be able to run it. Bippupxr is running 19x11 -51 on the rear and he hasn't had to radius yet.

No one ever has to radius. It just makes things look much better.

i think you should sell your set and buy something that will fit the lexus. i think your current set is very aggressive. you can save yourself a lot of headaches and get another set with a +25 or +30 offset in 20x9 and 20x10's.

Sounds too conservative to me...gotta push the limits to play with the big boys. If I stuck w/ conservative, no frills, no mess offsets, then I'd be just like every other modded GS right?

Here's a shot I took tonight that I like.



Quick Reply: 20x9.5 and 20x11 +15....will it work?
