Im looking to do a 19x8.5 +20 F and 19x9.5 +20 in the back. 235/35or40 F and 265/35or40 in the rear on my 2GS. I would like to lower my car with no finger gap. What fender modifications would it have to do to make that work. Suggest on tires size would be appreciated. Thx

I have that same wheel specs on my car with 225/35/19 F & 245/35/19 R. Front fenders rolled, inner fender wells heated and tucked in. The rear was a shave. No rubbing the rear. Front has some minor rub, mostly plastic inner fenders. The tires rub the fender when at full lock going down some inclines. Other than that its seems to be fine. Im lowered on Stance coilovers to no gap in front and small tire tuck in the rear. Hope that helps.

need help ..planning on new wheels. I want to stay with 18 inch. I am on Megan EZ so i can adjust my height, no problem. I want a set that is not sunk in and looks even with the fender (much as possible without and fender mods). What wheels and tire specs do you guys recommend? This is my daily driver so no stretch tires and would like to stay with 40 series for comfort. thanks guys!

As far as the inner fenderwells, I'm talking about the plastic inner liner. I know alot of people just remove it, but I drive my car rain and all. I chose to heat it up with a heat gun and push it up as far as I can. Then tuck it into the lip of the fender I created when I rolled the front fenders. Hope that helps explain it.

Im thinking of running
Size - Front 20 x 8.5 / Rear 20 x 10
Bolt Pattern - 5 x 114.3 ( 5 x 4.50 )
Offset - Front +35mm / Rear +40mm
Will this work without a roll and spacers? Thanks. (Im lowered on springs.)What would be the best size tires to run all the way around?

Just curious. I'm dropped on function and form type 2. Was thinking about ordering the varrstoen es7 19x9.5/11 +22 fronts +25 rears! Do I need spacers up front on my is350? What tires should I run? 225/35 255/35?
