No I went to my boys shop. Hes a member on here he has a lowered SC300.

I test fitted 18x11 +25 with 245/35/18s . If I were on coils I could go lower and fit them easily.

225/35 fronts, 245/35 rears. Should fit perfectly. I run 9.5 +12 front and it's super fitted.

Default how aggressive can i go with bags and stock suspension?

K I spent 2days reading all the different sizes and I still haven't found my answer so CL pls help? lol

Im having 3piece rims made for my bagged GS. I'll be running 19's low disk. Stock suspension with airbags only. Im willing to pull my fenders as much as I need to front and back, and go with the maximum camber ill be able to get with the stock suspension.

Look I'm going for: I want to tuck the front and rear when I air out.

Whats the widest i can fit with lowest offset (how aggressive can I go)?
How big of a lip do you think ill be able to pull off?

thanks for the help.

Well... if you're willing to pull the front/rears "as much as you need" and camber them as well, the sky is the limit as to what offset you'll be able to run.

What I don't understand is this: If you're already having the wheels made, shouldn't you have previously specified the offsets when you placed your order for the wheels?

Let me re-word that. Wheels will start to be built after I make my final payment (1week). Im trying to figure out what I'll be able to pull off with just a shave and pull only (you can only pull a fender so much until it buckles). No professional body work will be done.

If you're not willing to do professional bodywork then you should keep the offsets mild enough to fit with just a roll, or with camber. If you don't mind a lot of camber, then you should check out johntran's build thread, as he didn't do much fender modifications (if any) and just fit using camber. The 2GS fenders are weak to the point where almost any amount of pulling (and some rolling as well) will buckle them. Most of us have learned that the hard way.

Roll the front and shave the rear... I was running a 19x9.5 front (225/35) and a 20x11 rear (275/30) with no rubbing.

Hey guys I have a 2gs lowered on tanabe df210s so 2" in front 1.5" in the back and i was wondering if 19x9.5+15/19x10.5+15 would fit nicely or will it stick out too much or should I just go with +22 instead. Pictures would also be helpful. Thanks in advance
