I'm running Varrstoen es3's in 19x9.5 F and 10.5 R both +12, with LS brakes with no spacer and there's plenty room!

I'm in a similar situation. I purchased Bremmer Kraft BR07 19x9.5 +35 all around for my 2GS w/ LS BBK. I was already running spacers in the front because I was on stock wheels. I did a test fit today and it looks like I will still need 1 of the 2 spacers that I have up front in order to clear the caliper. I have two questions:

1) Would it be wise to take the second spacer from the front and move it to the rear to give a balanced stance? If so, will I also need to get extended wheel studs for the rear?

2) Will I need any fender modifications front or rear? I'm currently on stock ride height, but Megan coils are next to come.

Default Opinions and knowledge requested!

I got a 1998 gs300 black on black, with stock suspension. I'm planning on ordering Lumari Kya 19 inch staggered wheels (8 in front, 9.5 in rear) with Nitto Invo 245/35/19 tires in the front and 275/30/19 in the rear. Would i need some wheel spacers to get an aggresive look im going for? I like the look of the rear wheels to be flush with the fender, maybe just a little bit of the wheel poking out. For an aggresive look without camber. Going to lower it about 1 or 1.5 inch soon afterword with coilovers. (Haven't decided on brand yet) in everyone's opinion would I get a good function and form look? Without the need to roll/shave fenders? Planning on painting the car soon as well.
Thanks in advanced!

UPDATE: I installed my wheels and they look great! I still have a little more tire sticking out in front than I do in the rear due to the spacer. I suppose question #2 has been answered, but I'm still curious about question #1. Heres a few pics of my setup




Front





Rear

18x9.5 +23
18x11 + 35

Want to fit maximum tire on rear is 285's feasible, fronts I would do 245 or 255. I'm assuming fender mods.

I am looking at getting Kranze wheels.

Size is 19x8 +19 F and 19x9.5 -15 in the rear.

What do you guys think will they fit?

Also what tire size should I get?

Not without fender mods and camber.

Depends on the fender mods and camber.

Will a 19x9.5 et -15 look normal on a stock rear of a UCF21? Or will they poke like crazy. It will not be slammed or cambered in like crazy.

1. this is the 2GS forum
2. it will look ridiculous without fender mods and or camber, and an appropriate stance

As pointed out you are in the incorrect forum for the UCF21. You can post your question in the LS Forum HERE

When you say fender MOD do you mean a roll and pull only or more?
