Default Wheel fitment

Hello everyone, I am a new owner of a 1997 Toyota aristo vertex edition.

I am looking at getting new wheels, have done a lot of research about sizes, diameter, width, offsets and tire widths and what not, but I want to run I have not seen yet.

I want to do:
19x9.5 +22 offset with 225/35/19 tires
20x11 +25 offset with 245/35/20 tires

Am I crazy or will this fit stock body, I am willing to roll and pull fenders but nothing beyond that.

I'm 99% sure the fronts will work as I seen someone else running that exact setup but I haven't seen anyone with 20x11 +25 in the rear... I am mainly considered about the rear.

Thanks a lot - Kacper

you didnt look very hard. a lot of people run that. im running that. lol. you will need to cut, roll, pull the front and rear. negative camber and stretch tires.

I ran a 19/20 stagger on my e class, one thing to think about is rolling diameter, I ran a 35 up front and a 30 series on the rear. Also, for what its worth, on sedans a diameter stagger only looks right *to me anyways, if you tuck the dish on the rear 20s and bring the dish to the fender on the front 19s. Sorry I can't be of more help regarding what specific offsets our cars will fit and what work needs to be done in order to fit them

First of all - welcome to CL forums from a fellow Canuck.

Now - I'd like to say that I have run a 19/20 setup on my GS4 and it is now on my friends GS4.

You can do it but the offsets you have will require work as mentioned above.

One thing is if you roll the rear it'll kink every time. This is why he says to cut.

The rear tire you list is too tall. You may get away with it but will be much better off with a 245/30

Your fronts will work with a roll, rears with a shave running around -2.5 to -3 camber.

EDIT: *I would double check measurements on the rear because of tire size, but my number's should be very close.
mentioning how low you plan to be will help too.

I'm running a pretty similar set up with the exception of the 19"/20" stagger. As I'm sure you've read in all the threads you searched, but ride height, camber, and fender work will be factors. I'm personally not a fan of stretched tires but I'm running a 19x9.5 +22 with a 245/35 and a 19x10.5 +18 (pretty much the same as your 20x11 +25) wrapped with 275/30's. I'm rolled up front and rear and only rub on pretty large dips and while making full lock turns. My ride height is just above the tire with just natural camber. If you stretch a 245 or even a 255, I'm pretty sure you'll be all good with some minor fender work unless you're crazy low
