Default Wheel fitment

I recently just bought some Varrstoen Es2 19x9.5 +22/19x10.5 +22 to put on my 99 Gs300 that has the Ls400 big brake upgrade. I know ill need to run spacers in the front to clear the caliper. They come with tires already on them 225/35 & 235/45.I just have lowering springs on at the moment(will do coil overs next).My question is will i need to roll/pull my fenders any if at all to run them on my current set up?

Depending on how low you go, but most likely yes and yes. This guy has the exact offsets WITHOUT spacers and you can clearly see some work done and camber to accept the width. With spacers, I believe pulling is inevitable.

I had these wheels on my car, needed a 10mm spacer to clear the Supra TT calipers.
I ran 245/35 rear rather than 235, but not much difference.
You will need to roll the fronts and shave the rears to fit this with the natural camber you will get from lowering your car on coilovers, for which I would suggest BCs.

Do you have more pics of your setup and what tire size are you running for front and rear? Thanks.

Would you call your set up meaty? It doesn't look to stretched which is exactly what i want.

That's exactly what I'd call it bc it's the look I'm going for.

Does it rub any when hitting bumps? I see you had some fender work in the front and back

It'll rub lightly out back on the highway when going over a dip but other than that, no. Fenders need more work to clear the tires as with the new setup I have more room to go lower.

Got my wheels and put them on . I def need thicker tires in the rear since I'm not on coils right now, 245/35 isn't going to cut it. Any suggestions?

Well I'd suggest you go lower?
You saw all of the cars we showed you with the same specs and they were all lowered
