Ksan, how was the ride quality -- the uca banging? I was thinking of 20x10 +30 squared 235/35. Other than roll and shave, did you pull?

Looks great...I am running 20*9 with 28 offset on the fronts (245/35/20) and it's rubbing on the inner fender liner
Rear's i am running 20*10 with 30 offset (275/30/20) and it rubs going over the dips and bumps (It rubs on the fender)

Any advice on what to do? Should i change front tires to 255/30 instead? or Pull & Shave?
I am afraid to drive around with 30 series sidewall.

Currently my Car is on Stock height, Looking to go with Coils.
Your help will be appreciated!

I would get coilovers, so ur car won't give so much since u can adjust the damper. I would had ran 225 35 20 on front and 245 35 20 on rear. Those will stretch better and clear the fenders.

hi guys, so after getting back from vacation, i am finally able to work on my car a bit. first thing are wheels. i've decided to go with building a set of 19" work equip 05. from what i have researched on this thread, for 19s, front offset can run from 15-35 and rears can run from 25-35. is someone able to help me figure out which will be the best setup for this type of rim? i am trying to optimize lip size, and i think going with a 19x10 in the front and a 19x11 in the rear would do that, please correct me if i'm wrong unless going with a smaller width would be better. i will be lowered on bc coilovers with camber arms. fenders will be shaved and rolled. thanks

HI all, First off I'm more of a 20" wheel type of guy with our 3GS's but I came across a nice set of Leon Hardriftt Orden's for a decent price! ( one of my favorites wheels ) but in a 19x9.5 +28 and 19x10.5 +28 as the title of this thread. Questions I have are; Are the spec of these wheels okay being AWD (staggered width)? and If it was okay, what tire size can/ should I run? I seen a similar post like this that I am creating but on the 2IS 250/350 portion of this forum. I ran a 20x10+20 square setup with a 235/35/20 tire and had slim to no issues. One issue I ran into was rubbing on full turns against the inner fender wheel well ( started happening 3 months after having the wheels installed ) Understanding and knowing that our 3GS body is much bigger than the 2IS, Can I run a 235/35/19 all around on these specs? Or what is recommended?

If anyone has or is running these spec's on their 3GS's please share your input! Or any input!

Mods:
BC Coils
Rear Fenders shaved
Rear Camber kit (Soon, after winter)
