Default Some new shoes

Just put these on my 2007 gs450h. Back tires rub a little over bumps and on freeway over dips, have to figure that one out hopefully won't hurt something. Probably because they are 275/35/20, but got a great deal on Craigslist. Anyway, whatcha think?

Looks good from what I can see. Any chance you can post some clearer pics? Taken outside in daylight maybe.

They are Privat Netz rims, a higher end Konig wheel. Thanks for the nice comments. Again could not pass up the deal even if a little rub here an there, oh well.

Your not going to believe this, but here are the specs and they are 275/30/20 on rear. Oh well, it is not all that bad, sorry about the mistake, I swear they were 35's.

Front wheels are 20 x 8.5 with 38 offset.
Rear wheels are 20 x 10 with 35 offset.

Front tires. Yokohama S-Drive 245/35 R20
Rear tires, Yokohama S-Drive 275/30 R20

Ahaaaaa.. there's your problem! The Yokohamas have bigger sidewalls. I got rid of mine and installed Falkens, and no rubbing ( even though I have spacers ) you can visually see the smaller sidewalls its unbelievable. And I'm running 19's!

Check out the fender cut marks!

Those tires are too big. Should be running something like a 245/30 in the front and a 275/25 in the back.

Not tru same tire size I'm running but in the bridgestone RE960 and no issues at stock height with more aggressive offset. For lower stance had to modify fenders (shave).
