Okay boys! I'm going for +32/+45 on 245/30's and 285/25's!

BTW, my fenders have already been extensively rolled by Lexus themselves! All the linings have already been removed. And fender painted due to rolling. So I'm set to go!

And since I'm riding on BCR's, i can play with height and damping!

Now all I need is to make sure I get the tires I want. Any recommendations guys?

I need to do this in the next 48 to 72 hours! My shipping company will pick them up from the location of supplier choice. Hopefully, straight from vossen warehouse?

Mike, jav? Is that okay with you guys?

if you fenders are all rolled already, maybe 35/30 profile will be ok. can't say for sure though, i am just saying!

Maaan, I am learning. This is the toughest thing I have come across as far as modding my car is concerned! Offsets.... grrrrr! Can't get my head around it!

Maybe this will help some experts here tell me what offset and tire sizes are good for me!

I am now running this setup

MRR GT1
19 x 8.5 +35 Fronts ( 245/35/19 )
19 x 9.5 +45 Rears ( 275/30/19 )

Fenders rolled and BCR coil overs installed! NO RUBBING!

Check out the pics and my ride height, I might decide to go 1/2 inch lower in the future. I also want a slightly more flush look with my Vossens.

Very impressive bro, very impressive! I think the 10.5's will be perfect for the rears! Your are 10 right? I think with 285's, it's gonna look just right in the fat dept!

yes, i have 10+37, which is the same as 10.5+43. so the 10.5+45 from vossen will be pretty close to what i have on my car. keep in mind in that picture i have 265/30 so it's stretched, now i have 275 and it's much better. for 10.5 with 285, i think it should be good for you (i know you don't like stretching).

Oh ***** I forgot to mention, I have 10mm spacers installed.

So with +35 and +45, I am basically running +25 and +35.

if you part it out keep me in mind for the grill! Are you side mirrors aftermarket as well?

Romini, if you part out your GS, then this thread becomes useless. LOL

It sounds like they will fit fine. Where are you buying the wheels from, did they say they have to order them from us?


and yes, Henry's car is SICK
