Just brought a brand new Gs 350 F rwd from Lexus of Orlando. I had the tanabe nf210 installed and just received vossen cv7s 20* 9 offset 32 front and 20*10.5 offset 45 back . I am in process of looking for tires and been doing research but came up with many mixed reviews about the size of the back tire. Some claim that 285/30/20 do not rub and some do? I obviously do not want to roll or shave fenders. I also read that vossen recommends 275/30/20 but rather have 285 if rubbing isn't a issue. Can someone please shed some light on this issue for me? Thanks

I have the same set up and I run 285's. You will rub with the 285's if you don't modify the inner quarter wheel house

Thanks!..worth the mod? or should I just go with 275?

I wouldn't change a thing...

go with 285, you will not rub if you get continental tires. Continental tires are more round on the edges and no mod required.

Pilotpri

Do you have this same set-up?...

I'm running nitto tires drop on Tanabe and my friend is running with continental tires on Vossen cv4 same offset with drop and no rubbing

Nice pick up on the CV7's...here is what I've shared before...

275/30/20 is recommended and will give people no issues. Those that want to go 285/30/20 can but it is not recommended. There seems to be some hit/miss situations with people and the type of tire they have and also does their car have "rear steering".

For my wife's GS F-sport she was running 285/30/20 Nitto Invo. It did seem to rub sometimes in the rear and she was not having it . I went to Mr. Wheels and had the rear fenders rolled with a Mallet (I.e banged the inner fender liner). Since then I had no issues with rubbing. My wife's GS-F sport does have "rear steer".

I have now switched to the new VFS-2 and using the new Toyo T1 Sports and have no issues.

AWD owners wishing to lower and use those same types of wheels, have to go 285. Otherwise you'll touch up the differential.

As is always the case, the mixed reviews about 275 vs 285 and whether 285s will rub or not keeps me on the sideline.

Another option for AWD is to run 235/275. A CL mbr is running that set-up and stated, 'is w/in spec'...

thanks for the advice!! Seems like I'm just gonna go with 275s .. would be nice to go 285 but seems like to much work ...I will post pics next week when the tires come in..i also painted the rear black Diffuser to match the car (white) and added a roof spoiler.. should be interesting to see how it turns out!! thanks again!!
