Yes, Tanabe. Great springs for a daily driver.

This can't really be the widest wheel on a gs350 is it? Id say this conservative. Unless I missed something in the previous thread.

yup the previous posting asked for the widest and most aggressive offsets, so that I could put my own custom wheels on. I decided against crazy widths, although they were never really an option to begin with.

Note that a 275/30/20 Sumitumo tire will only stretch, not go to the end of the wheel. the 285 BARELY makes it there. I will try a different brand later, but these are REALLY quiet and have loads of traction for the price point.

Yep ran this last summer, you must be rubbing a little, I was last summer. I used bridgestone tires and it was at the end perfect fit but rubbed. Probably because I never rolled the fenders

Well my fitment is not quite as wide as most people in here as previously stated. My offsets are not quite as low as those people that have those 9 inch fronts and 10.5 rears either.
If you base that I rub off of my tire sizes you are mistaken. I just looked under there today, there's no indication of rubbing. I'll check both sides again.
