need some help. I am looking at a set of wheels and looking for which specs will work

18x9.5 et22 or et30 for the front
and for the rear
18x10.5 et22 or et15 for the rear.

I want it to be flush but nothing crazy. Anyone have an idea of what I can run?

Here's a pic of my GS430 sitting clean on OEM 18x8s. From the 3GS models.

i posted this in another thread that was relevant but thought i might have better luck here with my slammed brethren....

anybody else slammed with shaved or rolled fenders running into flappin fender liners? I've rubbed through, trimmed out, massaged and reformed with a heat gun the problematic areas but still running into these fender liners hanging down. Thanks in advance fellas!

No problem bro. I kept the skid plate for a while until it just kept losing the screws to hold it in. I'll probably replace it eventually but as of now I haven't had any issues with it not being there.

Thanks bro! Yeah, lol mine got pretty mangled, lol. Had to pull over and make an emergency surgery on it cut out over 1/2 of it and zip tie up the remaining scrap pieces. It was sliding all over the place! Not too cool driving around with that thing sliding around. Funny now looking back at it =) Thanks again North!

If you're really worried about removing the liner, I have heard of people spraying bedliner or epoxy type stuff in there
