I know for a fact you can run 15mm in the front and 25mm in the rear. Chrispy and many other members have done it.
Your main concern would be if you hit the inner lip in the rear. That should have been obvious by now. If you hit it, you will need to shave your fender. You probably wont find many pictures of stock 17's with a 30mm spacer. The member on the other thread said it fit no problem with his 16's. The difference between 25mm and 30mm is only 5mm.
I would make sure your suspension is stiff and wont rub or hit when you are driving over bumps in the road if you plan on using 30mm.

) 16" stockers on the car now ,and I measured one inch (25.4mm) OUT from the top of the tire, and it's not even close to hitting...But, that's with the 16 x 7.5's and.. my SUPER Narrow 205/60's.(hah- they're GREAT in the snow though!) 25mm and either 235/45 (like it SHOULD be) or even with the 245/45's I have on the 17 x 8's- with 0.0" Neg camber [YET!!!] should be perfect. Thanks for the help, bro!
Ordering the 25mm adapters right now!

Perfect- That's exactly what I was thinking. I only thought about 30mm instead of 25mm for the rear, because I have a set of (custom powercoated! ) 16" stockers on the car now ,and I measured one inch (25.4mm) OUT from the top of the tire, and it's not even close to hitting...But, that's with the 16 x 7.5's and.. my SUPER Narrow 205/60's.(hah- they're GREAT in the snow though!)

Hey question you guys. I have a gs300 and I'm looking to buy these wheels from a friend. His wheels are coming off of a Honda accord 2011 coupe. Our bolt patterns are the same (5x114.3) but his wheel bore patter is 64.1 and mine is 60.1. The rims are 20x10 +14(f) an 20x11.5 +9(r). Would this fit fine? What type of fender adjustments need to be done? I'm ordering Tien coilovers suspensions and also a camber kit. I'm going to shave fenders but do I necessarily have to cut/pull my fenders? Also what tire siZe? This will be my first time doing the aggressive fitment. Any and all help would be excellent!

Rears you'll need to shave flat and camber for it to fit.
I would do
Fronts 225/35 or 235/35
Rears 255/35 or 265/35

I have no experience with tires and wheels, so I come to you guys!
Trying to decide between 2 sets of wheels to use with my stock suspension:
Set 1 -- 18x9 +32 offset
Set 2 -- 18x8 +40 offset
Currently using 235/40/18's. Will both setups work with these tires? Is there a different tire size you would recommend with these setups? Currently using 235/40/18's.

Front Fitment Help: 19x9 +0
The fenders are rolled a bit but the tires are still catching. I'm currently running 225/35 and front spring rates are 14kg/mm. Suggestions? I considered running the 215/35 but there is still a fair amount of poke even with neg camber.

Hey everyone! I'm a long-time lurker and honestly still new to the 2GS platform. I came across a set of Work Euroline DH wheels that I've always wanted but the Offset is a bit Agressive. The rears are 19x10 +0 and they are fine even with a 235/35 tire but the fronts are giving me a bit of an issue. I have 19x9 +0 up front with a 225/35 from the previous owner. While the previous owner was in air, I'm rolling static but I'm catching the fender on turns and cannot turn full lock up and down driveways. I'm considering getting a 215/35 and rolling the fenders even more. What I am trying to avoid is having to repaint my fenders or having bacon fenders. Any help or input will be greatly appreciated. I have maxed out my camber and I do not have any aftermarket suspension bits in the front.

I'm looking for a non-staggered, slight to no camber, and slight to no stretch on tires (square setup?lol)
Anyway I'm looking at a 19x10+25 all around, will it give me trouble? I don't have a problem getting my fenders pulled or rolled. I'm also looking at 19x9.5+12 cause I was told those wouldn't be a problem at all. I'm planning to lower the car on coils after I get the rims if that makes a difference.
